Still moving slowly...
Haven't been really productive lately because, well, I guess I have two small kids!! I have been working on a few swap blocks a night, and some DJ sashing...but they are pretty boring to show!This is a quilt I did a few years back, just crazy piecing it onto foundation (found out the crumb block or mile a minute block terminology later!)...did 9 crazy blocks sewed them together, then put the borders on and then embroidered along some of the seams...
This one was in a local exhibition in a nearby town library...I'm famous in Carrick on Suir, Co. Tipperary...LOL...NOT!!!!
My birthday is coming up in a few weeks and mom has promised me a gift certificate from an online shop. A fellow Stashbuster member gave me a great shop that she uses http://www.quiltersquarter.com and I think this one is it...so many items, and good prices for overseas.
But just on the off chance, anyone else have a favorite shop for online ordering? Evelyn, if you see this, what one do you use for sending to you over in Austria??

not sure if they do great on overseas shipping, but, equilter.com has always been one of my top online favorites. also brightandhappyfabrics.com Mostly I am lucky to be able to shop in person when I "need" to :-)
I'd also recommend Lisa over at www.quiltersparadiseonline.com.
love your crazy quilt, you did a good job of hiding the squares, it all blends together so well.
Happy early birthday!
For great prices nothing beats www.zandsfabrics.com. It's done by two Amish quilt shops. Their service is fantastic! I hope they will ship overseas for you. Their shipping is high if you buy only a little, but very comparable if you buy quite a bit.
Not sure about the shipping but I love bighornquilts.com

Do you have anyone in the US you can have your orders shipped to? I usually order from about 5 different shops at a time, have it all sent to my sister in the US and then she puts it all into 1 box and sends it to me. It is cheaper than paying international shipping from many sources, especially if you are just ordering - say - a rotary cutter! The only trouble is if something is on back-order and arrives later than when the box was shipped - then she just saves it for the next box. She sent me 2 boxes this winter, which was GREAT! I send her a US check for the postage once she lets me know the amount.
Not sure if this is of a help to you or not, but that is what I do. Next year, I am going to mail my own big box - before I leave! My poor sister had 1 BIG box to ship when she mailed me over 30 yards!
