http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-67707-1.htm I should have put this here

I wondered how many more have started making Christmas gifts...was talking to a friend this morning and she has recently made 4 quilt tops for gifts...coming here to use my ping pong table to layer them....lets hear what you are all making...

Just found this idea for pocket handwarmers on the Bernina site. Takes about 10 minutes to make a pair, here come the stocking stuffers!! Happy sewing!

I would love the pattern for the tissue box holder. I will PM you with my address if it is still available. Thanks

Great idea. I will be sure to post ideas when I come across some.

One good idea is instead of using wrapping paper, make fabric gift bags to wrap up gifts. I have been doing this for about 8 years now and it's surprising but people remember the gift bags each year, not the gift LOL Often I am given the bag back, so I can refill for the same person the next year :mrgreen:

I can look for some specific websites if anyone is interested.

I do own an embroidery machine. Plus as an added bonus, I can also digitize my own designs. If you are wanted something special embroidered, please contact me privately and we can work out a barter situation I am sure. :lol:

i love your mugs they aer so cute

Has anyone made these hand warmers? How long do they stay warm?

I have made handwarmers with rice and they stay warm about 1/2 hr

I used to have the kids use them in the morning while waiting for the school bus! (The hand warmers), they are so great for COLD mornings!
