  • One of the saddest things that can happen to a quilter has happened to me...my finished quilt top has gone missing en route to my long arm quilter. I am heartbroken that, after a year of work, my completed 2023 Designer Mystery Block of the Month quilt will not be enjoyed in the way I had intended.
    Despite this tragic turn of events, I'm thankful I have this small bit of footage to share with you and remember it by. What a great quilt it would have been!

      You are so kind and considerate for checking in! Unfortunately as of now, the quilt is still lost. The tracking hasn't been updated since early June and I received an insurance claim check from USPS. Of course, I would take my quilt back over that check any day! But it was at least a small consolation that the cost of some of the materials was recouped; of course not my time and love that went into it, though! Although I would love to get it back one day, I'm focusing my energy on new quilts and thankful for a valuable lesson this experience was!

    If you purchased the postage at the counter, and it’s been less than three months. They should be able to look up your tracking number by the address you mailed it to. I’ve had to do this before myself when I’ve lost a tracking number. But you have to do it at the counter that you purchased it at.

If it really never shows up, I find in situations like this to allow myself to be sad and grieve for a little bit and then think of it as a really large donation to.... someone, somewhere. Somehow thinking this way sits better on my heart. Rather than, "I was wronged"
    (and a silly option) the quilting heavens found a mistake and they didn't want you to find it. 😂😂

    Ugh!! What a gut punch! I’m so sorry. Your quilt is beautiful and hopefully it’ll resurface soon. I don’t know where you live but here in Metro Atlanta we have had horrible issues with USPS. Packages and letters go missing for weeks or longer. It’s sad because they used to be very reliable. Now I only ship UPS when it’s something important. It’s more expensive but I’ve learned it’s worth it. Hopefully your quilt will be found!! You’re handling this better than I would. ❤

    Don't lose hope! I mailed a quilt for my newborn granddaughter and it didn't arrive. My daughter spent hours searching, building to building and nothing. We, like you, resigned ourselves that it was just gone. About a week or so later she sends me a text with a picture of the quilt! It finally arrived. We don't know how or where it had been but it showed up! I do hope your quilt finds it's way to the long armer or back to you. PS I always put a piece of paper inside any package I mail with my address and the destination address just in case it finds its way to some "lost and found room". If they open it, it has info to forward. I do hope your quilt finds its way back to you. It is just beautiful!

    I once had a FedEx package with tracking, insurance, etc. get “lost” ($300 birthday gift in it) and never recovered. Furthermore, fedEx did nothing to help find it and just said it was lost, so don’t assume having tracking will prevent it from getting lost. I am convinced a FedEx employee stole this package. I hope your quilt resurfaces one day ❤.

    Oh my! So sad after your heart and time poured into the beautiful quilt. Know others have suggested a few helpful ideas. Here are my ideas:
    1)Take a cell phone picture of your receipts, tracker numbers, and the quilt in the box.
    2) Place an Apple Air tag in every box. Be sure your quilter knows it is there so he/she will ship it back to you with the quilt. You could even have it sewn into the corner of the quilt.
    3) Insurance and signature required. Don’t know if the signature is needed or not. At a minimum it requires extra attention through the shipping process.

    I learned in a very sad life story that "Life is not Fair" and truly this happened to you. I have made two quilts from the Fat Quarter Shop kits, I did however purchase 3 finishing kits and 2 backing from Fat Quarter Shop. I am almost finished sewing my two quilts, made one for two of my married sons. I am so very sorry this happened to you. If you still have your scraps, there is enough to made another quilt if you want to try and make another quilt.

      You are so right! This is a great example of "life's not fair." I may close the chapter on this particular quilt, but someone here did suggest making a miniature version of it with the scraps. If I do it again, I may end up going that route in memory of the full-size one.

    So sorry.... I know the amount of time and effort that goes into a quilt.... I have had packages mis-routed by usps before and I can honestly say that eventually it all worked out. Yes, it will drive you bananas until it gets to it's destination.... but, it will get there. I'm thinking the max time it took for a first class package was 6 weeks (during covid times).... but yes, it is VERY important to hold onto that tracking number. Without that, there really isn't any way the USPS can track down your package and move it along.... don't give up hope!

