Lots of ideas ...keeping a list. But birthday's come first.
Want to ddo strip piecing,crumb , etc. No feedback yet on GS quilt...but I forgot to ask. Too essily distracted by GSs
chattiness...but I love it.

I've already got a box going - some late arriving on line orders - some quilts not finished in time. My kids give me a hard time about shopping 12 months of the year for Christmas. Sometimes I see something that is just perfect for someone - if I wait it won't be there later. I did have to come up with a system so I remember where I put everything and don't get the same item twice. Spreading out the purchases over the year makes the budget crunch less overbearing in December.

I want to make everyone a quilt this year for Christmas. That would mean making 8 total. I think that might be a little adventurous but if they don't get done this year I'll have a good start for next year. haha

No. Not yet. Although I have some patterns, ideas to get started off to a busy year. I think I might try to sell some this year??

Sure, I've even bought one present. Found the perfect item for a step daughter-in-law. And got some really nice crochet baskets at a good price. I'm going to line them and make bread baskets to hold gifts for some married grandchildren. One can never start too early making or buying Christmas presents.
