Parcel Post & Footnote

Been "following" the last eBay item I'll have shipped out for a while. It's going Parcel Post to Nevada. Went from New Mexico, to Colorado, to California, so far. I can hope it's en route to Nevada now.

Sometimes that service is faster than others! There seem to be "pauses" in its journey. Maybe that's normal? One package I anticipated receiving "parked" in one place for more than 10 days! Hopefully that won't happen to this package.

Packaged arrived. PO charged extra because it was shipped in an inside-out Priority box. Can't remember if that box had been used already or not. Buyer left feedback rather than contact me, but I refunded the overcharge. Never had that happen before. Be more careful next time!

Latest Quilt Top

Here is the finished quilt top that I made for my sister-in-law. It's about 70"x90".

Had to get the top finished before we move rather than have it in parts, not knowing when I'll be able to get back to it.

12 Days and Counting

Must be out of here (school district housing) by the 15th.

No job yet for my husband. I hope one turns up soon.

Packing boxes and wondering where they will be unpacked....

eBay is basically on hold. Not likely to list/re-list anything until the moving dust settles.

Inflated Shipping Rates

eBay is a strange place. I was watching two pieces of fabric, one 1 1/3 yards and the other 1 1/2 yards. Total under 3 yards. The seller listed shipping as almost $4 for each piece of fabric! So, I emailed (before placing any bids!) asking if I won both pieces, would she ship them in a flat rate Priority envelope. Her reply stated that she did not think they would fit, sorry. I emailed back that 5 yards easily fits in that envelope (in reality 6 can fit!), but it was up to her.

To me, it's a pretty cheap trick to pad one's profits by inflating shipping costs! That is definitely something to watch for on eBay!
