We even went up in the tiny cage contraptions to the top of the arch the first time I visited her years ago (not for claustrophobics, but I was fine). I've been to that airport a number of times :)AnnieOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06619125197850685345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-12675202003872539042010-05-27T20:18:13.386-04:002010-05-27T20:18:13.386-04:00Whenever I mail a quilt I put it inside a plastic ...Whenever I mail a quilt I put it inside a plastic bag first just in case it gets wet!

I don't squeeze them flat like a wrinkled pancake, just enough that there are no air pockets. You might need to use the cube ones or extra large. there are also other brands, not picky about that.debbie mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13500909471875374939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-56605139858822459302010-05-27T18:39:27.382-04:002010-05-27T18:39:27.382-04:00Glad you were able to salvage the wet quilts.

They came 3 to a box. We have also stored in giant reinforced drum liners so there was a "tail" of bag to use rubber bands on.ana s.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14861518030438585225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-14136846601276866912010-05-27T15:25:01.618-04:002010-05-27T15:25:01.618-04:00That postage stamp quilt gives me some design idea...That postage stamp quilt gives me some design ideas for a quilt I am dissassembling and then reassembling that my great grandmother made.

When I was a kid, we sold our corn to Staley in Decatur for several years. As a thank you, they always provided us with a couple of cases of corn syrup! Eeeeoooo! No wonder I'm violently allergic to corn products today.Dora, the Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16043451474748191494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-59876336674329395482010-05-27T15:05:35.780-04:002010-05-27T15:05:35.780-04:00Well darn it!!!!!!!!!!

Get the really large heavy duty ones (try Lowe's or Home Depot for the contractor ones)and put your quilts inside them, duck tape them shut, and put them inside your 'body bags'. That should do the trick. And shouldn't add much weight either.Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02750219254130256927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-50183591819929515722010-05-27T14:35:23.718-04:002010-05-27T14:35:23.718-04:00Thanks for sharing.

I love the postage stamp quilt you shared; the blue and white fabrics make the scrappy quilt very special, don't they. Your travels around tutoring help this New Zealander get to know your country a little better,, and I get quite excited when you visit places my daughter visited when she went to Summer Camp, then travelled, a few years ago.
