Home from Estonia
After three years, my quilt, Lakeside Citrus, is home from Estonia. It was there as part of the Art in Embassies program, hanging in the residence of the U.S. Ambassador.

I was surprised at the way it was packed and thought you’d be interested in seeing it. Here it is.
See that very intentional gap? At first I thought the packaging had split open and I commented to the delivery guy. He said, “That’s a breather. It must be fabric or something.”
Indeed. But why was this guy so knowledgeable? I looked at the delivery truck. Not UPS. Not FedEx. So, I asked “What delivery company are you with?
That’s when he explained that he works for an art shipping company. Interesting! Apparently, they have the contract with the Art in Embassies program.
When I opened the package, I saw that the attention to careful detail continued with the interior packaging.
Very nice. I was delighted to see that my quilt (and even the hanging slat) had received such good care!

P.S. Not sure where Estonia is? It’s on the eastern side of the Baltic sea, next to Russia.
P.P.S. In 2007, I had the joy of BRIEFLY visiting the capitol city of Tallinn. Here’s my favorite photo from that day.
