CRAFTIER THAN I THOUGHT

I'm not usually very crafty, but over the weekend I found a framed piece of quilt in a rustic frame and I knew it was perfect for my Mom, who's a quilter. I added a few sewing things to it and voila! Instant (albeit very late) Mother's Day Gift!

Those little metal corner pieces came from an Emperor clock kit. The buttons, needles, lace, and hook and eyes were yard sale finds. I figured they might come in handy some day--and they did.

I have something similar to this hanging in my laundry room and for years my Mom has admired it. She's asked me to find something like it for her. I'm glad I could put all these elements together and hope she likes it.
