Anyone start their Christmas gifts yet this year????
I just finished my first quilt top, it's a Jelly roll.

Any good ideas floating around?
Maybe we can post pics here to inspire everyone, and
to get moving on the holiday we know is coming.

Just have to tell you I love your quote - that is me to a T,

So in that spirit I think I will wait til about November to start on holiday stuff.

Lynnie, I hope that you get a jump start on Christmas. I am so far behind in my quilting list that I may never, ever get caught up. Right now I am trying to finish a small quilt for hubby that was to be his Christmas present. I ended up giving him the blocks! Once that's finished I need to work on the LIST. In between, I hope to get some things made for Christmas. And you're right it is coming....345 days!

Way too much pressure - I give gifts when I have something to give - generally not the holidays!

I'm starting to make some Christmas ornaments. I hope to have everything done by Labor Day!

lynnie

We know it's coming, so why wait?

Lynnie, You are great! I like the idea of getting a jump start! I will try to post in a few days some pics. I got a couple of quick projects that I hope to get started on. I would have to stock up on them for December. I know it is a ways off yet it is wonderful to be somewhat prepared come the holidays!

Actually, I have started on my Christmas gifts for 2014. I have one completed quilt and 2 at the LAQ that I will bind when I get them back. For Christmas 2013, I was working on Christmas gifts on Christmas Eve, so I started the day after Christmas on a quilt for my sister. I do not want to be finishing gifts at the last minute this year.
