I love sewing gifts. As a matter of fact, a good 90+% of all of my quilt designs are eventually given away. I find it very satisfying. It does, however, mean that those close to me are continually forced to endure my various homemade creations. I really enjoy looking through all of my quilt patterns to find just the right gift for my special recipient. This is my latest quilting project. I had to come up with some little hostess gift for a friend we were staying with in Atlanta. They are in the midst of building a wine cellar/tasting room as part of a basement renovation and this was my contribution.
