    Hi Lisa and Sarah! Thank you so much for the gift ideas for sewing friends. I have your book and have picked some ideas from there as well. I treasure the beautiful stitchery bag you sent me along with the adorable hedgehog pin cushion for the online bag exchange years ago now. I hope all is well with your family.
