At Kimberbell, we believe that saying, "I made this for you" is the same as saying, "I love you." This is true for the macaroni necklaces we made for Mom in preschool and it's still true as we create truly beautiful gifts on our embroidery machines!
As Mother's Day is just next month, I wanted to share some Kimberbell projects you can make for your moms, sisters, friends, and other lovely ladies in your life.
#1: Easy-Peasy Quilted Baskets
Part of Kimberbell Curated: Citrus & Sunshine, our Easy-Peasy Quilted Baskets are made completely in-the-hoop. These giftable baskets are perfect for kitchens and countertops!
