Have fun Terrie! And remember, GST & duty costs are still much cheaper than buying the stuff in Canada... And you can always unwrap a few small but expensive items and put them in a pouch in your purse! Every quilter travels with a pouch of sewing utensils containing good scissors, good needles, a variety of threads, a few fat quarters or other fabric bits, just in case you would have a little spare time to sew, such as when waiting in line at the border in lacolle or philipsburgh ( hint: the smaller borders generally only have a fraction of the lineup - but check the opening times, some close at 4 pm or a bit later for the night ).
Might be an idea to sew a few strips together or toss a couple of hexies into the package to show you're a true quilter.
(Don't forget to not have the receipts for declared and 'used' stuff mixed together!
A couple of weeks ago I had an " who'se the quilter?" From the back of my dad's car when the customs officer inspected the trunk and saw the Hexie-pouch on the top of my purse. A lengthy discussion of quilting followed and she forgot all about asking further questions beyond the usual: are you bringing any alcohol, guns, knifes or other weapons?
Enjoy your day! I'll be thinking of you, being totally, but totally green with envy
