A Gift For The Quilter/Sewer- (When you don't know what to get)

My Mum is a quilter. I'm not talking about someone who has made a couple of quilts, I mean someone who lives and breathes quilts! She belongs to so many quilting groups and is out of the house sewing almost every day not including the house she spends at home.

Recently she purchased a new machine, a really fancy pants thing that looks like it could probably cook dinner as well, which would be great because Mum hates to cook with about the same amount of passion as she loves to quilt. Sadly a trait I too inherited.



So when her birthday rolled around we knew there were a few different feet she wanted to purchase for the new machine. However I didn't want to risk buying the wrong foot so I decided to give the gift of cash towards getting the new feet. I'm not a fan of cash since it doesn't feel like anything goes into it so I thought I would have a bit of fun with feet.

So I took a picture of all the kids feet and added a title like a catalogue.

Samuel's Foot - The Hobbit, since his feet are huge and he likes to eat "elevensies"
Jack's Foot - The Gamer, since all Summer he played games
Elizabeth's Foot - Polished, she had just done her nails
Madeleine's Foot - Petite, I think that's self explanatory
Max's Foot Short and Stout, I love those chubby feet.

Then in Word I created this, mind the photo I wasn't going to blog this but the weather has been crazy hot and I have done a big fat zero.

We heard you wanted a foot. If these are not to your liking please purchase one on us! Happy Birthday Mum.

Then I just stuck the money on.

DIY Delight or Disaster? Well she liked it, she decided she's going to frame it and keep it in her sewing room for her sewing room and the kids liked being a part of Nana's gift. Let's be honest when it comes to our parents anything to do with the grandchildren is bound to be a winner, so lets go with delight.

Thanks for reading,
