Really? That's strange! I have sent quilts out to be quilted to the U.S., checked off that it is a gift, and declared the true value and insured it for that value and there has never been a problem with having to pay duty/taxes.

And here I thought SD was joining my doll quilt swap! What a let down! LOL! But thanks for the tips on mailing internationally. :thumbup:

The US does not charge that tax to recipients, as far as I know. I discovered this in another swap and it was mailings to Canada.

Awww Chele, you are making me feel bad now.... Okay I will join your swap, does that make you feel better? :)

Will you really? I didn't mean to strong arm you! But what other chance will I have to snag one of your quilts?!! Doll Quilt Swappers, SD's in da house! Whoop, whoop!

LOL!! I bet Chele is going to keep you all to herself!!

Well, I say Chele deserves it!!! I think we all ought to say that Chele gets to be matched up with who she wants this month...it'll be her Valentine's Gift from us!!!!!!!!

thats a GREAT idea Esqmommy!! I don't mind. She has started these swaps and they have really grown on everyone!!

I have my feb. top done! and i still need to finish jan!!

Awww, you guys are so sweet, but I'll throw my hat into the ring just like everyone else! I'm just very happy to have Shadow Dancer join us. We have so many talented quilters in this group and I love adding more.

WooHoo...I bet we can get SD hooked on these just like you snared the rest of us Chele! Glad you are playing SD!
