I received my 12x12mini quilt from the swap that I participated in and boy was I surprised to find a package addressed on the outside from Argentina, but inside the pkg was a bag that said MADE in TAIWAN! Ok...I have a funny sense of humor, and I know things are shipped to all countries but I found this funny!
This was my prize. This is georgous and I'm so proud to have an Argentina made quilt in my home. Celia at Patchwork Infinito sent a real treasure. Really love the colors...
Even the back is pretty.
I also received a gift of tea...how did Celia know I loved hot-tea?! I made this the next morning and it's some VERY-VERY strong tea!
I had to have one of the engineers here tell me what it said!
But then, I really want to know how she knew what I looked like, because she included a doll that looks just like me! Beedy-eyes and fuzzy hair...just like me!
I really want to thank Victoria at Bumble Beans, Inc. for having this swap. The world is really a smaller place when we share our quilting! I now have a friend in Argentina...and she does some magnificient sewing.

YES SASKA!!!!
Now you have a new friend in Argentina!!
Saska, my sister-in-law is from Paraguay and she drinks mate all the time. It is VERY strong and what they drink lots of time in place of coffee. They each have their own special mug with matching straw both made of some kind of metal. They pack the mug with dry mate with the metal straw in it, pour in boiling water and let it steep and drink from that. It is reused several times before the leaves are poured out and started over. I definitely could not get a taste for it. My SIL was born in Paraguay but spent most of her life in Argentina until she met and married my brother and now lives in the US.
And loved seeing your wheat pictures yesterday!
