Contemporary and unique lifestyle fabrics

Saffrons Blog

A blog about fabrics, designing, ideas and things that inspire me.

Gifts and giving.

Saffron Craig - Friday, November 26, 2010
I really love it when I get a gift that shows that someone thought about me. Thought about my likes, my values, my aesthetics. They asked themselves "will she like this?"
My good friend Kirstin always says I am the easiest person to buy for while I find it easier to buy for her than myself. So yes, you do have to know a person.

So it is a special day when I receive a gift that I am so totally happy with. In this case it was Toni who gave me her book Make it Perfect at the end of the Australian Quilt Market, she  even signed my copy which I truly treasure. And  gave me some great jewelery that I cannot take off. Lucky me!

Toni's book is full of patterns to make into gorgeous things. It's the result of many late nights making patterns and then sewing them up. Organizing her team of testers to construct and make corrections. Toni is one great lady, she gave me some great business ideas and is also very encouraging towards my own creativity.

You can buy Toni's book here.

The first thing I want to make is the slippers when the Beetle Bugs will be here next week and I'll make a pair from the Beetle Wings; yippee!

Thanks for a great gift Toni, it is really appreciated.



Make it Perfect by Toni Coward

When last I spoke to Toni she was busy signing books soon to be posted. If you're quick she might sign yours as she did mine. Makes it even more special don't you think?
