Every year I give my children and adult grandchildren a small quilted gift along with our regular gift exchange. I have done Christmas table runners, spring table runners, hot pads. I would like some new ideas as to what to make them, 12 in all.

Did you see those twister Christmas Wreaths? They are SO easy and fast.

How about quilted totes or maybe quilted grocery bags? Or how about checking out some quilted holiday ornaments or journal (or other book) covers? I think there are tutorials for all these on the web.

Gday, are any of them sewers, you could make them thread catchers, takeaway mug holders, Xmas Bon Bons, Carry bags, throw Pillows (4 pillow fights good to get some frustration out,LOL)is that of any help. I am also starting on my Xmas presents. thanks for the Topic cause now i will keep an eye out for the ideas coming through to. :) :)

what about those coasters that overlap over the base of wine glasses.

ohh....I like those :D

sleep boxers or pants, pillow cases, seasonal wall hangings, quilted laptop totes are big and those i-book or kindle covers.... :)

Last year each of my 5 GS's got a body pillow with a personalized pillow case. They really loved them.

What is a twister christmas wreath????

Here is the link with the picture of the wreath :D

they're very cute. i've made several gifts from this pattern.
everybody likes them and really gets use out of them.

edit: i always give sets of 8 to cover all bases.

Have you made them Christmas stockings that are monogramed and specialized just for them. Or maybe a quilted scarf. I have a pattern for houseshoes that I'm going to make this year.

If you like pm you address and I will send you a paper copy. I'm going to personalize with name on the top of the shoe.
