Yeah you can come over for the patchwork once I get it in the mail.
Which will be probably by evening... 3 hours from now.
How it works is that your Nook store has a Catalog machine that you can order any item that you had it in your inventory at any point! So essentially just picking up an item and dropping it at a friends is "cataloging" an item. So you can go back to your town and order it and get it in the mail. Only issue is that the mail system is tiny and takes a while. It'll arrive at 9 am and at 5pm, with 10 spaces available each. You need to clean out your letter box too by tossing the mail outside. If your mailbox was full, you'll miss your shipment by however many spaces you had it taken up by. Say you ordered 10 items, and you mailbox was full by 6 letters in it. You won't get the last 6 you've ordered. You'll get it the next time or the next day.
