A few more pictures of this huggy basket other than those I showed on IG...
I thought I was crazy to decide to sew this entirely (from patchwork to quilting to binding) by hand given only three days to complete it. But when I finished the last stitch, I was so overwhelmed with satisfaction. It's not a perfect piece of sewing. But I really love it a lot. Every stitch was filled with gratitude and appreciation for the loving and caring teacher who deserved this heart-felt present.
She dropped me a message that night, saying she was very touched because it's the first time she received a handsewn present.
It made my day so much brighter that my fingers didn't feel sore anymore.xxx
Wynn,
This is just lovely! So sweet of you to gift it to your 'teacher'! Teachers are the ones who usually don't get the gifts because everyone always feels like their work won't add up (I always feel like that when I want to give something to Elnora who has helped me endlessly!). What a great way to show her your gratitude!
