received an email from ami - they've found the problem and hope to have fixed it...
we can now buy whatever we want and send it wherever there is an address a mailman will deliver to

The ladies who are helping Ami with the processing and posting of these little quilts are great. They are very easy to communicate with. For example, every time I buy something they (this time Debbie) send me an email, listing the various choices of sending the quilts from the US to the UK, with prices, and I can pick whichever option I like best.

All I can say: Go on! Give these ladies some more work!

Congratulations Lotti! So pleased you chose one of mine! I agree with you about the limitations of postage. And it would be great if they could get it sorted out. They just need one of those pages where you fill in both the billing address and the shipping address. I am sure you have got them all with their thinking caps on now. Anyway, I hope the recipients like their gifts.

Glad my horsey found a good home. You are right Lorchen, you can get into a lot of trouble. When I go down to Houston in the fall, I get into a lot of trouble at their booth. Last time I brought home 8!!! Yikes. Clara

i know - but if feels soooooo good !

actually - i had tried before - but because i couldn't get the shipping to work i gave up.
this time around i ended up giving my friend's dad's p.o. box in the states - she can then pick it up there - and pass the second one on...
but it certainly would be a shame if they missed out on selling quilts because of a fraud-safety-implementation
why is it that i keep discovering these limitations and wierd problems? is it really just me that tries to do the semi-impossible

Lotti, what you have done is dangerous! You'll want to do it again, and again......

yeahhhhhhhh
purchased 2 quilts
Nr. 9538 ($100) yup - your great horse nr. 2, clara
Nr. 10490 ($45) rita's tambani embroidery
two prezzies down - ??? more to go

however, we've found a glitch :shock: i've been keeping ami and her AAQI web-guru busy
it seems that if i'm in one country i cannot purchase an AAQI country to be shipped into another country than my own or the US...
it's a safety precaution against credit card frauders scuzzy card frauders
anyway, they're trying to work a way around this and fix it
but....
if you have the same or similar problem and the internet system will not let you complete the order - change the shipping address back to your own - and be sure to write a little note in the "comment section" (just under the shipping details section), giving the correct shipping address and asking them to contact you with the correct shipping cost.
- i can vouch that there are all fabulous, helpful, real people behind the scenes at AAQI and we want to be able to purchase these lovelies and make sure they get shipped to all our friends from anywhere around the world.

i herewith appologize to ami and co for being such a pain - but i have two friends in canada who are going to be sooooooooooo happy to get these
and there are more friends out there who will hopefully be getting some AAQI quilts soon too

Here are a couple of Ann's quilts. Clara

Well that's not bad at all. However, we would really need a few more done before the end of the year to reach the goal of 1000 quilts from TQS! Time to get buying and quilting.

Here is the latest update.

Sorry Clara!..... Well, not really. I'm delighted I got to it first.

Oh, no. I had been eyeballing that lovely set of feathers with all the creative doodles. Glad it found a good home. Clara

Rita, I wanted your Doodle Plume since I saw it for the first time. I'm just glad that I spotted it before anybody else did.

Lorchen, thank you so much for purchasing my Doodle Plume! I am thrilled to bits that you did. That was definitely a one of a kind, never to be repeated! You are a very kind and generous woman.
