But before I sign off and get dressed and start my Stay-At-Home Saturday I do want to show you something fun.
Missouri Star Quilt Company's Flat Chuck*. MSQC's marketing person is a genius. Sometime back this cute little paper duck started popping up on the MSQC Facebook site. People were randomly receiving these as part of their order.
Originally I didn't pay too much attention. I try not to collect. If I start, I have to have them ALL! So, it's best not to start.
In the mean time Chuck has become SOMETHING. People were posting pictures of Chuck in the sewing studio, watching TV, sitting front-and-center on the family RV dash taking a road trip. He was becoming the Quilter's version of Flat Stanley.
And, while I found it amusing I still was not tempted to own one of my very own.
And then IT HAPPENED! I had ordered a pattern** from MSQC and a few days later I ordered some batting as part of the
Daily Deal (50% off). That I might receive a Flat Chuck had not even occurred to me.
And What To My Wondering Eyes Did Appear? Flat Chuck! Not one, but TWO!
It was so exciting! Remember, these are randomly added to your order, so you never know if you'll get one.
The bug has bitten me and now I check the MSQC's Daily Deal every day to see if I absolutely NEED that deal
(secretly hoping for an added surprise in the box should I decide to order.)
I told you...MSQC's marketing person is a GENIUS! She/he deserves a raise!
You'll be happy to know I am keeping my wits about me and not ordering anything I don't truly need (wink, wink.)
*Flat Chuck is not a special Ukulele strum. HERE
**This is the pattern I ordered. Brightly by Cluck Cluck Sew. It says it is Fat Quarter Friendly and I have two FQ bundles that need a pattern: Barbie and Spooky and Witchy.
