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.
