Christmas runner and gifts from Down Under
 

I met the most awesome lady from Australia through a swap on this board. We have continued to stay in touch. I just received this table runner, fat quarters and Chocolate Roses from her today. The runner has koalas, parrots and kangaroos. I couldn't wait till Christmas!

Please post pics! Sounds wonderful.

What a wonderful surprise gift. You must be special friends.

Happy holidays.

Beautiful suprise! I wouldn't have been able to wait either. Very sweet and generous gift!

WOW What a wonderful gift!

Very nice!!! Cool table runner!

Isn't it fun to get something that has been done by someone else? I have a friend that lives in AZ that we visit every year, I always take something for her and she always has something for me.

Such wonderful and thoughtful gifts :) :) :)

what an awesome friend! and such a pretty table runner and fabs!

How wonderful a friend....

What a wonderful friend you have found.......Merry Christmas. :)

That is real nice surprise.

Blessings to you and your awsome friend. I picked the koalas right away.

I'm so very happy you have found a dear friend on here. And she does lovely work.
Merry Christmas.

Wow, I just love that table runner! Great fabrics too. Aren't you glad you didn't wait till Christmas to open your package!

How wonderful......you were so very lucky to have found each other.

What a great gift!!!

What a wonderful gesture. She sent a little piece of her home land to you with those wonderful fabrics.

Now that's my kind of pin pal who quilts too yeah!!

What a wonderful friend.

I love that u two are staying in touch. Buddysmom has been my best friend for over 5 years and we have never met. I am on the west coast and she on the east coast and we met on an eBay item and we send each other things all the time. Stay in touch with your friend, it is so wonderful. What a sweetheart for sending you theses wonderful things. I love my friend Kimberly like my sister. She posts on this site al the time.

it is so cute, love the different types of fabric (kangaroos and such) we don't see that here-enjoy

What a wonderful surprise gift

Love her fabrics. Lucky you!!!

Thanks for all the comments. She wrote last night that she and her Mum may come over in a year or 2. I'm already excited!

The table runner is delightful. How special to connect with someone so far away, yet with computers we can stay in touch so easily. Fabric and candy from her homeland was a wonderful connection too. If I were to send candy that represented where i am from it would be See's. I am pretty sure it is a west coast treat. Happy Holiday to you and your friend.

Awww! that is so sweet of your friend. Makes me smile :) Merry Christmas!!

How pretty and what a nice surprise!

Murphy1, I've never heard of Sees either! Yes, must be a west coast candy.

Wow, I am drooling. What a wonderful table runner, beautiful fabrics and CHOCOLATE. What a great gift,

What a wonderful surprise
Have a Blessed day

Such a fun runner! Neat that you two swap gifts like this! :)

Yes, Sees is a west coast candy, but I've had it - and it's wonderful. I think it can be ordered, too. I know it isn't readily available here.

What a wonderful friend from "down under"
