i starting making lap quilts for my family which grew to 40+ quilts. i got half of them made so far.
this year i am giving cookbooks and handmade potholders and oven mitts. the book binders are plain half sized office binders that i will cover in fabrics of my choice and fill with these wonderful recipe cards that my local culinary store prints and sells. after seeing that apron pic, i may consider throwing 1 or 2 of those in. my family and friends love my handmade gifts as it is truly something that comes from the heart.
