Colourful Cuzco!

One of the hardest things about living overseas is the regular flow of people leaving. In a month I say goodbye to two precious friends (one thankfully will return in a years time), and these small gifts are my way of thanking them for their friendship and the encouragement they have been to me.

Linking up with TGIFF (which is hosted by Alyce this week) and Sewjo Saturday. And this is my second finish for FAL 2014 Q2.

    These pouches are wonderful and such a great gift for your friends. The hand stitches add that extra personal touch, and love the label.

    Gorgeous! I love Cuzco, in fact I made a whole quilt out of it, alternated with plain charm squares :-) Hope you get some other nice people coming your way soon.

    A handmade gift is a perfect farewell present - these are also unbreakable and easy to pack. Did you make the labels yourself?

    So sorry your friends are leaving. A part of you ( and Kate Spain!) will be with them. Love this idea! Thank you for linking up to SEWjo Saturday!

    Very sweet gifts, and I love Cuzco!

    On a side note, this happens to me often - someone I follow on Instagram also has a blog and it takes me a loooong time to figure this out sometimes! This is the case with you....glad I finally found your blog!
