Who could be better than Santa?
I will give you some hints.
He wears a suit like Santa.
He drives a special vehicle like Santa.
He brings packages like Santa.
He has a broad face and a little round belly, that shakes when he laughs like a bowlful of jelly. Just like Santa
So you ask, how could he be better than Santa.
Instead of a sleigh he drives a brown truck.
Instead of packages with big red bows.
He brings plain brown boxes taped with blue and white tape.
Instead of a red suit he wears a brown suit.
He is our trusty UPS driver and his name is Al.
(Bleach that mustache and he could almost pass for Santa.)
Just like Christmas Morning,
I tore open those packages as quickly as I could.
This is what I found in the packages.
Isn't it lovely?
Well it is Lovely. (The name of the line is Lovely.)
Lovely will be debuting at fall market.
I am off to create quilts and patterns for this lovely line.
Market set-up is in 11 days!
We have 6 quilts to make in 11 days...and nights.
Pray for me.
From my heart,
Sandy

You just might need a few elves to help you out! Fabrics look fantastic:)
ReplyDeleteWow, Al is so nice to you! You must have been a very good girl!
ReplyDeleteUnless you're planning on turning Italian, I'm pretty sure you spelled your name wrong in your labels for this post! But I guess if I had 6 quilts to make in 11 days, I wouldn't be too worried about how my name was spelled either!
That fabric is gorgeous! Can't wait to see what you create with it. I know it will be Lovely!

6 quilts in 11 days, I guess no time for fun. Pretty colors in your Lovely fabric!
ReplyDeleteHoly crappa moley Sandy, I wish that delivery came to my house so I could sew with it too! :) You're right...it is lovely...congratulations!
ReplyDeleteGood luck, Sandy! Sounds like you need one of those old fashioned quilting bees to help get everything done in time!
ReplyDeleteOOOO, I can't wait to see a LOVELY set of pictures of these LOVELY quilts made from the LOVELY fabrics designed by the LOVELY Miss Sandy..... can you tell I've seen and entered many LOVELY GO! contests? Still wishing I could win one, maybe by the time your LOVELY Fabrics hit the stores??(the Lovelies really are a beautiful collection!!) Glad you have help cranking out all those quilts in such a short time!! GOOD LUCK!!
ReplyDeleteLovely is so lovely! Can't wait to see the quilts!
ReplyDeleteHe really is better than Santa. What beautiful fabric. I wish I was closer I would help you out, good luck with your deadline.
ReplyDeleteIt IS LOVELY!! I can't wait to really get a good look at it. So it debuts at market - when can WE get our hands on it???
ReplyDeleteLOVELY line, perfect name. Good luck in the following days!!
ReplyDeleteI've been wondering what your new line would look like! I love it!!!
ReplyDeleteI love it! Good luck with those quilts!
ReplyDeletenothing like the last moment there. Is that usual? Thank goodness your package didn't get delayed any there!! SHEHS!
ReplyDeleteOooh, what a pretty stack of yumminess! I think I'd rather see the UPS man too if he were bringing me that box, LOL!
ReplyDeleteAnd YIKES! That's alot of quilting in the next few days, you have my prayers☺
Beautiful! Hope to see you in Houston!
ReplyDeleteIt really does look lovely! Good luck! I can't wait to see the finished quilt pictures.
ReplyDeleteLOVE IT!!!!! Can't wait to see what you have planned for Lovely.
ReplyDeleteBeautifull Lovely fabric! My UPS guys name is Al, too. We like him a lot. He comes to my home and the quilt shop, and when he comes to the shop he says he's bringing us money when we complain about the big boxes!
ReplyDeleteLOVELY! Will be watching for the creations out of Lovely!
ReplyDeleteSandy, via Moda's site I've stumbled onto your blog. I have been a fan forever! Your blog: layout, user-friendliness, personal bits - are all just delightful. Best of luck with Lovely when it debuts, and Happy Quilting! Thank you for blessing so many with your creativity & inspiration.
ReplyDeleteI can hear the roar of a UPS "package car" from blocks away. That, and not the driver, makes my heart beat faster. When I was younger it was the driver, but now it is the engine. Kinda sad. Karmen
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fabric and such a huge task. Good Luck
ReplyDeleteThat is lovely! Good luck. I appreciate all the work you do!
ReplyDeleteOh my word!!!! You better not stop to read blog posts!!! That machine will be smokin'!! Good Luck!! Lovely is really lovely!! Looks like a great spring line - can't wait!
ReplyDeleteWell it seems like you have enough volunteers. :) Bright beautiful fabric. I am working on a quilt now that is made mostly from fabrics you designed. Thanks for all the great lines of fabric you have designed.
ReplyDeleteHi Sandy, I am SO EXCITED! Fabric.com has Tranquility on sale for $3.95 a yard! Ages ago I made a quilt top - 9 patches on point - using Tranquility charm packs. It came out so nicely I wanted to put a nice backing on it. Now with the sale I was able to buy 6 yards of the Leaves in Bark so I can finally finish my quilt. I am going to keep this one, I like it so much. THANK YOU for such great designs. As the song says, "You make me so - so very happy!"
ReplyDeleteI'll bet her feels (personally) like Santa too... getting to deliver all those fun boxes! Plus..
ReplyDeletehe gets paid for it!!!!! LoL
What's not to Like!
Good Luck with all the cutting/sewing/stressing....
Oooooh! Those look beautiful.
ReplyDeleteMuch better than Santa in my opinion. That fabric is gorgeous!
ReplyDelete"Lovely" certainly lives up to its name!
ReplyDeleteAmanda
