You are some lucky lady to receive Gail’s PIF present!

The bag is lovely. I always wonder what PIF stands for, as I've seen it several times now. Is it like a Secret Pal? I especially like the little tag. I guess small things amuse small minds, and it is a very cute finishing touch to make the gift even more special.

Lucky lucky - the bag is beautiful. I was looking closely at the stitching - for ideas for school!! (you know, "craft at work syndrome!!)

Hey Chookyblue! How spoilt are you, getting Gail's pretty pressie!! Her gorgeous, neat stitching makes my stitches seem like elephant stitches, but it's always fabulous to see what she comes up with! Aren't there an incredibly talented bunch of designers working in Australia at the moment!! And how lucky are we crafters to take advantage of that!! Bear Hugs! KRIS (Tag Along Teddies)

Wow! The bag is so gorgeous and I just love the matching tag. I'm a big fan of Gail Pan's designs - how lovely to have something made by her.
It sounds as though you have some pressure on with the three quilts. Good luck!
