Does anyone have a small Christmas project (besides potholders) that can be made in a few hours? I don't seem to be in the quilting mood but am sure in the sewing mood, so would appreciate any ideas. Thanks to all of you wonderful women!! :lol:

What about mug rugs I am taking eight inches of material adding a nice border then sandwiching with batting and backing quilting then binding it buying a mug to match making a quick present in about ten or fifteen minutes

this one i used a five inch piece with a three inch border

How about pillowcases, slippers, or sewn hats and mittens?

You can make tons of stuff in just a few hours! Table runners, place mats, coasters, baskets, boxes, wall hangings...
They sky is the limit.
If you feel like searching for a project by topic... I'm a bit of a list maker!!

I think I need to change the page name to thousands of links... I have been accumulating more and more..
When any of my friends or myself want to make a project, I go and scour the web, looking for the perfect idea and I save my results for everyone for later :D

Google the "Ten Minute Table Runner" and print the pattern. They really go fast. No batting and no quilting. Wonderful done in Christmas fabrics. Only four seams per runner!
