Dear Friends,
God bless you, your loved ones and your ministries this day!
Have you ever made a gift for someone that thrilled them?
Eliza Jane carried her new little purse that her mother and I made for her everywhere she went after we gave it to her. She is a darling three year old with blond hair, green eyes, pearly white teeth and two dimples in the same cheek! Her smile would melt the hardest of hearts!
We made the purse in my quilting class at church this morning. Nicole, our daughter-in-law, a.k.a. Eliza's mommy, had never sewn before, but always wanted to learn. She chose some cute cloth and we whipped together a little bag with a simple nine patch quilt pattern on each side and two little handles. We didn't have time to line it, but three year olds don't care about linings in their purses. Eliza thought it was as perfect as could be!
As a child I received many such gifts from my mom, grandmother and aunt. It feels so good to be all grown up and passing on the tradition of making handmade gifts for my own little ones! I remember how good it felt as a kid to receive those gifts, but it feels even better to make something with a loved one, for a loved one and have them both be delighted!
Love, Sue
