quilts, placemats, purse, table topper.

I have so many presents to give every year because of hubby's work. This year I am planning to give to the office women a small Christmas decorated terra cotta pot with a herb in it along with a purchased pot holder that I've sewn a pocket and added a scratch pad and pen in it. Couples and famiies are geting a "green" bag filled with items for going green like clothes pins, family game, etc. I'm finding that every year I'm doing more of these type of gifts for couples/families like baskets filled with useful things instead of individual gifts per person.

I make placemats and napkin set, as well as Christmas card holders, christmas stockings and lined baskets filled with "goodies"

I wondered about this coffee mug organizer pattern! Thanks for the heads up!

I'm planning placemats and napkins for the ones that will use them, spicy spiral table runners for others.....and a quilt for a sweetheart who graduates from college right around Christmas time. Whew.....
better get off my computer and get quilting! :mrgreen:

i've done all the above, plus with myson we've made hot cocoa mix in jars with spoons dipped inchocoate, towels with names or strips of fabric, homemmade doggie and kitty treats, google this stuff for recipies. for his 1st grade teacher, he made a pointer that looked like a pencil out of a dowel, bath salts, google again with washcloths, homemade cookies, breads, brownies ect. bookmarks with stickers for preschool teachers, stamped brown paper bags with potato stamps for gift wrap,

Can I be on you all of your Christmas lists? lol

So far I have made some slippers (crocheted), and pillow cases for BF's Mom, and started a set of pillow cases for DD, and her BF. I think they will be getting HM snacky food items from me, they dont live close by, so I will send enough so they can freeze some. Still need more ideas!

I got a late start this year, so no time to sew. Making the Quilted Star ornaments.

Gorgeous ornament.
