Two of my best friends got married this past June, and I had big plans to make them a wedding quilt. The idea was inspired by the love of the Canadian children's book series Anne of Green Gables that I share with the bride - in one of the books a gossipy but beloved neighbor makes a quilt as a wedding gift for Anne's best friend.
Unfortunately, I can be a pretty big procrastinator when it comes to crafting - a procraftinator, if you will - so I was months behind on giving them the quilt and wanted to send a small holdover gift in the meantime. I had some lavender that I'd bought at the farmer's market a few weeks earlier that had dried nicely, and decided to make them a quick little sachet as a teaser gift, using a couple spare squares from the quilt materials. For an extra touch, I sewed on a little bow using some ribbon and a button I had lying around.

Before I got around to mailing it, my mom came over to our apartment for dinner and I showed her the sachet because she loves the smell of lavender. In a moment of confusion, she thought I was giving her the sachet as a little gift, and I couldn't bear to take it back - sorry Ben and Erika! Thankfully you guys finally have your quilt now.
