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.

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.
