Friends With Benefit..what I received..

I recently shared what I sent to Janet for the Friends With Benefit swap..and now here is what Janet sent to me..
a beautiful little friendship sampler in blue and gold...the colours of Otago..which is the province I live in, here in the South Island.  Janet sent me a questionnaire that she had also given answers for and in it I expressed the desire to one day make a blue and gold quilt...when ?? I don't know, but now that I have my special little one maybe I don't need to now!!!!  Janet also included a little pattern book from Fig Tree quilts because it had an article on using silk thread, which is just what Janet used to quilt my gift.  Needless to say I was over the moon when I opened the parcel.
One thing I learned about postage is that even though I sent mine Fastpost, it took a lot longer to get to Canada than Janet's parcel took to arrive from there..nearly twice as long!  it made for an anxious wait..

  3. The little quilt is beautiful, nice colour combination and lovely quilting as well. I've had parcels coming from the USA held up at Auckland on their way through to Oz, and yet other times I've had parcels from NZ come in less than 5 days, can't figure it out.
