It Comes in Threes

You know what they say...Things generally come in threes. Today, I received three parcels in the mail. First of all, I received the doll quilt that I won from Christine's giveaway. It is just so adorable! As you can see, it is very pretty and whimsical. Thanks so much Christine!

Secondly, I got a lovely siggy from Andrea who is from Germany, and what a lovely stitchery she did for me in the centre of the block. It was wonderful Andrea!

Last but not least, my very good friend Mary, who lives in the bush area in NSW, Australia, sent me three siggies that she made. She is not a member of the International Siggy Group, but she was nice enough to make me three siggies to include in my quilt. Her Christmas gift was in the package too. She got me a lovely geisha applique pattern that is huge, as you can see. I will be buying Asian fabrics and applique the geisha. It will fit perfectly on our bedroom door, once I put the borders on it, as it is as long as our door, but more narrow than a quilt. I should have fun with that one.
It snowed a bit here in Dunfanaghy this morning, and needless to say it is still very cold. We put on our boots, and we were able to take our walk, as the snow was not slippy like the icy sidewalks have been. Well, I don't know if this is all due to global cooling, but this winter is really hitting alot of places hard all over the world.
