TFQ reminded me: WHO CARES??!! I bought it. I sent email, but eventually had to call <a href=\"http:\/\/www.clementinesdrygoods.com\/\">Clementine&#8217;s Dry Goods<\/a> to actually get the fabric in the mail. Lovely that I did, because I spoke with the most helpful\/ customer service oriented person. She didn&#8217;t bat an eye when I said that I was calling about a fabric that I had seen in a picture on the Camilla Knits blog. The fabric arrived two days later (no, I didn&#8217;t pay for fast shipping) in the lovely little package the you see above with a free Kaffe dots FQ. I&#8217;ll have to go and buy stuff there more often.<\/p>\n<p>I would actually like to go to the store and look around. The photos look like it is a wonderfully inviting place. I like the look of the high gloss shelves and I adore those <a href=\"http:\/\/camillaknits.blogspot.com\/2007\/08\/ladies-have-started-to-arrive.html\">Ladies<\/a>. I hope to convince DH that I need them for the living room.

I heard about it and sent off the French bag and the Alexander Henry bag. As TFQ predicted, the Alexander Henry bag won a judges choice prize. The prize was the above pack of three FQs (above). So nice! The QA staff got a great photo of it <a href=\"http:\/\/quiltingadventures.com\/qablog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/05\/jaye.jpg\">here<\/a>.
