Thanks for the advice everyone, I'll wait a few days and then contact them.

I get anxious too when I mail a package. I've had one get lost more than once.

I agree! Sometimes doing the proper thing gets put off.
I agree. In fact, this just reminded me that I have two thank you notes due.

I always hand write a thank-you. I feel it is more personal..Maybe he is corky like me.

A few years ago my neice was having a baby. I didn't have much time so I bought a really soft large piece of fleece and simply serged the edges. Sent it to her, and never heard a word. Now she has a second baby and came to visit my daughter. I had vowed I wouldn't make another blanket.

I fell in love with the new baby. And, lo and behold she tells me that she still has the blanket I made for her first child. So, I guess she thought more of it than I perceived that she did. So yeah, I made another quilt and sent it off for the new baby. Didn't get a thank you for that one either, but decided that it doesn't mean they don't appreciate it, they just don't always say so...

Im sure you're really anxious to know what they think about the quilt - but unfortunately if they're non-quilters they just won't realise all the love and care that went into the making. I'm sure they're just exhausted with the new baby too.

They'll probably show it to everyone else though!! :thumbup:

He probably thinks the "thanks" he gave you to begin with is enough.

If he is a good friend give him a call or a note on facebook and ask. He may have just been busy with the new baby.

And again if it is like the post office here , they might not have gotten it yet . i have sent many things recently and when i followed up with pm's to make sure the items were received, nope, not received and I paid extra for hand stamping not machine processing and one person told me they received the envelope ripped open :hunf:

And new babies are a lot of work. just send him a short note, saying : hey just want to make sure you received the package !" Can't hurt :lol:

So far I've been very lucky and gotten a personal thank you, cards,phone calls for each quilt I have given away. Would not give another one without acknowledgement. My time and fabrics are worth that much.
