How lucky am I

I was so surprised to get a parcel the other day.
It was from Jo in Tasmania.
My parcel contained this amazing piece of work.

A lovely little bucket bag and a needle case. It is hand embroidered in amazing small even stitches and the saying on the bag is:

"In my heart there lives a joyful song, the road to a friend's house is never long"

I feel very lucky, I have never met Jo, I participated in the Advent swap she organised last year and I wrote to give her some feedback and she sent me this.

I really enjoyed the swap and will be hoping that it runs again this year.

While I am here I just got pointed to this blog: WorldsBiggestHexagonQuilt it is amazing and I can't wait to see the finished quilt, it's going the rock the world record off it's socks.
