Ok, I am wondering how many here have completed Christmas projects? We always think at the beginning of the year we are going to do this, at least I do. Here it is almost July! Before I know it, it is November and nothing done and set aside.Ok, I want to hear from you, maybe this will inspire us to get busy on these projects for the holidays!

This would be a good time to get going! Wouldn't it??? Does anyone have any ideas for small projects? I usually make an ornament for each of my ten co-workers. Last year they each got a mug run and a little stuffed animal ornament.
Maybe I could make some fast lap robes. Our office is usually freezing any time of the year... ha-ha, I answered my own questions... I could even look for some panels. I have one person who already asked for a Harley quilt...

I have several items made for Christmas so far...Waited too long last year and it was not fun rushing to complete things. When I finish with the sewing end I will begin on making the cards. Hopefully I will be able to relax during the months of November and December.

Well, I've not completed it yet, but I am finishing the hand embroidery of a block with a cardinal sitting among evergreen branches. It and another one (that one's finished) will be included in a table runner for my mama who loves cardinals nearly as much as I do. :D

I do this every year like you...And then at the last minute I am in a panic, spending countless hours not sleeping trying to get it all done. And every year I say I am not doing that again. So once my sewing room gets completed the first quilt I make is going to be my brothers gift for Christmas. I want that one out of my way. Cause this year if its not done by November, it will be waiting another year.lol