    I am so very sorry, your quilt was gorgeous.😢You were so kind to share your experience, it’s a very tough one to go through, and I’m sure it was very emotional. All of the work you did, and anticipation of the finished quilt, it’s so much. I believe you should really try to find someone local, and you won’t have this worry again. I learned my lesson years ago when I mailed a beautiful scarf I crocheted for a friend in Germany, which she never received. I had tracking on it, which stopped in Chicago, and they had no answers for me. I didn’t spend nearly the amount of time you did on your quilt, but it hurt in a weird way that someone took my creation intended for a friend. Sending you good wishes for finding a local long armer that you love. Your quilts are gorgeous.❤

    This is heartbreaking! Maybe it’ll show up!
    Here’s my advice: find a local long arm quilter. Ask her to come to you. You’re willing to spend 40 bucks to mail it, offer it to her to come to you instead. She’s offering you a service, she should be willing to go an extra step to make that happen.
    I did this quilt as well and so I know there’s enough fabric left over to make another .. you may have to be creative with the setting .. or hunt down more fabric, but when things settle down and the sting doesn’t sting quite as much, make it again. FQS offers patterns for smaller blocks on their blog .. I think 3 and 6 inch? Make a smaller version! Again, so sorry this happened.

    • @EaddysCraftRoom

And I love your idea about creating a mini version of this quilt. A fantastic idea that I may have to try :)

I don’t even mail our property tax check via mail - I just drive the 15 miles or so to the local Tax office and hand them the check - and then I get a receipt thst we have paid. I always use the UPS store near us for sending any kind of box or something that needs to be somewhere - I’ve lost patience and trust with the Post Office.

    Oh no. I have had things lost, never to be seen again, in the mail, but once I ordered something from China. I waited and waited and it never came. I live in Australia and usually it's not too slow. I gave up and forgot about it, cutting my losses, then one day seven months later my parcel turns up??? I don't know where it had been or what was going on, I think it must have flown around Australia for seven months because the last tracking I got was from Aust Post saying it had cleared customs and then it all went silent. So maybe, just maybe there is a glimmer of hope but as you say, don't count on it. On with the next project. Sigh.

    Oh I am sooooo sorry. I cried along with you. Here's hoping that USPS can find that package.

    👋🥺. Oh no. I have a friend who puts those gps type tags in her boxes that she mails. I really do hope it shows up. 🤞🏻🤞🏻

      That is a GREAT idea! Can't believe I haven't thought of that before! Thank you!

    Pat Sloan shared this happening to a finished quilt destined for a photo shoot for a book. She had to remake the promised quilt. She was not pleased. Sorry for you too! USPS, Uncertain Sorting of Parcels and Selective returns.

      As heartbroken as I am that it happened to Pat Sloan, that makes me feel better to know it's also happened to one of the greats!

    Here's some advice from someone who sends out her quilts: Post a photo of the missing quilt on the missing quilt website. Place your top in a sealed plastic bag that includes a slip of paper with your name, address, and phone number as well as the name, address, and phone number of the machine quilter. As soon as you mail the package, send the machine quilter your tracking number so (s)he can keep an eye out for your work of art, but be sure to keep your slip from USPS with the tracking number. I hope it is found!

    That is terrible 😢. So sorry. Even the insurance money wouldn’t have replaced the quilt.

      You are so right! I said to my husband last night, "I don't even want any money back, I just want my quilt!"

    While its unfortunate its not "tragic" , school shootings, homes destroyed in natural disasters..THATS TRAGIC. Thats life, we invest our time and there isnt alway going to be a payout, we can form attachment to things and they break down or 'go missing' its all on how you loom at it and deal with it but to say its tragic ..nah not really .. its a 1st world problem that the post office has lost track of your package

      I think she titled her video “A Quilting Tragedy”. While what you mention are actually human tragic events…this was still tragic to the person that spent many hours and a lot of money on something that gave her joy. Lighten up!
