Here are the pics of my little ray of sunshine from kwite. These pics don't do it justice. It is just beautiful.

Ok, that worked.

Yeah!! I got my doll quilt today! Thank you so much, Bettia, it's adorable! I love the little envelope with the label in it! What a great idea!!! Thanks for the needle holder - I always seem to misplace mine!!
Thanks again!!!!! :D :D :D :D

PS - I do love the toile!!!!

Hey All Y'all, Kendra just sent me some important info in a pm that I would like to share.

When I mailed my quilt to her, I insured it, reasoning that an insured package might be handled with more care and thus be less likely to be lost. I chose a number at random, and insured the box for $200.00. The cost to me for the insurance was minimal.

Well, Kendra informed me that Canadian Customs charges a tax to the recipient based on the declared/insured value of the package, and the poor thing had to pay more than $30.00 in taxes to get the box. I feel AWFUL, and will definitely reimburse her, but it may be something to consider when any of us send something to Canada in the future. I'm specifically thinking of the IRR too.

Gai that is awful. Good to know.

wow, the beauties just keep coming!!!

well first of all those quilts are so beautiful!! I love that orange border Gai!! and that ray of sunshine!!!!! the fabrics really set that pattern off :mrgreen: Bettia what a great new idea on how to do the label!! I love that little dress!

and second- Is there anything that we aren't taxed on!!!!!! :shock: :evil: sorry you had to find out the hard way :cry:

Qui, moi? http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/s...angelic002.gif

BUT - it IS beautiful! :D

The tax thing sucks (as you all say!) I guess that could apply from France to the US too? We'll have to look into it for the IRR. :?
