Mini Quilt From Ontario

What a surprise I had today....... I  knew UPS was delivering my Ronda rulers today but did not know that a second package would be delivered also.    When I saw that it was from Ontario I knew it was a little quilt.   The packages sat on the  porch for over an hour while I was cleaning getting ready to decorate for Christmas.   When I finally went to the door to get the package,  there were two.   What excitement.... dropped all the house work,  open the package, got out the camera and started taking pictures.   What an absolute gorgeous mini quilt.   The quilting is sooooo beautiful ......everything about it is wonderful.   The quilt came from Tracy in Ontario.    The APQS forum had a mini quilt swap that we signed up for.   We had no idea of who would send us a quilt.  We email our preferences to a co-ordinator and then were given the details of whom we were to make a quilt for.   This is my very first quilt ever as a gift and it came from  Tracy.   This will be treasured for ever.    I can not believe the work that went into this quilt.  I love the dresden  plate blocks.   This is so perfect for my little cottage....
Also Tracy sent a few special gifts along with the mini ..... darling apple pincushin,  thread,  beautiful fabric which I will make a quilt with it and a quilt journal that will travel with me for my doodles and designs.
Thank you again Tracy for such a lovely gift.
