Besides ideas, I've sewn 20 coffee cozies, made 2 dozen eyeglass holder straps and quick things. I'm in the process now of trying my hand at making one of those covered tv tray ironing boards for a couple of gifts. So no quilting projects in the process for Christmas gifts but those things made are for office co-worker type gifts. I purchased a few items like a boy's comforter set and a boy's twin sheet set from Ross which will also be used as a Christmas or Birthday gift (which ever comes first). So Christmas crafting and such is in full swing in my household. It's an all year long process as many things are shipped out-of-state for gift giving.
