It will also give Peggyzo and Babeyruth some insight also. This would be great to put on the note when your quilt goes traveling. Will be fun to see all the labels on our boxes when we keep using the same to send on.

Also on packing our quilts, a friend of mine said she stuffs the quilt in the box in a bag, then she uses the vacuum to suck out the air and ties it shut and quickly seals the box. This way it is air tight, less chance of damage and you can fit a pretty big quilt in a little box. Anna, I am sure your DH will do a fine job packing up the quilts to be mailed. My friend said she ships to the Netherlands all the time for her customers and one time customs opened the box and POOF out popped the quilts and he could not get them back in. I bet that was so funny and he had to have been a bit embarrased not being able to pack it up again. The lady had to go to the customs office to pick it up because they could not close it.
