Memory gift suggestions
Love this group because of the creativity that’s here. Thought I would pick your brains and see if I could get some help.
A longtime friend of mine lost her husband not quite a year ago but on the anniversary of his death, she and I will be traveling overseas. I would like to have something to give to her that has a yellow rose theme. Obviously there isn’t a lot of packing room in a suitcase so it needs to be something small. Does anyone have a suggestion?
Thx. Happy quilting.

One of those expensive soaps in a yellow rose theme that is both pretty and nicely scented. Was going to suggest that if you wrap it in a heavy paper, that will help hold in the scent if you don't want that to give it away in advance -- but they don't always like even little packages wrapped going through customs and such, so maybe just a manila envelope that can be peered in.

How about instead of a yellow rose, get the pieced ribbon block for a yellow ribbon you can embroider his name on. Once you have the block done, you can make a zipper pillow casing that just needs a pillow form when she gets home.
