| Back in February, I posted a "Pay It Forward" challenge. I offered to send a homemade surprise gift to anyone who signed up and was willing to offer the same thing on their blog. I only had one taker. I had a year to send the gift, but I decided to do it now because I love patriotic and Americana themed projects. I wanted to put together a box with a few small items that were related to my theme. I started with the dish towels (above) that I hand appliqued. |
 |
| Then, I added these pot holders that I made using applique and embroidery. I added the little flags to the original design just for fun. |
 |
| Next, I made some "flossies" (the little dresses above with the embroidery floss around the waist), a card with fun red and white buttons and some red and white striped ribbon for the recipient to use as she wishes. |
 |
| I put it all together in a smallish box using these fun striped and polka dotted bags. I think this was probably more fun for me to give than for anyone to receive! I sent it off to Pam at thefinderskeeper.blogspot.com. She was quite happy to receive a fun surprise in the mail. Thank you for stopping by today. Please come back soon. -Derrith |

Thanks again! I've already had someone try to sneak one of those towels out ;) The great thing about it all is it can really be used all summer!
