My granddaughter made me a mug rug one Christmas. I treasure it. I suspect that people do not give me handmade qifts because they know that I sew all the time. Fortunately, my daughters love getting getting hand made gifts from me. I have already started some of the quilts that I want to give as gifts this Christmas. I plan to make quilts, pillow cases, hand bags and doll clothes for gifts this Christmad.
