So I ordered some fabric from
Missouri Star Quilt Company. Like most companies, they send emails to confirm the order, and then let you know they've shipped the order. This is their shipping notification:
"Thanks for your order at the Missouri Star Quilt Company!
We just want to let you know that your quilting supplies have been
meticulously gathered, placed on a red velvet pillow, and delicately escorted by
25 of our finest employees to our shipping department.
Our master shipper has dutifully performed his craft, lovingly packing
your order in the finest materials known to man.
Our team gathered to give your package the proper send-off it deserved.
Tears of joy were shed, speeches were given, and there was even a farewell cake.
Following the festivities, the whole group, led by our local high school
marching band playing the song Leaving on a Jet Plane, ushered your order
through downtown Hamilton, Missouri. No, we don't own a Jet Plane, but your
package was placed in the care of a roguishly handsome man who is riding in a
majestic horse-drawn carriage which is on its way to your home as you read this.
Although the products you've ordered will be sorely missed here at MSQC,
we are overjoyed that they have found a good home. Take care of them, treasure
them, and when you make something beautiful with them, make sure you share it
with us on
facebook /
twitter or just send us an email, we love to see what you
make!."
How cute is that?! Made me laugh out loud!
Cheers!
So I made this quilt using Birdie by Me and My Sister for Moda. I followed the pattern from this book, Scrap Basket Sensations by Kim Brackett. I used a layer cake and was able to use the leftover pieces for the binding. For the backing, I used a flannel print that says, "I love Mommy and Daddy". 
This was a pretty simple quilt and it went together very quickly. Now I need to ship it off!
