My friend Mary Wood, who lives in Australia, sent me something quite wonderful for my birthday. She is just the most thoughtful person! Mary has a blog called Scottish Nanna–you should check it out. Stop by and tell her hello, she would love it. She has a large family–over 40 grand children (!!!), and is interested in quilting, scrapbooking and collecting fun things.
This table cloth features the most exquisite applique I have ever seen. I have to show you a close up. It is really quite amazing. How can anyone get their stitches so small? This is a gift to treasure. I don't know how Mary could give it up!! I can tell you that I will appreciate it with all my heart.
And how about this? Look how great it will look with my new blue and white dishes!
Do come back tomorrow to see something else Mary gave me. It is such a splendid idea, you will want one as well!

BIRTHDAY???
When was your birthday? I didn’t see anything mentioned anywhere about your birthday… like when it was, or when it is? I think I’m a bit annoyed by that… makes it hard for a girl to wish you a Happy Birthday. 🙂
That said, Mary’s gift is beautiful. And thoughtful. How did she know this lovely tablecloth would be so perfect with your pretty new dishes? She’s a genius.

Wow, that really is stunning. You are very lucky, and Mary is amazingly talented. I would never put that on my table for fear of spillkng something on it! Can we have a close up of the grapes?

Hi!
I have a tablecloth like this,I bought it in a second-hand shop. I was not able to leave it, since somebody worked so much with him!
Beautiful!I like the blue one and the white very much together.
