I'm really not liking you too much there, James Kirk…if that's even your REAL name?

Matt, I am sensing you are upset.

I am willing to hold space for you even though you may not like me. Frustration sounds like a completely normal and reasonable emotional response. I am not an expert in you, so this may not relate. I have noticed that my anger stems from fear; that frustration stems from a discomfort with change and uncertainty. I find that if I try to soften to that fear, my anger dissipates… and if I ignore my critical mind and impose an optimistic mindset, my frustrations likewise ebb.

I wish you luck in your process.

James Kirk,
So what are you saying….just go with the flow and leave Tim alone to finish my quilt? That's scary…no telling when (or IF) i'll ever get it then…..LOL. Oh no, James…the game is not over….

Travis,

I'm completely jealous that your quilt arrived today :)

I keep looking for the delivery truck everyday for mine…

If it makes you feel better, I got them seconds before I had to run out of the door so I only had a moment to fondle them. :)

The orange and black is a wicked combo.

Sorry if this is a dumb question – they are labeled quilts but look like sleeping bags. Are you supposed to sleep under them like a blanket/quilt or have them wrap around you like a sleeping bag?

Yes,

You lay under it and it wraps around you, but it doesn't close around you like a sleeping bag.

I got my quilt last Saturday. Unfortunately I’ve only had a few minutes to fondle it and have not had the chance to get it on a scale yet. I can say that I’m definitely pleased. As for the fabric flaw on my olive green exterior, I would have thought it was intentionally placed there for cosmetics. Great work Tim. Being a cheapskate and researching the death out of quilts, this could not have been a better purchase. No regrets.

David, don't feel bad. I got my shipping confirmation last friday and I had scheduled an overnighter on saturday. So I got to go out knowing my new quilt was in the mail. Moreover, the whole time, I was talking with my wife during the trip on how we were going to order some quilts soon. Little did she know that I had already ordered them 5 weeks prior! Boy, did I BS a lot that trip, and boy was she surprised the following Monday!

Man I've been resisting the urge to e-mail Tim over and over again and ask "is it ready yet?!?!?!", haha. I'm so pumped. I'm 1 month in, so I figure I'm pretty close to getting shipped if you guys just got your confirmation. Hopefully next week sometime…fingers crossed.

I'm excited!

"Man I've been resisting the urge to e-mail Tim over and over again and ask "is it ready yet?!?!?!"

Ha! I broke down and asked him a day or two ago. I ordered about mid Feb. and have another two weeks or so. So that will put me around the 5 week mark as well.

I got a package today, but the name on it was "Matthew Perry." So I threw it away.

You don't think it could have been……… naw, couldn't be……..could it?

We are shipping quilts from the first days of feb right now. Should be 8-10 more shipped by tues. Matt yours is either in that group or the next one that will ship by next weekend, I organized them all by order date the other day trying to keep the wait times fair and just for fun threw yours to the bottom. Didn't think you'd mind. Your order was on the 8th I believe and we should be shipping quilts for sure this week from that time period. One of my stuffers is planning to up his hrs and that will help a lot. We have over 20 quilts ready to be stuffed right now. But only enough staff to do 10 a week, it's hard to have everyone part time as I have to work around their "real" jobs. We are moving in the right direction to open a shop and have a more stable work force but we are really only 5 months into this so it won't happen over night. trying hard to offer low cost, light weight, high quality gear in a timely manor. So right now it is pretty obvious which one I need to work on the most.

I know it's not much consolation, but the quilts are worth the long wait. Hang in there!

Received my 2 Revelation X quilts two days ago!! They are great, completely worth the wait and the price. I am however having trouble figuring out the shock cord straps and how to secure them. One quilt came with 3 lengths of shock cord with a cord lock on one end and a small loop on the other end, the second quilt has the three lengths of shock cord but each piece has 2 cord lock with one each end and not the loop. Was this a mistake? Any advice on how use the shock cord to attach the two sides of the quilt together would be much appreciated, Thanks!

We have some of each. Most of our quilts are shipping with 3 cords each with 2 cord locks. There are still some cords floating around with on lock and one loop. They basically work the same. The cord lock goes through a loop on the quilt like a button and let's you adjust tension. If your cord has a loop just girth hitch it to one side of the quilt to keep it attached and adjust the other side as described above.

PS-
Seriously, though, i hope i speak for everyone when i say that we don't mind waiting for your quality, made in America quilts! If it means a longer wait time for your business to be successful and for you to make an outstanding product, i'll gladly wait as long as it takes!
