Been working on gifts for the neighbors - each will get a mug rug (San Francisco Stitch Co.) a vanilla jar candle and a tin of home baked goodies. I have 4 more mats to make... Do you think that will be enough?

As Mr. Rogers sang on tv, "Won't you be my neighbor?" What lovely gits.

I think the idea is lovely, like the designs and more is less sometimes. They should appreciate all you items and the wonderful efforts you've gone to. :~)

Thanks. I figured since I'm not sure of their decor likes and how they "do" the holidays, I figured tone on tone would be the best bet.

Thanks, Chris! You have much more experience at pleasing others with gifts than I do, so I will now let out a sigh of relief. LOL

The San Fran mug rugs you have here are not real real quick (as opposed to the 15 min minute mats) and homemade goodies take $$ and lots of time if you made a variety. There is the tin to put them in...sooo my comment is they are some very very lucky neighbors!

Thanks so much! Yep, these certainly aren't the "minute mat" variety - they used 3 bobbins each.... I wish everyone acknowledged the amount of time, effort and cost involved in hand made stuff like you do.

I think each item itself, would be a nice neighborly gift, but combined is extremely nice! Over the top! I love the tone on tone mats and the design is awesome. The shape of the mat makes it look like pages of an open book. My daughter plays the fiddle/violin... need I say again how much I like these?-lol-I'd love to have you as my neighbor!

These will make a fabulous gift! I love the stitchouts! I have had people buy my mug rugs just for the purpose you describe...a candle or coffee cup and some cookies gift. Your neighbors must be special.
