RE: Starting A New Quilt - Wonky Stars for Gwen - Needlework Monday

in #art7 years ago

Thank you! The baby girl is almost one and started walking recently. I usually give it to them on their actual day of birth, but my machine was hidden in boxes after our move to Panama, so I couldn't get one done before she was born. And then there's the whole...how would I ship it back? Ha. Anyway, I hate triangles, but this was really easy. I recommend it!!

Sort:  

Oh, do you not have a way to mail stuff out there??

It is insanely expensive - like DHL. There are no addresses here in Panama, so no mail system. Nothing is guaranteed to actually make it where you want it...to the US or here. I have a MIL who has mailed us 3 letters from Texas...none have arrived. Ha.

No addresses...my first world privilege is boggling my mind, only because I never gave the matter serious thought in the first place. Mail is something that we take so much for granted!!

Lol - it really is. Yeah to get directions here it's no fun. We have yet to find a church we are trying to attend. "Turn on the fast road (paved) and go up three streets. You'll see a truck and bus garage. It's right across from that." We finally learned it's a yellow house with no cars. Lol.

That's really funny :))) Are you going to go hunting for the yellow house church this Sunday?

I think we know where it is, but we aren't planning to hunt for it tomorrow. Perhaps next week. Ha
