As you may have read previously it was my birthday recently and I thought I was all done with the presents until this week. Last Friday the postie left a card in our letterbox because apparently we weren't home at 7.00am when he "tried" to drop a parcel off. By the time I got the card it was late afternoon and it was hot and I thought it would be some cannisters I won from Kirsty (which by the way arrived yesterday, thanks Kirsty) so I wasn't too stressed about getting there.

Off I trotted after work on Tuesday to pick the parcel up and it was a large squishy parcel from the other side of the country from my gorgeous, wonderful quilting friend Helen (we already have one of her quilts here, ours is the first one). I assumed it was fabric but when I had a sneak peak in the car I could see it was a quilt, so of course I rushed home to open it and this is what I found

This is laid out on the bed as there was too much washing on the line to hang it for a photo

Squiggly quilting

It is huge, I'm sure Helen went over the weight limit on the parcel and it measures close to 150cm x 150cm. We have a king bed and it lays beautifully over the top although there is no way I am sharing with Jeff when winter comes around, I'll be snuggling under this all by myself.

Thank you so much Helen you are a wonderful friend and if only we lived closer I could bug you to do my quilting for me.
