I Love Presents, Don't You?

This particular present is for a friend of ours.  We've known her for a long, long time.  She has had some struggles, like most of us, but she always has something good to say.  I love her.

So, I wanted to make something for her that showed her that we love her.  Her name is Joyce.

I included a lot of my special fabrics in this little quilt, including some of the hand-dyed ones.  I did pre-wash them with no problem, by the way.

I also washed and dried the quilt before wrapping it.  Here it is in all its crinkly, wrinkly huggableness (if that isn't a word, it should be).  LOL

I used some of the decorative stitches on my sewing machine to sew down the binding.

I hope she likes it!

And I hope you have a wonderful day!

Hugs and kisses,

Oh, my friend Margaret has some good news on her blog today.  Her granddaughter Abbey was in a terrible auto accident last month.  She's been through a lot, but she is so much better!  Thank God!

Oh, and another thing......if you haven't entered my little giveaway for a tissue holder and you'd like one, please go to the previous post and leave a comment.  Be sure, too, to tell me which one you'd like if you win. ((Double Hugs))
