And you could add you were surprised to hear she would be interested in one since you hadn't heard from her in so long. Then you could add your appreciation not to pass it around since it's costly with the increase in fabric and to send it out for the long armer. ...That is what I call a ticket to a guilt trip and worth the postage.
