With a trade show just days away, one Drapery Row client needed to correct a major workroom snafu and needed several yards of Barrow's interlocking vine woven, Darlington Topaz. An anxious voice hurriedly proclaimed, "I need it... yesterday."
I have to admit, I wasn't so sure that I could get it done- even though I have performed miracles in the past. It was early Friday afternoon- the fabric had to arrive in a rural town in the midst of the Missouri Ozarks by Saturday. As of 2:30 pm we didn't even have the yardage figure sorted- and I was swapping analyzing heavily rasterized .jpegs to make sure that we had the right pattern and colorway.
Luckily, my hunch was correct, and I was able to confirm that we had the right piece and the client locked in her yardage. The UPS truck pulled in just as the final strip of tape made its way around the top of the package.
Just another day at the office.
