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."

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.
