I know from personal experience, that when I receive something from someone that their own hands have created, it brings with it, encouragement. It tells me "I have been thinking of you, praying for you. I care. I value you."
I received such a gift myself, just yesterday, so I know.
The rug pictured was just that - a gift of encouragement. The dear lady to whom it was sent has experienced a multitude of health challenges and painful disappointments. My response was to create a rag rug for her.
It is my way of saying, "I care about you." I named the rug, "Gloria Rose"...it reminded me of a rose garden. May it always impart the fragrance of the Savior's love to Gloria.
