Time saver tip :-)
PIF = Pay It Forward. Whoever starts it says something along the lines of "I will make something for the first 5 people to comment on this post. All you have to do is repost this and promise to do the same." So instead of paying for your gift, you are paying it forward by giving a little gift to others.
I google image search a lot for quilting inspirations. I actually used my microsoft word to print off the letters I needed for the applique. The vase was drawn free hand after looking at some online.
