It'll help you tie the threads of your friendship even closer. Instead of a gift card, make her a label with the sentiments you would have put in the card, with the intention that she can include it in her quilt.
This is a good one! Definitely worth considering!
Thanks!
You mentioned you often don't buy the local fabric due to the cost, so this would be a treat for you too! Doesn't mean you have to buy a lot ... as there are lots of mini quilts and other projects that one could do.
