I seldom give handmade items to family anymore. The ones I like each have a quilt I made. LOL. Of course my kids and grands get first choice of the quilts and projects I finish during the year. I do give hand made items to my sewing group pals. This year I'm cutting hexies and hex papers to put in a kit for each one. One kit will be civil war era fabrics, one 30 area, one brights, one pastel, one batik and one Christmas. Each has a favorite fabric choice. I cut the hexies with my Go die and the papers with the Fiskar punch. It's fast to do and all I had to do was buy a jelly roll of each theme. I putting in lots of extra papers. And to jazz it up even more I bought very pretty lightweight patterned scrapbooking paper to match each fabric theme. I think they will be drooling! I put a lot of thought into the kits and I know they will love it.
