Welcome back elisabrat. Yeah we keep waiting for the BIG Storm to hit So. CA. Right now it is sunny. I have jury duty today. Here in Orange Co the rule is......you go to the place in the city they have designated. You sit all day and wait to see if you get in on a jury. If not you go home and that is it for a few years until you get called up again. I know every county does it differently. so off I go to do my civic duty. I hope I don't get picked because I am going to a quilt show tomorrow with a friend and then on Friday we have a quilt run. LOL. I don't think that would be a good excuse to get out of jury duty. although I have never been on a trial and maybe that would be interesting. Well off to starbucks and then Santa Ana.....I get to go to the Superior Court House.

My DH offered to take my pile of adults to the PO. He won't do that again! They really saw him coming and for most of the envelopes they charged him package rates. Japan was actually cheaper than some of the US ones. They made him complete a form for Canada but not Japan! By the end just 10 envelopes cost him $20. Think I will go with the 6x9 envelopes next time and see how they fare. AND go to the next town over and see if their PO workers are quilters!

It makes a different on envelopes which way the "flap" goes. If it goes across the long part of the envelope it is considered a booklet envelope and will go like a birthday card type envelope. If the flap goes across the short part of the envelope it is considered a catalog envelope and goes at a higher rate. All of my USA ones have been between .69 and .89 give or take. It also depends on the thickness of the envelope -- that's why you need to iron and mash'm flat as a pancake.

I really like it also. Do you have Hobby Lobby? They should have the stripe. I made a quilt with some of this fabric and the stripe as my backing. Love it.
Rec'd block from L.Dugas. I like it a lot. Will post it tomorrow. Thank you lots!
