Was I ever relieved today to hear that the tulip quilt (above) finally arrived in Brazil. Apparently it took a long detour through Costa Rica, where it was beset by a pack of wild dogs who chewed some holes in the package and then taped it all up again, and it made its way to its new home bearing a "Damaged in Transit" stamp and various doggie footprints. (Ok, I'm kidding about the dog part.) The envelope was a mess but the quilt itself was just fine!
No word on the churn dash quilt which went out at the same time -- I suspect it got there but its recipient isn't answering any inquiries from me or the swap organizer. But I mind that a lot less than I minded the idea of my little tulip opus being lost in transit!
*whew*
Next time I send to South America I'm going to follow my friend Mike's advice and use DHL.
