Mr Brown Has Been Found!

We received a tip that Mr. Brown had been spotted in a certain parking lot in town around about 10:00 in the morning. Sooo we went under cover.


As under cover as one can be in a bright blue Astro van.

Armed with only with a seam ripper



Sure enough the brown truck and Mr. Brown did appear around 10:00.

We jumped out of the van and demanded my packages.

He said he didn't think he had any of my packages.


I flashed my seam ripper and sure enough he fumble around


and found a brown package with a Moda label.


I told him there were two packages.


More fumbling.


And sure enough he came up with package number 2.


He handed over both packages without incident.


We loaded the packages in the Astro and made a quick get away.


As quick as you can get away in an old Astro van.


Now that I have fabric I am holding my seamstresses hostage...with my seam ripper.


Many projects need to be completed in the short 3 weeks before market.



Who knew the pressure of market could lead to a life of crime.


Wishing you a seam ripper free day.

From my heart,

Sandy

    Way to go! Who knew the varied uses of the seam ripper! Somehow though, Sandy the Ripper just doesn't sound as daunting as Jack!

    We love it when the brown truck comes up our lane to deliver a package. Thankfully though we never have a dreaded deadline to keep with what has been delivered. Love your fabric and your designs!

    Such pressure! Glad to hear Mr. Brown came through for you!

    Kate Spain's post for today was quite entertaining too.

    Can't wait to see what goodies you create for market.

    How could he miss the Moda love? My UPS man knows that the blue & white tape boxes are high priority. (Thank goodness his wife is a quilter.) No sneak peaks?
