I had an email this morning from Lily in Australia to say to say that my 'Dancing Snowflakes' winter quilt had arrived safely - always a relief to hear something has reached its destination especially over such a long journey
Then after a trip into Taunton this morning for various shopping essentials like new rugby boots for DD1 and her impending regional match and birthday jeans for DD2's special day, both happening tomorrow, I came home to find a parcel on my doormat from Linda who is another Australian but now living in Oklahoma
And here it is my beautiful Winter quilt
I love the redwork (or should that read blackwork) snowmen and the snowflakes in metallic threads with tiny little seed beads worked on themIt's a delight and I shall treasure it
Now to keep a look out and sign up for the Spring leg

That is very sweet. The little beads make it.
It's beautiful isn't it? I love the little scene and all the hand work that went into it.
Funny that it's from an Aussie expat! These colonial links never break apparently :)
Wow the handwork is great. Yours is too. Ahem, mine, is shall we say, in need of a good deal of practise!
such great quilts made by you and Miss Cascade Lily........well done
It's beautiful. I love the border fabric. How did the rugby go and did Sarah get to play?
Lucky you!! I loved Linda's quilt, gorgeous stitchery, Tracey
oh ouch. hope it heals soon and that nick feels better too. Happy birthday to louise - at least she's not got nick's bug on her birthday - that would be much worse than sitting in the car during a rugby match...
I've signed up for the spring RR, too - perhaps we'll get to work on each other's pieces. :)
