Terry was my winner with PIF.
Here is what I made and sent.
A folder cover made with lots of 1" finished half square triangles.
And on the inside you can put your patterns, WIP in plastic sleeves, pens.... Whatever you like.
I know Terry was happy with it BUT
Mmmmm the postage.... $30.... that is what you have to accept when you take part in overseas giveaways and swaps. It is a pleasure to share our craft....
These were the rules

It is exquisite, I'm sure Terry will treasure your gift... despite the horrendous posting fee ;)
Really lovely gift for Terry and yes I know how expensive mailing can be overseas .
I love it and will think of you every time I see it! And yes...postage overseas is crazy expensive.
My goodness. That is quite an accomplishment with all those mini triangles. I hope the recipient knows the work that went into this.
Your gift is beautiful and I am so impressed with creating something so lovely from tiny triangles. Fabulous! Postage costs are quite ridiculous - same in the UK and NZ. Such a shame because it puts you off sending anything anywhere! Some of the swaps I took part in a few ago I wouldn't now because the postage would be horrendous.
Hello Jo,
What a wonderful gift for Terry. I am always careful how I package gifts now. You don't realise how much a padded bag weights until it comes to post it. I usually re-cycle postage bags. The plastic ones are good to turn inside out and put a label on.
Happy days.
Bev.
Congratulations to Terry. You did a beautiful job with the cover.
