    I was so busy I finished up on Christmas Eve. I made a Sunbonnet Sue quilt for my MIL, she is hanging it, a braid table runner, pillow cases, pj's pants, fleece scarf, thread catcher, ornaments, pin cushion, lunch bag, mug buckets, coffee cup sleeve with a picture holder on it, appliqued Tshirt, 5 hot pads with grandson's hand on front and he colored backing fabric, and a book cover. I think that's it. Every one enjoyed everything I made for them. I guess I need to start earlier next year so it's not Christmas Eve when I finish.lol

    I made 8 napkins for neighbors, bar soap, key chains, a bunch of yo-yo sewing weights for my sister and a sewn together small basket to keep them in, and a rag queen size quilt for my hubby that I didn't get done, so he got to help me design it...LOL

    All the daughters, daughter in laws, granddaughters got (travel) jewelry bags. Also a set
    of 3, rolly nester bags ( with zippers) and sneeze catchers (small packs of kleenex covers)
    They all seemed very happy with them. Not much for the guys. Made a 11+ yr. old
    great grandson a camaflouge pillow case, and 10yr old Grandson one out of a baseball
    print. They had the small accent border at opening end along with then a 4" coordinating
    print border, They really liked them.
    This next year the girls.(mentioned above) will be getting those lined full aprons and I
    think a half-apron. The half-apron...I bought at an antique shop for $2, it was extremely
    'used' but I too it apart for a cheap pattern. I really like it has big pockets, pockets and
    ties and apron all enclosed with coordinating bias tape (I make mine). I'm wondering tho
    if the younger gals will use them much...whocan tell? Also think I will make those luggage
    tags that were on the board several months ago...for 'everybody that flys".
