I have made my second Pay it forward gift and
Amy has now safely received it. Amy makes lots of beautiful things on her blog and has a knack for putting really pretty fabrics together so I tried to use fabrics I thought she would like. I made Amy the Kite Tote designed by Charise Randell from the
Playful little paper-pieced projects book. I also made her a necklace which was a kit from
Close to my heart and found her a fat quarter cupcake. Charlie and I made ourselves a necklace each too from the same kit.
Charlie is back on Saturday from the mission trip in Vanuatu. That's her below - in sunglasses, third from the left. It sounds like everything has gone well and they made two water pumps for the villages. I am so looking forward to seeing her after her two weeks away with very little contact. I am going to make her favourite home made ice cream as a welcome home treat! Wendy xx
