Beautiful baskets of fabric flowers in a variety of floral arrangements are lovely ways to evoke the freshness of spring throughout the dreary winter season and ex- press thanks for hospitality. Many women on the gift list are experts with crafts such as needlepoint,, cross stitch, embroilery and knitting. But all too often their pre -holiday energy is used making gifts for others.
