I made a quilt for one cousin. the other two, I made pillows for are done. I just need to put the label on the quilt. the pillows, I posted (Jeanne posted) the pictures of the pillows. they weremade with yo yos with pearls in the center, and bridal lace. very pretty and on the large side.
Next year, I have a tablerunner already done. They are all getting tablerunners. cheaper to mail too. I'm open for suggestions if anyone has a great idea. Also making ornaments, Urban threadz has a lacy sailboat, i'm making them too for gifts this year. last year, I did lacy reindeer.

I'm doing table runners and messenger bags. (Have a bunch of guys to make things for.) Just finished a table runner (small) for my sister-in-law with Xmas on one side and Easter on the other. Looking for some other things to make as well so will be reading this thread for ideas too.

How about little keyring pouchesmade from thicker felt? Is a link allowed with the how-to-do?

I'm making some Christmas pillows and some Dresden table runners. I am crocheting the second of three christmas afghans, and I have two birthday quilts to do and two christmas quilts plus a winter rag quilt. If I survive all that, I want to do some mug rugs and crochet some hot pads.

I just finished the 10th table topper for all my friends for Christmas, whew! They are all Ohio State University themed but all my friends are crazy about OSU - this will work. Here are two pictures to share - the front and the backs. Back to quilting Christmas presents that have been asked for grandchildren.

For the kiddies I made monster zipper pouches. I made one like this for lunch money and one larger for pencils and things. Then I filled them with pencils, erasers and treats. The adults all do a white elephant, so I made a pair of pillowcases.
