Really it depends on how many seams you have. If you don't have very many than a legal envelope wiill work fine. I use a manila envelope 6X 9 I get them at the dollar store 6 in a package for 99cents. take off the metal clasp as they will charge more for that. I buy cling wrap at the dollar store, not really good for food but good for pushing all the air out of your squishy and protecting it if they get caught in the machine... I also put a piece of packing tape (I also get it at dollar store, the tricky part of the tape you get at Dollar store is to keep the end together with a small piece of paper on the sticky side of the end) I put a 65 cent stamp on the blocks going home and never have a problem...

I let my PO train me into how they like to see my squishy's treated. Makes my life easier, the first year I lived up here we always battled, they usually won, so for me it was just easier. I hope this helps!

I got a very pretty block in the mail from Ljdugas31. Very Nice. I think it will go great in my Wounded Warrior quilts.

Thanks, Phannie[ATTACH=CONFIG]322908[/ATTACH]

Just getting ready to do a little more sewing. I have made 13 blocks, all ready to go to the post office. Hopefully today. I have fabric for 2 more, just deciding what kind of blocks I want to do with sapdoggie and linnaete's. I'm missing fabric from scrapper and Ok Darla. Hopefully itwill be here soon! Its fun trying to decide what kind of block to do with certain fabrics. Hopefully all will be happy with their blocks. Sew happy. Oma7
