Abominable Tariffs

 This morning Barbara Brackman continued her timely series about tariffs with a look at the confusing De Minimis import tax exemption.  We probably won't be ordering any artwork or gifts or supplies from overseas in the foreseeable future, sigh. 

ABOMINABLE TARIFFS

And I've finished up my set of tariff blocks -- a crisp bright quilt top that's kept me distracted from appalling current events as they've unfolded all week. It will eventually become a donation quilt.

There are some really unusual blocks in your quilt, at least they're new to me anyway. As for ordering from overseas, I heard on the news that Europe is now refusing to mail to the US...not sure about Canada though.
