Stephanie is one of my mini-quilt swapees so I knew there would be something beautiful inside as her work is so amazing but look how many parcels I found
lovely allotment-y fabrics for each of the children as well as some pieces for me which the little Lockets want me to help them make into an allotment quilt
great selvedges and jumbo ric-rac
the most fantastic mini-pin-cushion that sits in the top of your cotton reel (and was put to use immediately!)
and this incredible quilt
Thank you so much Stephanie - I love it all, especially the quilt which is so intricately pieced - I don't know how you have the patience and neatness - it's amazing!I'm just sorry it has taken me a few days to blog about it - but you can blame Dot for that - getting ready for 11th birthdays and weekends at Granny and Grandpa Dog's takes a lot of doing - but I will leave you with a gorgeous photo of my gorgeous girl celebrating
You'll have to come back next time to see what I made for her - the final thing only got finished this morning after spending 8 hours working on it!

What a parcel of magic from Stephanie - I LOVE those allotment-themed fabrics - so thoughtful of Stephanie - and what a great idea to make an allotment quilt. You could all snuggle under it in your shed while you cooked up your tasty veg!
That photo is just lovely - looks as though you captured a really special moment there.
