threadbear threadbear home of the civil war bride thursday 18 may 2017 see you on line welcome to our final blog post what fun we ve had bringing you news from threadbear showing you all our latest fabrics and sharing hundreds of show and tell quilts from our talented customers and group members of course we ve always known that sammy is the real star of the blog thanks to so many of you who have told us how much you enjoy the weekly photos of him we know of more than one quilting husband who checks the blog every week to see what sam s been up to but it s not goodbye because threadbear will continue on instagram and on facebook and doubtless sam will make an appearance there on a personal note i want to thank corliss for the opportunities guidance support and friendship she has given me i have been so blessed to come to work each day to the most supportive inclusive and inspiring workplace i have ever known there have been more wonderful customers than not some really special and lasting friendships formed and so many fabulous memories it s been a tonne of hard work an absolute joy and a whole lot of laughs so for this last blog post we thought we d share with you what we fondly call the list the list came about only a couple of years ago as a way of capturing some of the more unusual strange amusing and outright hilarious requests or comments we have heard across threadbear s counter over the years to fully appreciate the list you need to visualize those photos we ve shared on the blog of the shop with shelves and shelves of fabric the walls lined with quilts quilt patterns and books and bundles of fabric all around please also bear in mind the following threadbear is a patchwork and quilting shop we sell fabric the list is a true and factual document we sell fabric without further ado we give you the list first some of the unusual requests from customers hello i d like to buy some puppet strings do you sell hand made bellows do you have any of that decorative trim sort of stuff where do you keep the light globes do you have any beading wire do you sell the material to make steel knives do you sell leather strapping leather needles cow hides hi where are your musical instruments i d like some fabric with cow pats on it i ve come to buy an apron i need 2 metres of shade cloth hello i m looking for small pottery emulsion bottles do you sell furniture wax i for my bow and arrow seriously we ve also heard some funny descriptions of fabric i want xmas fabric with silver for my longitudinal hexacons i love reproductive fabric can you show me the persie broderie fabrics i need some genuine frog fabric what s a genuine frog we ask it s a genuine frog not a mickey mouse frog i want a pink that would be raspberry if it wasn t pink no really seriously then there have been some amusing descriptions of our quilts customer looking at the civil war bride quilt says hmmm yes that civil war bride no wonder she never married she s so ugly we re making civil war bride next we re going to make that other one that carpet thingamy aka caswell quilt customer looking at the caswell quilt tells husband it s one of those quilt as you go williamy morrisy panel thingys customer looking at letters from belton grange oh it s so dull and drab and boring and the swan looks funny and the tree is weird nice quilt though what s a spoodle to do then there have been the completely random requests a man came into the shop carrying 4 autumn leaves walked straight up to the counter and said could i have a rubber band to put around my autumn leaves please we obliged and he left a woman rushed up to the counter asking do you have the clips that attach your fascinator to your head and finally my personal favourite a man comes in the door walks past rows and rows of fabric comes to the counter and states i m here for my dental appointment true story yes folks it s all true we couldn t make it up if we tried thanks for checking in with
