SBQ question – gift giving
November 7, 2007
What proportion of your stitching is for your own personal use versus gifts?
Oooh! interesting question!
In terms of volume, much of my stitching starts out as stuff for myself. I have quite a few pictures on my wall, and lavender sachets in my drawers.
However, when I do make gifts for people, they may be low on volume, but are often high on size and effort. Presents include a 40th birthday present for my cousin which took about 6 months to complete, the recently completed wedding present for my brother (which took over 4 months to complete), a picture for my sister’s birthday of a hot air balloon on which she took a ride the previous year (which only took me 4 weeks to complete), a wedding gift for a cousin etc.
Smaller gifts include the lavender sachets, which I like making up, often keep for myself, but are great little items to have as stand by for unexpected guests/situations
