    Don’t see how he does it

    Just ordered my second TQ and third UQ from Lost Biker. A couple of years ago I DIY’ed a set and for the time and aggravation it took me, I don’t see how Dave can produce such a fine quality product so inexpensively.

    I really like Dave's work and my buddy (whom I finished a UQ up for) loves it!

    I'm the proud owner of one of his 3/4 UQ shells. Courtesy of the HHHFH raffle, and have to agree 110%.

    Very nice work.

    I'd advise everyone to take advantage of the outstanding pricing available from all our vendors. Times will change and prices always eventually go up. Buy now and avoid the rush

    Thanks Dave

    So true...I price out the DIY cost and I just can't believe our cottage venders can offer such professional products at such a low price. Super great value for us!

    Thanks for the kind words and reviews, guys! I really don't know what else to say - just, thank you all!
    I got in a fight one time with a really big guy, and he said, "I'm going to mop the floor with your face." I said, "You'll be sorry." He said, "Oh, yeah? Why?" I said, "Well, you won't be able to get into the corners very well."

    He really does great work--and it is just another option out there for the DIY crowd that doesnt want to build a quilt from scratch------and a very origional idea I might add!
    FYI: If you want to know what type a certain bear is, sneak up behind it and kick it. Then,
    run like crazy and climb up a tree. If the bear climbs the tree and eats you, it's a black
    bear. If the bear just pushes the tree over and eats you, it's a grizzly bear : )


    Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me, either, just leave me alone.

    It's odd how this post came around on the same day that the above mentioned order showed up in the mail box. Time to break out the old dowm transfer giz-mo.

    Oh so true! I'm in the middle of making a 20* down TQ from scratch, and it IS a huge aggravation! A ready-made shell from lostbiker would have saved me a lot of time and effort. It would have increased the total cost of my TQ by maybe 40 bucks but it would have been well worth it! Well, it's too late for lamentations and I must press on! I have the consolation that if I screw-up badly, I will suck it up, absorb the sunk cost of materials, get a shell from lostbiker, and will be all the richer (poorer money-wise) for the experience.

    I've been hanging out to hear from Te-Wa who have been 5 weeks and still no word on when a UQ I ordered from them will be shipped. Much longer and I might cancel and order one from Lost Biker. Sounds like he's got his act together.
