Last week, apart from my birthday celebrations, I had my works retirement party. It was lovely. Lots of colleagues, past and present, came to help celebrate, and of course I had gifts. My colleagues know me pretty well, and apart from a lovely gold necklace, I had vouchers for the local quilting shop and this!

Everyone had been primed to bring a small gift of a piece of fabric, ribbon, some thread or beads, and green had been mentioned as emminently suitable! I had great fun unpacking and stroking it all!
There is one other gift I must just mention, from my special friend and quilt-lover, Sue.
