Blogging has become an important part of my life. My blog was born almost 2 years ago and I have made so many wonderful friends. Some I have met and some I am soon to meet. Whatever did I do before I blogged? One of my dear friends is Jo. She lives around 20 minutes from me and we regularly meet up for coffeee, stitching and sometimes just a chat. Yesterday we had lunch together and exchanged christmas gifts. Look what she made for me - It is so nice when you receive a gift that is "so you" I just adore it Jo. I believe that she designed it herself isn't she a clever girl.
She also made me this lovely bookmark which I will use very soon when Santa brings me the new Tess Gerritsen book. And a lovely card with a beautiful friendship sentiment.
Remember in my last post I told you about playing with my bolt of linen and some new designs - Well here is a peek of a corner block of my new quilt.
I can't resist stitching it even though I should be finishing off a few gifts. I am going to have to be strong over the next few days and finish my list first. I hope you are not getting too snowed under with christmas shopping and baking. Until next time.....

Lovely present and how great for you to be able to catch up and even stitch together, we would love to move to Tassie...
Not sure how the kids would take it?

We'd probably never have met if blogging didn't exist, I'm so glad it does and we've become close friends.
