Man, that has to be so frustrating about the the shipping mix-ups!! There comes a point when you have to wonder if there's something more to what's going on and there's an actual reason for what's happening, eh?

Hopefully there are no re-directions and you get the new part ASAP. And having no Interet, that's even more miserable. Seems like September has not been your month. Hope all is lined out now and you can have fun with your new dies and EQ8 designs.

Wow, twice in a row! and you can't even blame one distribution center since it happened in two different cities. I hope you soon have, or already have, your part in hand. Charlotte is a big city, I'm surprised you had such issues, or that there isn't a dealer there who could help. I suppose they don't carry all that many parts, though.Susan https://www.blogger.com/profile/09159163720029661287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816121512164080677.post-42138998895583419482019-09-26T17:20:39.508-04:002019-09-26T17:20:39.508-04:00It is gorgeous!

I hope the new part fixes the problem and your machine is up and running soon. I have that same Accuquilt package, and will admit I haven't even opened the cube box! You idea to create a block library in EQ is pure genius and now I have a new item on my quilty To Do list. LOL I love your scrappy quilt and look forward to seeing it in fabric soon. ;)Beth @ Cooking Up Quiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08786023962755107152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816121512164080677.post-74837507576071213432019-09-24T17:19:01.590-04:002019-09-24T17:19:01.590-04:00Glad your back online.

But boy, did I accomplish a lot while I waited, at least during the daylight hours. I don’t understand what’s going on with the mail service. Try to get answers! Won’t happen. Hope you don’t have to wait much longer. Have fun with your new Accuquilt!KaHollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02528677007819875856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816121512164080677.post-70303980931789869482019-09-24T15:38:20.391-04:002019-09-24T15:38:20.391-04:00Where there's a will there's a way - I enj...Where there's a will there's a way - I enjoyed your 'virtual' quilting!laura bruno lillyhttp://www.laurabrunolilly.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816121512164080677.post-52638004869789150242019-09-24T13:43:22.090-04:002019-09-24T13:43:22.090-04:00Hi Rebecca!

It's scary how dependent we've become on it for just about everything. Love the EQ8 design. WOWEE to those parts traveling about the US. From Charlotte to Las Vegas?!! HAHA - Flat Stanley . . . love that picture. WOWEE again - what a great idea about creating your new library of blocks. I wonder why there isn't such a library already designed and that you could purchase. I think I am making your EQ8 in my beehive group with a block called Ripples. Hmm, I'll have to check this out further. I hope your part arrives soon! ~smile~ RoseanneRoseannehttp://homesewnbyus.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816121512164080677.post-73555266983241913612019-09-24T12:29:35.533-04:002019-09-24T12:29:35.533-04:00I can so relate to USPS horror stories!

In that case, even the shipper professed having had many problems when packages were routed through a particular hub near to them and kept a documentation file recording them. That design is really pretty and I love that it's based on the Shaded Four Patch/Cat's Cradle block. For a quilter, making up designs that might not actually get constructed is about stretching your mind in the abstract -- the way a runner stretches their mucles before a run. Got to prime the pump! I really have to get on board and learn how to use EQ8. I missed watching the Sampler quilt webinar live yesterday -- hope I can still access it today. Also hope Accuquilt and EQ hear you and make that collaboration happen!Vivianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17845920248231910491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816121512164080677.post-44050005157800409012019-09-24T11:00:24.513-04:002019-09-24T11:00:24.513-04:00USPS seems to think your longarm parts need an all...USPS seems to think your longarm parts need an all-American vacation :-)<br />Designing on EQ8 can be addicting. It gives a quilting high. I have so many EQ versions of quilts that may never make it to fabric. <br />Love your scrap quilt design.

I am the same way - hate unnecessary seams but your idea of making it scrappier is genius and so much richer and colorful. Love your colorful pattern :-)<br />You are in the middle of a major communication snafus.

I have had several instances very similar to what you're experiencing - are they jealous of quilters? I had one order that somehow was sent to Kalamazoo, Michigan and then on to Detroit.. I live right between them! Why did they not at least drop the package off in Lansing??... can get VERY frustrating especially when you want/need said package YESTERDAY/NOW/ASAP!<br />Hope your machine part arrives SOON!! :)Carol R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05346526955385686775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816121512164080677.post-2376900794125994732019-09-24T08:41:56.614-04:002019-09-24T08:41:56.614-04:00Oh man!

I had an issue like this a couple weeks ago but I think it was the fault of the shipper -- they created a tracking number and label for my order, but it NEVER shipped! Eventually they cancelled the original order and shipped a new one.<br /><br />I really like your design for the quilt -- I recently got the same starter bundle from Accuquilt and I am having so much fun cutting my scraps for different projects!Alison V.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01083271975458964740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816121512164080677.post-4556290723672853122019-09-24T08:04:08.509-04:002019-09-24T08:04:08.509-04:00What did we ever do before we had internet access?...What did we ever do before we had internet access? A much quieter life! Unless you count all those phone calls you had to make to keep on top of things. And all the manual math and drawing to design a quilt. <br /><br />What a computer literate person you are! With only one block you change and manipulate colors and come up with such creative alternatives. Go! You! <br /><br />I do hope your touring encoder finds its way back to you quickly. I wonder what the problem is with packages coming out of Iowa? Keep us posted.
