After 224 (100%) feedback, and 334 sales, I’m shut down. I can’t even have an account now, even to buy. They are turned me off on Tuesday completely but I had a chance to save off my customer data.

Reason? Good Question. The standard form letter cited no reason, just that they were evicting me. Since I can’t use the forums or Storque so I’m not sure what they can find to complain about me with, other than I work for Artfire and exist.

I cant say I’m surprised. I’ve been expecting this since September when I joined on at Artfire and announced it here on my blog, so this is just the other shoe dropping. I’ve more or less stayed on out of pure spite.

You can of course find me on Artfire for all your pincushiony needs.

This is the same size as my Girly Tomatos and pumpkins. 3.5″ or so wide, and is my only design that I have in threes sizes. (I have it as a bottlecap too!)

Just made a batch of these up in 7 colors, wanted to share! You can of course order these up in any colors you like, These are headed to Kunin for a trade show.

Anyway – After teaching a class at a local quilting club, I was talking to some friends who own a sewing supply company that does mail order about how they carried some of the Kunin Rainbow felt line of cut 9×12 squares, but it was they didn’t have them all. I said that only one place i could find carried all the colors and they only sold 24 packs and charged a ton for shipping.

My friends called me back today, they decided to carry them all 45 shades, the ENTIRE line, and even reduced shipping for felt orders since they don’t weigh anything! SO if you were holding of ordering online because all there was was massive quantities, now you can go nuts!

They sell two dozen colors in 24 sheet (min) packs, but have the ENTIRE line, all 45 Kunin brand colors in 12 sheet (min) half-packs, including the new 2008 colors. The minimum on the entire line is 12 sheets per color, so you can load up but not get to much in all those colors you can’t get! And shipping is $6!

They are great people and are taking a chance on this, since they heard my mention of people looking for it.

They are called SANE, and tell them I sent you! (I do not get a thing from it, other than not looking like a idiot for talking them into ordering a bunch of felt. They’d just like to know who told who.)

I’m growing more and more disenchanted with Etsy, and some recent questionable decisions or closures with other storekeepers and a serious lack of useful upgrades. And while I have no plans to leave Etsy right now, you never know what Etsy’s plans are for me so it’s good to have a backup as I could wake up and my store be gone.

I will probably eventually move my store to my own site, but for now anyway I have two.
