Terri,
I absolutely LOVE your aprons. Thank you for the pattern, BUT...
You know, a gift from a good friend means SO MUCH :-)
I think your gift for MIL is right on spot, she will love one she wears every day and will love your effort.
I like the idea of giving a gift to charity of your choice in honor of your relatives...beneficial to everyone involved and doesn't have to be expensive...I know that Gideon Bibles will send each person a thank you note but doesn't list the $ given, or American Cancer Society, probably PetFinder or ASPCA or USO...your fun is endless. Habitat for Humanity and Heifer Project International, heck maybe even the Peace Corp!
Have fun with it, maybe send some to places they would hate (like the Democratic Party if they are Republican)- if you want to be evil :twisted:
