i just can not understand why people chose the 'brown' way to mail their quilts. i worked for 'blue' for 25 yrs. they have 'peep' holes everyplace to watch the workers in the big buildings. and the little buildings, i know the workers treat each piece of mail like it was their own. can not say enough about the dedication of 'blue workers'.

Hinterland, I'm praying for your quilts safe return!
I had a parcel "misplaced" at customs/Canadian Postal Service in Ontario last summer. One group would say the other had it - and this went on for over 8 weeks. I was utterly disgusted with their attitudes, and lack of customer service.
Then on the 9th week of being in limbo, the seller called me to say it was returned to him. It had the proper address, correct postage etc. I had him send it to me by FedEx.
I hope you get results soon!

St. Anthony doesn't care if you're Catholic or not.
It'd be nice if a lot of us did that.
(I'm not Catholic, so I've never prayed to St. Anthony for anything in my life..)

After following this thread, I have a problem. All of my kids live out of state and I make quilts for them for Christmas. Have used UPS in the past with no problems but now am somewhat afraid to use them again. Any suggestions for a safe way to ship? [I never indicate that a quilt is in the box; just list it as a blanket.]

I think we all learned something from this post about shipping/mailing a one of a kind quilt. Here is a list of some tips I put in my mind when it's time to mail a quilt.
1. Use several boxes in a box to make the box huge, much harder to lose a huge box. (with address labels on each box)
2. Insure the package to the max.
3. Insist on seeing the packaged scanned if picked up. Take a picture of employee with box in hand if no paper receipt.
4. Use Express delivery with signature confirmation.
5. Check tracking every day.

There are many on here to look at many quilts Even if some has this pattern they more that likely will not have it the same. We are many eyes and I may add hearts helping look for this quilt. Hopefully it will show up soon. Our hearts and prayers are with you.
