HAPPY HOLIDAYS from The Hometown Quilter!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3231467426281529600.post-92065625400100279702013-11-19T18:16:00.000-05:002013-11-19T20:15:06.828-05:00DisappointedHave you ever had a situation where you have done everything you could for someone only to find there is no pleasing them? I had a situation this week with a customer from Russia, she placed an order and it has been 4 weeks, a long time I agree. The problem is when items are shipped out of the country the customer is at the mercy of their country's custom department. I have spoke with the Postal Service as well as Paypal both telling me to wait 20 more days due to this being an international order.<br>
<br>
For orders to Russia it can take 4 to 6 weeks, after many emails and trying to do everything I could for this customer I had to finally just refund the money. It is disappointing because the items were sent in good faith and will probably arrive any day.<br>
<br>
I received an email today from her threatening to blog about this. That is the problem with blogs sometimes, they can be used as a weapon. I write about this because I now find it necessary to stop orders to this country given the relationship we have as a country with this country.<br>
<br>
It is our policy to go the extra mile for our customers and we do everything in our power to help them. It is disappointing because there are some people that you cannot please no matter what you do. The cost of doing business I guess.<br>
<br>
Tomorrow is a new day and we will greet it with a smile as we always do! :D<br>

<br />
I have decided that a little Summer Fun is in order! So I will be using Deb Strains Summer Fun line for this one? I have half of the cutting done, need to get it all cut for this Friday. <br />
<br />
I will be sewing this little pretty at a Girls Night Out this Friday. I can't wait they are always fun.<br />
<br />
Have you picked out what you will be using yet?<br />
<br />
Happy Sewing,<br />

This was so much fun, I am so thankful to Sinta and Sherri for hosting this again this year. I have always wanted to but never seamed to have the time. So I have my first one under my belt and ready for more. This may be my new obsession.<br />
<br />
I have had the Charm Packs I used ( Nell's Flower Shop ) for a very long time. I have always loved this fabric and decided this was the perfect project for the fabric. I just love how it turned out. <br />
<br />
Does anyone else do that, you get a fabric and then you just can't use it until the right project comes along?<br />
<br />
I have been admiring all of the ones so far and they are all beautiful, I can't wait to find out what the next one will be!<br />
<br />
Happy Quilting,<br />

<br />
Have any of you made a Schnibbles pattern? They are the cutest little quilts by Carrie Nelson of Miss Rosie's Quilt Co. I have not had the time for these in the past but the time is now. There is a year long of these little pretties starting this month. I am in how about you? I'm very excited! I have just the fabric, vintage Moda called Nell's Flower Shop. I love this fabric and I think it is perfectly seasoned for a project :D<br />

One of the reasons why I love fall, all of the goodies and the apples. Have you tried a newer apple called Honey Crisp? A woman I work with introduced me to these apples and they are the best apple, my favorite. They are a bit pricey due to being new and all, but oh are they worth it.<br /><br />My husband is a fan of the McIntosh so a bag of those came home as well as donuts. If you are from the Genesee County area of Michigan there is a wonderful Craft Show being held at the Wolcott Apple Orchard in Mt. Morris MI. If you are in the area stop in for some fall fun, we will be there with a booth selling candy and fabric coasters (my new addiction). Hopefully we will see you there, if not go find some Honey Crisp Apples you will not be sorry (mmmm good)! </div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3231467426281529600.post-13010960039447750262010-09-20T18:29:00.001-04:002010-09-20T18:36:33.381-04:00Only 10 more days!Hi everyone, there are only 10 more days to participate in the Autumn Celebration Treasure Hunt, as well as take advantage of the 10% off sale at www.thehometownquilter.com.

I am a Fall and Winter person but I have to say that I am glad the weather is warming up and I can break out the old Birkenstocks. If you have never tried a pair of these shoes or sandals on you should they are dreamy.<br /><br />Well I have to go now, hubby likes Rice Krispie Treats.

I am by no means a computer savy person. I am lucky enough to have a great web girl who takes care of our store, did I mention I am from The Hometown Quilter? Well anyway if you know anyone who needs a webmaster Jen is your girl from her company called The Old Drawin' Board! We would have never been able to open our store without her. For those who know me they know that computers are not my thing, and of course I thought I can do this ( ha ha ha) what a joke. Three months went by many frustrating nights and many tears later I stumbled on Jen and her company and it was like magic. <br /><br />It is snowing this evening, woohoo! I love the fall and winter, it is such a shame we have not had alot of snow especially for Michigan. There is nothing better than a Snow Day!<br /><br />Well I have to go for now, it is late and it took me the better half of the evening to start this blog ; ). Goodnight and sweet dreams to all.
