Heather received her package yesterday so now I can show you what I sent her! I had so much fun putting this all together.
Something Chocolatey: Chocolate Charlie, it's made here in South Bend and is only available during the holidays!
Bits of Fabric: She has 3 boys already and is pregnant with a girl, so I thought a charm pack of Bliss would be nice. Very girly.
Something Homemade: I tried my hand at a wonky star. I put three of them together and they made the cutest table runner. I used Christmas fabric but not so Christmasy that it couldn't be used other times.
Something Unexpected: I put together some homemade Christmas cards for her to use. I actully added 2 more to the four shown in the picture.
And I threw in an ornament just for the heck of it :)
Table runner
Close up of a star. I just did some simple quilting around the star and around the frame of the quilt. I love the scrappy border :)

Hey Mom!......look familiar?
My Mom made these sweatshirts for us girls about 18 years ago! How I ended up with both of them I don't know, but I know I kept them for something because 2 kids later I knew they would never fit! Well...
With a little cutting....
a little interfacing for stability....
a little pinning and sewing....
they are now my newest Christmas pillows!
The design itself was closer to the neckline of the sweatshirt than it was towards the bottom so the blue one didn't have enough material at the top of the design for it to be centered on the pillow, but I like the way it looks :)
