If someone had stolen it they would get my vote to rot in hell. At least you know there is a chance for the quilt to be returned. I hope the address it was delivered to has nice people living there. More people then you probably imagine think that if it's delivered to them it's theirs.

Just thowing this out for an idea. I would be willing to sew a couple of blocks and sending them to you. If we could get a few
of us together. Would you have the time and resources to sew them together and maybe we could get a quilt together for her.
We could all do line pink and white colors. Just a thought.

I had a package delived, at least they said if was. My address is 412. They delivered it to 421 and swore it was my house. The people at 421 were on vacation, so I didn't get the package for 2 weeks, but it finally got here. So keep your fingers crossed.

This is horrible news. My prayer is that this quilt will be found and in time for your cousin to surround herself with it so she may feel all the love that comes with it. A quilt instructor recently said never declare when sending a package that it is a quilt, say bedding. My heart goes out to you, let us know if it does turn up as I'm one praying for that outcome.

Have your cousin place a "dummy box" on her porch with a note in it, stating please bring back a quilt made for a cancer patient. However, I would place a camera trained on the porch with the dummy box. We did this when our daughter's car was keyed. We caught the "trash" the nex time he tried to damage the car. These days you have to be your own police. I would also place a theft complaint with the Postmaster on both ends of your mailing experience. So sorry for your pain.

I am so sorry to hear of the loss or misdelivered pkg for your cousin. It may show up yet. It would give me such pleasure to return a box misdelivered to me by mistake. Maybe the person has not had time to get it returned. My hope is that it will show up at your cousins or back to you soon. Prayers will be sent for your cousins pending surgery.

I will call the PO in GA and hope that the mail carrier realized that my cousin didn't live at that address. Hopefully, my box is being returned to me. If not, I'll have to chalk this up to a stupidity on my part. One can't grow without making mistakes.
I will make her another quilt.
Y'all are all awesome. Thanks so much!!!
Hugs to each of you. :D :D :D
