      When i was a baby, i was given a handmade blanket by someone ive never met to this day. I'm 28 years old and still sleep with it :X! Its my most treasured and favorite handmade item, and now that i've learned to crochet, my appreciation has only grown. I only wish i could thank the person who made it, they have no idea how much it means to me.

      My favorite handmade gift was an afghan we received as a wedding gift. It was made up of wide strips with beautifully cross stitched flowers on them, which were joined together with an open work crochet design. I didn't realize until years later when I learned Tunisian crochet, that the wide strips with the cross stitch flowers on them were crocheted not knitted.

      My most precious gift received was a "prayer quilt" that my sister's church women made me when I was very ill a few years ago. Each time they formed a knot in the quilt a prayer was raised to,God for me. And, He did answer! I came through a very difficult time by His mercy and because so many people were praying for me.

      My most favorite handmade item (technically not a gift) is a birthday card that my husband MADE for me! It was so precious! He came into my craft room when I wasn't in it and used my rubber stamps to decorate the card. I thought that was awesome! Mind you, he is not crafty at all! I still have it hanging up and it was from years ago!

      My favorites are all the handmade items from my children from school. The picture magnets, Christmas tree ornaments, paper clip holders, etc. now that I have time I enjoy making them crocheted items. They all especially like afghans.

She is a left-handed crocheter and crocheted me a beautiful cream-colored afghan in a half-double crochet in back loop only stitch. She didn't think I wold like it since I could crochet myself one, but I absolutely love it because she made it specially for me. (P.S. I seldom ever make myself anything, especially not an afghan).

      The favourite handmade gift that I've received are the personalised quilted Christmas stockings that my Mother In Law made for all of the family. They are so detailed and gorgeous!

      my favorite hand made gift wasn't even made. I got gifted with the yarn, the pattern, hook and all the fixings along with a note that said this was a gift for both myself and the gifter. I got the fun and satisfaction of completing the project and then returned the completed item to my sister. A definite win win for both of us.

      A dear friend made me a large envelope filled with smaller envelopes, one for every week that each had a hand-made card with a meaningful, encouraging quote or bible verse. Her gift was truly from the heart and lasted all year!
