At the end of September when my sewing machine was still in repairs, I told a friend of mine that I was feeling "withdrawal" symptoms. The next day she brought her sewing machine over and told me: "It's not fancy at all but maybe it will bring you some joy!"
I didn't know what to say. This was just so thoughtful and wonderful of her...
Well, fast forward to now and I am ready to bring it back to her. But how to say thank you? I racked my brain and remembered that she admired the table mats that I made for a friend of mine last Christmas. So I looked at my scraps to find some that suit her and here is what I came up with:
But how am I going to wrap this up? I don't have a box long and thin enough to fit these four place mats!
I tied a white ribbon (salvaged from another present a long time ago!) around each of them...
... and wrapped it in red tissue paper with some blue scrap paper and tied another ribbon around it! Pretty enough :-)
I hope she will enjoy them as much as I did when I used her sewing machine! :-)
Take care,
Me
