Shipping
Shipping your t-shirts and cherished fabrics to me: I live in North Carolina, USA, and would be happy to receive your items by mail. I'd recommend sending your materials enclosed in some kind of weatherproof bag to protect against possible moisture in transit and then placed in a hard-sided cardboard box. Make sure the box is securely taped and labeled clearly.
Return shipping: I will send your quilt/keepsake back to you in the manner described above via UPS (using simple rate when possible/economical). UPS mail comes with $100 of insurance and a tracking number but please indicate on your intake form if you would like me to buy any additional insurance on your behalf. It's a great idea to insure your valuables against loss or damage, but I don't require it.
