I envy anyone who has the talent to turn their hand to making personalised cards and gifts.
So much nicer to receive than something just bought off a shelf.

Mrs Mart has an eye for creating a beautiful card. More like a keepsake. I like them very much.

Does anything go inside the quilted bags? Little gifts? Herbs?

Tell Mrs Mart .. thanks for letting me see her creations. I love the ones with flower buds on.
And lucky friends ... a gift like that is special .. has had thought, time and care put into it. I bet whenever anniversaries are due she's busy.

She has done so many different crafts that it would take a while to show them. I'll photograph some and show them here. She always was quite a careful person when a working girl and applied this to crafts after she was made immobile (car accident).

Cross stitch was the first love and she had the hours to spend getting good at it. Here are a few of pictures she has stitched. They are quite big in reality. Small photos of them perhaps don't do them justice:

More beautiful work! :;smile:

While I wouldn't have the patience - or talent - to do the cards, quilted bags, cushions etc. I used to enjoy cross stitch but never get round to framing it. I tell a lie, I framed one!
