I'm starting early this year too. We moved last year and so I didn't get to sew/quilt as much as I wanted and after we moved to our new house I couldn't find anything anyway. So this year I am starting early to plan and then get with it. Lots of pillowcases and some quilts and maybe some quillows and whatever else I find that would be a great gift. My daughter in law is hinting for table runners so that's a good choice. MY problem is that I see so many things I want to make and can't decide and by the time I have chosen what to do, I don't have time to do it!
