Table runners for son to match his quilt (one side christmas flip side material from his quilt), pillowcases for grandkids and kids, quilt for DGS and one in progress for SIL. Really just took it easy and spent yesterday shop hopping around and cleaned sewing room ready to finish 3 WIP's. Happy New Year!

Made 2 quilts for the grandkids, a table runner for a friend, pillow case to match DGD's quilt, one to match DGS's, and helped granddaughter make pillowcases for her brother and Mom and Dad - all matching quilts (Mom and Dad got quilt last Christmas).

I made pillowcases for all the grandchildren again, LOL, I make them for them every year. The one year I told the older ones I wasn't going to do it they begged for them. Then I made a quilt for DD, and another quilt for DDIL, and a quilt for our son for his wedding. I think I am tired! LOL

This is the first year I actually gave something quilted as a present. I made 4 lap/wall quilts using HOw the Grinch Stole Christmas fabric. Super happy with how they turned out. I machined quilted them with a curvy stitch and variegated thread. Big step for me - but great results. Huge hit!

I had not made any gifts for this past Christmas. I am trying to finish a Christmas tree skirt for me. A couple of wall hangings for Winter. I also have quite a few projects waiting to be quilted. Ugh! But the quilt studio is clean and next is the closet WooHoo! I love that others are making gifts it makes the holidays more what they should be. Luann

I am really impressed with all the things you all made. I made some pot holders but didn't get finished with all of them. I am going to work on more tomorrow.
I did some tatting while at my mother's house. I made bookmarks with different patterns for small tatted hearts.
I have a few more Christmas gifts to get. My DS and DD and their families and I have our Christmas sometime in January because of everyone's schedules.
