A surprise in the letterbox

Out of the blue came this wonderful parcel from Lyn and I love it.
There is a very beautiful fat quarter and two gorgeous gifts from Lyn's travels. The adorable tape measure was made by ladies in Vietnam and the truly beautiful bag by ladies in Laos - and on a treadle machine.  Many many thanks to Lyn for my lovely surprise.

A Grow Your Blog prize of a delightful coaster all the way from Ireland via the USA was delivered on the same day.

Thank you so much, Sandra - I love it
