Athens time

My DQS9 arrived!!

And just LOOK at it !!!!



Isn't it just beautiful?? In the big picture you cannot see all the wonderful details so here is a close up of some of the dolphins and the rope work around..










This is the label on the back. A great title and there is something very special in knowing this was made especially for me!



And that was not all!! Teresa, the Lochside Quilter from the Scottish Higlands hit the nail on the head with her entire lovely package! She must have been reading my blog very well as she could not have done better!!

I love blue, I love nature and dolphins and an amazing thing is that I love the Scottish Highlands and actually just came from there... Possibly passing Teresa's house (without knowing) within a couple of miles on the day she was posting the package!!

Look at all these goodies... A lovely needlecase, which I will use with great pleasure, a very nice scissor charm (blue of course!) and a beautiful card plus shortbread, which is great to have with my tea as I am missing Scotland allready!



Thank you SO MUCH, Teresa!! I came home after a long arduous drive, very tired and a little sad, and finding the parcel waiting for me (and not only that... realizing it had followed me from Scotland) was amazing and all the care and attention you have given it really touched me and made me cry!

You couldn't have done better! I am so happy with my little quilt, it will have place of honour in my sewingroom!
