A friend's daughter is starting all over. I thought that just because she is starting over, doesn't mean she shouldn't have something nice. So I made her a few things in green - her favorite color. She thinks I am only sending her pot holders! Hoping it is a nice surprise. She should receive it on Tuesday or Wednesday.

Thanks again everyone!

First, sorry to Highlander mom, I posted my comment in her window before I realized I had erred. / What a lucky person. She will truly feel special and loved. You did a beautiful job on each piece. How nice to have a friend like you in her life.

She received this package yesterday. She has thanked me over and over and over again! Also said she loves me! :) I am sooooo happy that she likes it and that it will help her with starting her new life!

I love the quilt and all the other items.. What a great job you've done. They will all be very much appreciated, I'm sure!! :)

Thank you so much everyone for your kind comments! Doing something nice for someone when they least expect it - and it puts a smile on their face - that is what makes it all worth it for me! This is what really turns me on!!! :) The 'Heart' pattern is called "Give Your Heart". It was a handout I got at a class when we were living overseas. Sorry, I don't know where to get it. The other is the Binding Tool Quilt from Jenny Doan at Missouri Quilt Company - which is very easy. Thanks again!

OH My These are just too beautiful!! She is going to feel so very loved when she receives these. I can't believe how thoughtful you are, and how wonderful she is going to feel. As someone who has had to start over myself, I know how much your expression of support is going to mean to her. Thank you, and may God also bless you :-)

How sweet of you. I know she will enjoy for sure! You went all out!
Great job

All stunning .She will love them

Oh, my goodness........what a wonderful friend you are.......this should give a good start to her new beginning......beautiful items!

I am sure that all will be appreciated. All the items look lovely. Well Done!!

You have a big heart and your generosity is overwhelming. I know this lass will appreciate your gift.
Best wishes.

What a loving and fulsome thing you have done for your friend. I had a friend who had lost everything in a fire and said she wouldn't wish it undone because she found out how wonderful and generous people at her church, neighbors, friends, Salvation Army, and even total strangers are when times are tough.

Oh my goodness! How wonderful! You have outdone yourself! I'm sure it will be all loved and much appreciated!

Well What a Surprise it is going to be!!!She will Love it!!!Great work done...

You have been a busy girl Eileen, I'm sure she will love everything. G

These pieces are stunning!

Love it all you have done a great job. Thank you for sharing
Happy Stitching!!

Everything is fabulous! Do you know the name of the scrappy heart pattern.. I would love to make one for my niece.

It is called "Give Your Heart". It was just a handout I received in a class when we were living overseas. Sorry - I don't know where the pattern came from.

Oh my, you're such a kind lady. She will love each and everyone one of these. It will make her feel so special. I bet their will be tears of joy.

Your random act of kindness will be greatly appreciated and long remembered by her. Your gift to her will be an experience that, as she goes through life, she too will step up with kindess to those who need a helping hand. Your work is fabulous and she will think of you whenever she sees it in her new home.

A wonderful friend you are and what beautiful gifts. She's lucky to know you, with your beautiful heart.

What an awesome new start! And what a great friend you are!

What a kind and gracious person you are taking the time to do all these wonderful projects. God's blessings on you both!!!

you have done a beautiful job on everything here & I'm sure she will love all of her blessings! You have a big heart. It's like Christmas lol~hugs~

These are all so beautiful....she will be overwhelmed by your love and grace...

Wow! from beautiful potholders to a very beautiful ensemble of gifts made with love! She will be so excited! You have really done an exceptional job on everything. I like your label about the significance of butterflies. Did you also know that the color green signifies among many things: growth, renewal, rebirth, freshness, harmony. So perfect for your dear friends daughter who is beginning again! Green is also my favorite color. Thank you for sharing the lovely gifts you made.

Thanks for the info for the color green! I will have to tell her this the next time I talk to her.

What a kind and loving soul you are. She is going to be overwhelmed if she has any idea how much work has gone into these beautiful things. She will certainly know how special she is to you.

Eileen, be prepared for a call with tears of JOY! What a thoughtful friend. Likely gave you a lift just knowing the joy she will receive.

I just hope she is not like my DIL who never calls or thanks me for anything I make for her....

by Shisha 21 Jul 2015

No, she is not like that. I have met a number of people tho like your DIL! Sooo sad that a simple thank you doesn't exist for soooo many people!

These are gorgeous gifts - they will certainly lift her spirits!

Lovely work, you are very generous. She will get strength from your kind gifts. Starting over is never easy.

I'm stunned by your talent, and your generosity. Gorgeous.

Absolutely fantastic all of them - I know she will be overwhelmed by your generosity. Well done, love Chris

A job well done. Boy they are big pot holders....lol

She will be so thrilled from someone special to someone special!! Good work

Beautiful work, from a kind and loving heart. I am sure she will be as touched as all of us are by your thoughtfulness and skills. Starting over is difficult no matter what age or reason.
