In earlier times when I had children at home I would be finished by the end of October; everything hidden away. Sometimes I would hide something too well and sometimes someone would receive a really nice sweater in July when I found it again !
I just give cash now to DG's......will probably make something for grown daughter's......My SIL's Mom will crochet me something so I think I'll make her a lap quilt.
Since I'm a new quilter I might try my hand at a couple of wall hangings too....
I used to get really excited about the holidays and would spend a lot of time choosing just the "right" gift and decorating...guess age and dwindling family has taken its toll.
