There's always people needing "the other end" of something!<br /><br />Also, with all the trouble you've had getting the Essential Triangle tool, have you considered - next time you want to use a specific tool - of having it made or manufactured rather than purchasing from a particular company? <br /><br />Years ago, we had a wonderful man and woman in our quilting guild who made acrylic templates. They were wonderful and had all the markings on them. And, if we wanted or needed a specialty template, he would make it for us. Sadly, the gentleman passed away so we lost a great source for templates.<br />Ladydukeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14924790690799735080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-74686932263819935302016-10-12T12:15:56.323-04:002016-10-12T12:15:56.323-04:00What - no package in the mail today?

Oh - maybe attack my bucket list of previously coveted quilts to make in the 3 books of yours I already have!<br /><br />Seriously, it IS just quilts we are talking about and I guarantee you we quilters all have enough projects in house to keep us busy until your NEXT book comes out. <br /><br />Love Idaho Squarepants - I might just try to make a few squares while I am figuring out which of my projects have the most dust on them and need working on.<br /><br />Have a wonderful day - you sure deserve it.

Most of us understand and support you. For those that don't, try putting yourselves in Bonnie's shoes. She shares so much of herself. Let's help her celebrate her success on this book and ruler. Everyone seems to want one, me included. Way to go Bonnie, but please don't hurt yourself by overworking. Many of us are anxiously awaiting the release of the next mystery. We love you for all you bring to us.

No one is going to die or suffer damage because they don't receive their new book or ruler in the next few days. Do what you can and take some time to take care of you. You won't be able to pack orders or teach (or anything else) if you make yourself sick.

They always seem to lose their mates!!! It rather looks like it may be time to find a part-time employee to help you get all your orders out...someone you can call in when you have huge trolleys of orders to get out? You are always going, going, going with designing patterns, making quilts, quilting, teaching, travel, trunk shows, writing books, designing rulers and tools, shipping orders, writing your blog...it doesn't seem as though you get to spend enough time on yourself! Don't burn that candle at both ends as well as in the middle - you are too important to too many people to become a melted puddle!!!

However, I read your posts and am totally mystified by your US customers! Their insistence on bothering you about when they get the Triangle tool this week or next week seems crazy to me. Will the world come to an end if it's a few days later than they would have liked? Personally I am more concerned about Donald Trump! Take time for yourself. Posting can wait, Quilt Cam can wait. What is important is that you take time to smell the roses! And vote th right way...
