GENEROSITY


I am not sure why the photograph I posted of the hankies hasn't appeared, I will have to try again. I have been given 20 beautiful hankies by a very kind fellow quilter - I belong to an online quilting group called Southern Cross Quilters, and the members are so incredibly friendly, and kind! So I now have no reason not to continue with this quilt - the hankies arrived beautifully packaged, all washed and ironed, and all in 100% perfect condition.


And speaking of gifts ... my husband and I have been given this magnificent quilt as a gift. I admired it when I first saw it in a beautiful home in Wentworth Falls, and the owner gave it to my husband as a thank-you gift! What a delicious surprise. The quilt is Japanese, and the fabrics are all upholstery weight - it is made up of a version-of log cabin blocks - simple, elegant ... as are all things Japanese. It will take pride of place in our living room, in a spot where I presently have a vintage wedding kimono hanging - we are short of wall space, so the kimono can have a rest for a while.
