Oh, I LOVE that idea for any occasion! Sometimes I think homemade gifts arent well recieved because the recipient doesnt care for the colors (not their favs, or doesnt go w/ their decor), or the design. But, if they can pick what they would like made, esp at a later date when they can digest the meaning of homemade (hand made, crafted, disigned, created especially for -) they understand how much the giver really cares about them. And, even more, maybe a card that says at a later date they can turn the card in for free quilting lessons! sharet
