Count me in please, and I am ready to start as soon as I pick up the last of the xmas debris.

Although I probably won't be using Christmas fabrics, I'm up for doing a Christmas project each month - more along the lines of getting a gift done each month.

If tutes are included, I may or may not use them. I just need the motivation to get something done!

I'm going to be doing that myself.

Sounds great .... I always end up with way too much terrific holiday fabric that goes into a large box (or two) waiting for "next" year, or the year after that & so on!
AND I love other people's ideas.

You gals think the way I think, seems I never do have time to do all the Christmas projects I want to do but this way we could get at least 12 done. LOL

I have a seperate plastic bin for Christmas material, and of course MANY patterns I like. I also like to put my own kits together so that when I'm ready, I don't have to search for things. So today I was planning on straightening up my room, and I shall organize some of my stash and patterns so that I'll be ready to go.

I have been wanting to make these napkins. I think that might be a great group project some month.

Sounds like fun...I already started one Christmas project for myself...so count me in.

Where can I get the pattern for the round napkins? They sound cute!

Hey this is a great idea. I was think about something on the same line, personally. I'll be glad to join ya'll

Karen

that sounds like a good idea..i do the same thing every year..

yes i would like to do that...i also do the same thing every year.

I am sure there are other sites on line, but these are a start. I have also seen them made with a half circle- a big fabric saver and same effect.

Thanks so much!

Yes, I'd be glad to sew along with you doing a christmas project every month. I bought tons of beautiful Christmas fabric this year and never had time to use any of it. We can also use any fabric we want to make presents for Christmas. I'd really like to get going so I can enjoy the Christmas season next year and not be sewing my fingers to the bone up until the last minute.

Yes, I would like to join this group.

Do we start at the beginning of the month and our deadline is the last day of the month? I may be the only one who needs a deadline!!! LOL :lol:

let me know when we start and on what.

I'll try and give it a go ... I didn't do so well with the 15 minutes a day challenge:(

Sounds good to me!!!I have 5 baskets for M-F that I keep different projects in and work on them on that day of the week---been thinking about making 1 of those days a Christmas Project day!

I like this idea....then I don't spend the month deciding what??? to make. :roll:

Count me in, I have UFPs to finish and odds and ends of Christmas fabrics.

If anyone needs some inspiration I just watched a slide show of things that riversong has done. You will have enough projects to last for 2 or 3 years. Not sure how to tell you where it is located, maybe do a search on the quilting board site. She has lots of fantastic projects.

K, I like your idea of the baskets. I think I might try this. Have you done this for a while?

I have been hit with that project too! When we went though the Christmas boxes looking for the stockings and tree skirts and seeing that they were in a pretty sorry state candy was left in the kids and that was just gross and the fact that my daughter has a new husband we decided well my daughter decided it was high time for mom to make new ones!
So I would love to join in! A stocking a month, tree skirt and table runner. But since I'm doing them I pick out how I want the tree skirt and table runner to look like! Sorry daughter of mine! Old fashioned wins out!
This should be fun. Just hope I can pull it off, you know how busy life gets!

sounds good, but ....

Here is the link to the thread regarding Riversong's photos:

Lots of great ideas

What?! What!? Shut down the board?!!! I need my "fix" everyday.

Love this idea, it may actually work for me.

The idea of actually being accountable to someone to get a project done each month sounds intriguing to me. Please count me in.

Hi,What a great idea,not sure I could keep up but it would be fun to try.Your picture on the site is beautiful,I just love it.Let me know what you are planning by Private message as I just can noy get on live chat anymore? I have slow dial up here in VT. ,it is so slowwww.Amazing Grace

This is a great idea and I'd would like to try it. Maybe less manic come November and part of December. Actually have a bunch of things done. Like Grace A, I have dial up too and some days it is like a snail running up hill. Neat thing about this monthly project is there might be new craft ideas to share and do.

I wanna join - do I just jump in - we start in January 2011 right?, not far away - gotta go get some sell fabrics, so I'll have enough. I see a tree skirt for me, runners for siblings, wall hanger for DD and ..........

Me too.-- As soon as I finish this years Christmas gifts. Still finishing one quilt. This year, I vow to learn how to FMQ!!

Sounds like a wonderful idea. Doing something each month makes it less of a big project.

I would love to!! I have a ton of Christmas fabric that I have no idea what to do with.

I'm willing to get a few things done early. Count me in!

Sewing next years gifts as I type. Already have 3 (all the same) started.

sorry but I have so many projects to start for next Christmas, I won't have any spare time.

I'm interested! Keep me posted please! :-P

I would love it. I need to start early for Christmas!
