I have vowed to start now as well. My daughter is having surgery next December (2 weeks before Christmas) so she has the break to recover. Since my husband will be left to fend for himself and our two others.... figured I will help him out and have several Christmas gifts done. Plus I want to make my daughter a quilt to take to the hospital with her. I have started one lap quilt for my SIL and an embroidery project for ...whoever...LOL
