Lovely quilts and a great correspondence throughout the years. I, too, have had a penpal in Australia since I was 8 yrs. old (61 yrs.) and have sent her a wall hanging to celebrate the millenium and her grandchild a birth quilt also. Have you ever met yours? Because of a strange twist of events, I have met mine probably 10 times or more, mostly in the US. Her daughter married an American foreign exchange student and moved back to live permanently in Illinois. They come periodically and we always make an attempt to meet or have them to our house. We finally took a tour of Australia in 2013 and had the opportunity to stay with them for two weeks after the tour, for a trip of a lifetime. Hope you get to see yours. Because we have been corresponding for years, it was like meeting a neighbor that you had talked to over a fence, but had never seen. LOL
