It’s funny how things work sometimes. I just happened to park in front of the liquor store, where the clerk could look directly at my car. I have a front license plate that says “I love quilting”.
The conversation went like this.
Him- are you a quilter?
Me- yes
Him- have you ever made a crown royal quilt?
Me- not yet, but my son is collecting the bags for one.
Him- do you want some bags?
Me- sure.
Him- hold on and I’ll get you some. (he then gets a paper sack from under the counter and opens it. Sits it on the end of the counter and waits on the customer that walks up.)
Him- I’ll have to get them out of my truck. I’ll be right back. (There is no one in the store, so he goes out to his truck and I stood outside the door.)
After what seemed like forever…..he came around the corner carrying the paper sack.
I then realized ‘why’ it took him so long!
Boy did I hit the jackpot!!! I got home and counted 117 Crown Royal bags!! Holy cow! Now I need to decide on a pattern…….

Have you ever made a Crown Royal quilt?

How curious! Did he say why he’d been hanging on to all those bags?

Peggi, He said he’d heard of people making quilts from the bags, but he’s never seen one. He wants to see mine when I get it made. I guess he was just waiting to find a quilter and I just happened to be the one. 🙂

Oh my gosh, you have to go to Flickr and search on crown royal quilts. There are a TON. I have a friend who is collecting and has already told me that I’m hired for the job.
