Care Packages

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!  Jessica Pearl

  4. Those 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?

  5. What 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!

  6. Love 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 :(
