I don't put "quilt" on the label; I write fabric or some other label on the box to prevent (hopefully) thieves from stealing. Also, don't have it delivered to the home; pick it up at the PO. Some people follow UPS or FEDX trucks around and steal what they leave on our doorsteps.

Same thing happened to me last Christmas. I'd made a Boston Red Sox WINNER quilt for my grandson. Got the label back - that was all. Someone had a nice Christmas! I remade it only the 2nd time around the fabric was on sale.

I send packages to my daughter in Bulgaria, which in over 6yrs has ever cost me lies than $120, when she gets a notice saying there is a package due for delivery sometime soon, she has went to their excuse for a Post Office to pick it up. They always. Tell her that for 50 cents to a $ they will look for it!! Can you just imagine! She turns them down & within a couple of days she has her package delivered.
