One of those "O" birthdays

Since my last post I have had one of those special "O" birthdays.   I have been very spoilt by my family - being taken out for a lovely family lunch on the weekend, dinner out on my actual birthday to my favourite restaurant and given some beautiful gifts by everyone.   It took my mind off getting older.  There is one gift that I wanted to share with you and it was given to me by a very special friend - we have known each other for about 37 years.   It arrived in the post and when I was unwrapping it I did wonder what it could be from the shape


As you can see it is a set of the most adorable mini quilts complete with their own rack.


She has included 4 seasonal quilts and 4 traditional quilt patterns.


My quilt rack has pride of place in our family room and will be treasured for a very long time.
