Wow! Are you way ahead of everyone, or what? Congratulations! I am quilting the quilt I made my hubby last year for Christmas.

That's quite an accomplishment!! Do we get to see pictures???

Gail B 10-09-2012 04:15 PM

All finished my Christmas shopping as well. We don't really have a choice because we celebrate an early Christmas with our kids & grandkids on the Canadian Thanksgiving (Oct 7th this year) as we head for Arizona the end of October so we are not with our family for the real Christmas. Not quite the same doing it this way.

Tothill 10-09-2012 06:24 PM

Can I send my Christmas lists to those of you who are done? I already have someone on the board making me 6 gifts for family.

I can send homemade fudge and candy.

Pat625 10-09-2012 09:05 PM

Show Off!!! LOL..guess I better get busy!

Jim 10-09-2012 10:22 PM

WOW wish I was that far ahead...congrats

busy fingers 10-09-2012 11:25 PM

Now that makes me feel very slack indeed. Well done to you being so organised.

JulieR 10-10-2012 01:12 PM

Congrats! I'm super jealous and I'd love to see some pics. I need the inspiration!

Raggiemom 10-10-2012 01:34 PM

Congratulations! I should have my stuff one by Veterans Day, if not before. I'm feeling much less stressed this Christmas!

Amythyst02 10-11-2012 03:24 AM

I would be gloating too, but sadly I am not nearly done....

Scakes 10-11-2012 03:30 AM

Congratulations on getting so much done. I used to do that but the last couple of years, I have gotten way behind. I think I am getting sidetracked by my retired dh. LOL.

sewnsewer2 10-11-2012 04:08 AM

Oh goodie, now you can come help me!! LOL Congrats!

rj.neihart 10-11-2012 04:36 AM

Great to hear! I prepare all year long - don't always get it all completed, but do the best with what's available.

lpsewing 10-11-2012 05:54 AM

How amazing are you,enjoy the season w/out any stress !

Caswews 10-11-2012 06:29 AM

<snarling> working on Christmas gifts !LOL See how ya are, making the rest of us wish we were all done LOL OH well, along with quilts I am sewing clothing for each granddaughter (then had a machine break down- bought a Pfaff Ambition 1.5 -It better not break down !LOL), so that is my getting things done. But it will be a joy for them for Christmas as I haven't made them any Christmas and school clothes in a while for sure and they will enjoy it ..

matraina 10-11-2012 06:33 AM

Can you come here and help me with mine?

kbishburg 10-11-2012 06:42 AM

Now, I'm really depressed (LOL). I just realized I would be away from home for most of November and December so I have to really get moving or give up on a couple ideas. I am firmly committed to two (big) projects so I'll endeavor to finish those. One is an advent calendar and the other is a lap quilt to be auctioned off to fund a holiday party for my husband's AIDS clinic staff. problem is, i can't quilt while away unless it's small and hand work only. Part of the time, I'll be crawling around Maya ruins in Honduras and Guatemala!!!

c joyce 10-11-2012 06:44 AM

Way to go...if I looked in mirror right now I'd be totally green!

nena 10-11-2012 06:47 AM

You go girl. I am working on it, but still 4 gifts away. I could send you a couple of mine. lol

AZ Jane 10-11-2012 07:30 AM

Just one more, if it doesn't do me in!!!!

RedGarnet222 10-11-2012 07:32 AM

Oh Dear! You are so very smart to have it all finished this early!

linkd 10-11-2012 08:27 AM

Was this for this year or last Christmas? Congratulations from someone who is still working on Christmas 2008 (or maybe one from the previous milenium)

carolynjo 10-11-2012 09:24 AM

Congratulations on your energetic finish to your Christmas gift-giving. I haven't even thought about that yet.
