What a happy ending! The other day when I heard about a Fed Ex tractor/trailer that caught fire and burned on the highway (no one was injured), the first thing I thought of was, "I hope there were no quilts on that truck."

I had posted a photo of it on my thread called "Australian Wildflowers" on 16.11.2013 :)

I'm so glad it finally arrived! And I am glad a shark did not end up with it!

I,m so glad, for your sake, that it arrived. WOW, what a long time. Thought our mail system was slow, LOL.

So glad it turned out well for you and your sister.

So great it got there. For your sister, great things come to thoses who wait!!

So glad that the quilt arrived safely after all that time.

Happy for you that the quilt finally arrived but how ridiculous that it took sooooooooo long. I regularly buy from the States and it usually takes about 2 weeks. Was it sitting in customs? I believe this does happen in some countries.

Of course I didn't send it by Air Mail - the cost of postage have just gotten so ridiculously high in Australia, it puts you off wanting to make presents... :( - but even with "economy" it shouldn't take any longer than 3 months. I have sent quilts overseas before and they were only in transit for 2-3 months, never any longer so yes, I do wonder where it got stuck.....

Six months! Do you suppose they shipped it by row-boat? What a situation, unbelievable. Something had to have glitched in the middle somewhere, like put on a shelf and buried at some PO, or something.
