PIF recipient Ann from Enbellefrance emailed me a fortnight ago and asked if rather than send a gift to her that I donate her gift towards the Bushfire Relief. After a few emails back and forth we chose to donate some sewing goodies to a fellow stitcher. Tomorrow I will be sending a package off to a member of the Victorian Quilters Guild to give away.
Imade a sewing caddy, covered tape measure and scisssor fob (an OPAM finish for Feb!)
and included, some calico, two fat quarters, tin of buttons, cotton thread, dmc threads, pincushion and needles and pins.
I hope this small gift helps someone as they start to rebuild their lives! Thank-you Ann for giving away your PIF gift.

What a wonderul idea!
I'm sure there is a lucky lady who would love to receive this gift!
How sweet of you both to give these beauties to someone who can use a little extra just now.
Oh my goodness that's cute! What a lovely present for some poor stressed out seamstress. Did you have a pattern for that or did you make it up on your own. If there's an online tutorial, please post the link or email it to me at gentle_poster@charter.net It would make a fabulous gift for my secret pal.
Thanks so much,
Susan

Hi Jo,
you're just too good for the world, and Ann too! I love what you made, the sewing caddy is gorgeous & the reipient will be more than happy.
Hugs, Julia
You can feel free to do the same with the PIF for me. (I had already sent my PIF's out a while back as I knew I was going away otherwise I would have made an extra for a Pay it Backwards ;-).)
Good on you, Jo, what a lovely thing to do for someone who has lost everything. She will love it!
What a thoughtful idea and such lovely items .
