Guess What's In The Box?

 

Here's a funny story [at least to us it was].

Wilson ordered a few plants for our back yard and we

were expecting them any day.  When the dogs

started to bark I noticed a Fed-X truck parked in our

drive and saw he left a big box.  I called Wilson and

said come get your box it's your plants.

He carried the box to the back porch and I followed

him with a pair of scissors so we could set 

them on the porch until planting time.

Much to our surprise when we opened the box it was full 

fabric on bolts!  Scott did a video this past week of one of the 

warehouses and he showed what they do with fabric that doesn't meet

the full bolt requirements that stores order.  

Those bolts that don't meet requirements are called 

short bolts.  Those short bolts get sold to discount

places that don't want an entire perfect collection

of a line.  {Sorta like the stores we visit in Lancaster.]

I did a quick calculation of the yardage marked

on the end of each bolt and it was

about 66 yards of fabric [give or take].

So I figured I received about $726 worth of fabric at 

around $11/yard.  Some fabric is priced over $12/yard

which I find crazy.

What a nice surprise needless to say ... so I'm

heading back to my sewing room ... pronto!

Have A Happy Mother's Day
