I’m going to share with you the stupid thing I did even if it means you all say what a dummy! Yes, I am a dummy, but a funny one! One of the little perks designers get when the sell their patterns to distributors is the ability to purchase things wholesale. It’s a wonderful little perk and it kind of makes up for the discount we have to give.
Off I go to order charm packs wholesale. Thought I would start with just a few, so I ordered 3 charm packs thinking this should be enough to make a little quilt. You should have seen my face when they arrived! I thought I was getting what you see in front of the photo below, and instead I got the leaning towers of charm packs! 75 charm packs in all! I mean really, when I think about it I guess I should have realized these companies speak another language than we do, but who knew that 3 doesn’t mean 3? Next time I’ll read the fine print that says “bundles”.
Now guess where you can find these charm packs for sale? They are on my son’s web site! If everyone of you bought just one he would be rich and the towers would be gone. I’m so glad these aren’t Jelly Rolls! http://www.crafts4me.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=c&Category_Code=fabric
Coming out of lurkdom to say that’s too funny Anne. Sorry to be laughing at your expense but you’ve made my day.
LOL Anne, you are so cute. I can imagine your face when the package arrived LOL
ROFLOL. Sounds like something I would do! More is not always better! Thanks for the smile this morning!
Sorry, Anne, but I just had to laugh too. I made a mistake like that at work once and had enough “While You Were Out” phone message pads to last a year!
LOL!!! That fine print will get us every time!!! It could have been worse…the bundles could of been a gross! Have a great day.
Oh, that’s too funny, Anne!
OMG. I did that once when ordering reams of colored paper for our office. I thought I was ordering 6 reams of green, 6 reams of blue, etc. When a hundred boxes of paper was delivered to our tiny office copy room I nearly had a heart attack. It took a bit to get that straightened out. At least the vender was willing to take it back!
WHAT? You did it again? Maybe you need to tell all the nice people that this isn’t the FIRST time…. LOL
This is the first time! These are the same ones the other Anne saw in Oregon. I’m just now confessing up to it, plus those packages are taking up precious fabric space so they have to be sold. LOL!
Thank you soooooo much to those of you who are helping me out and purchasing the charm packs!
Any shops who are laughing at me, I don’t blame you!
Oops, so sorry!
I am sorry to finally be commenting on your blog at a time like this, but I just had to laugh when I read your post! I definitely would have done the same thing!! That’s what is meant by “live and learn”, right?
I do enjoy your blog so much – you are a very talented lady!
Opps! But at least it’s not a bad thing!!!! Your could make lot’s of baby quilts!

That is so funny Anne! Thank you very much for the good laugh.
