I received only 2 hand-crafted wedding gifts, and I appreciate those far more than the ones from our registries. (Granted all gifts are nice, but knowing there was special thought and planning, and well wishes sewn in with every stitch... well, it makes me melt.)<BR/>I only have 3 rules when it comes to making gifts...<BR/>1. Only craft something for someone that will appreciate it, or will learn to appreciate it.<BR/>2. Don't feel bad about giving your dad a stack of fish fabric one Christmas and a quilt the next--he didn't really understand until the second Christmas.<BR/>3. If you can't do it all yourself, give a kit. There are tons of great kits, or pick out something yourself you know the receiver will love. Giving them permission to take time to work on a project, is almost as good as the gift itself! (Or buy fat quarters and teach someone to sew... that could be a great way to start a love affair that could last a lifetime!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1193684371938474711.post-33083943814164276572008-12-15T06:37:00.000-08:002008-12-15T06:37:00.000-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1193684371938474711.post-5742493284373653062008-12-14T16:10:00.000-08:002008-12-14T16:10:00.000-08:00Hey, real fun!
