No. No handmade gifts this year. I always have good intentions, but I'm horrible at following up on them. Maybe next year!

Granddaughter J is getting a totebag -- she picked out the fabric, so I know she'll like it. Granddaughter B is getting a small quilt for when she's in her car seat or stroller -- it will be just the right size. The adults will be getting mug rugs. -- soparkaveataoldotcom

I make more birthday presents through the year because then they are spread out with not so much of a time pressure trying to do lots all at once. I have made a few though including bags, cushions, and lavender sachets. x

Martina said...

Yes, this year it is a small sweet bag you can hang at a door knob to keep your handy or keys or other small things ready to go. I will fill it with a little homemade goodie.

Margie Scott said...

This year I made small quilted mug rugs. To complete the gift I added a pretty mug, a tine of gingerbread cookies and a packet of hot cocoa mix. That should keep the chill away on these cold winter mornings.

Chiska said...

Yes, I have a relaxing neck pillow and a mini snap wallet. I'm hoping to finish a wall quilt, but who knows!

Karen M said...

I didn't make anything large this year... only coffee cozys, mug rugs, zipper bags. I get in over my head sometimes and struggle to finish things in time. Thanks again for the beautiful towels!

Tracy said...

Yes, I made some pillow for my son to match the quilt I gave him last year. In fact he got the pillows a little early! I flew to visit him in Colombia where he just moved. While setting up his apartment he kept looking at pillows, so I gave them to him so he wouldn't buy any! They were a big hit!

I'm embarrassed to admit it, but I will....I made not homemade gifts this year for anyone. Some people in my circles are not quilt people - even modern. They don't even like quilted tablerunners or things of that nature.
