Yesterday I assembled care packages for all 3 of our children turned adults. I saw a quilting friend at the post office and she asked if I was mailing quilts. Unfortunately, not! But if love can travel in random pieces of 'things that make me think of you' than at least our 3 will know they are missed and cherished beyond measure! On the sewing front this week, a quilt block and a thrifted linen dress turned crop top trimmed in yo-yo's. It occurs to me that life is a care package to open and celebrate everyday! Cheers!

you have been getting so many projects done!! what a thoughtful mom you are!!! Packages from home are the best!!!
ReplyDeleteYour children turned adults are so lucky. I am sure they will feel loved.
ReplyDeleteI used to love receiving care packages from my mum when I lived overseas .. not much sewing was sent but Vegemite was! Yum :)
ReplyDeleteThose parcels sound lovely, I'm sure they'll make 3 days. And I love your idea of yo-yo trimming, I'm going to remember that for thrifted finds for little ones. Really like your butterfly in the quilt block too, is it a piece of cross stitch?
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful butterfly block, Jessica. And dressing up the shirt with the yo-yo's was a fabulous idea! Care packages will be such a wonderful surprise!
ReplyDeleteLove the sweet sentiments for your children! I feel the same way about my 3 oldest. Before I know it, my 2 littles will be grown too :(
