I made a Christmas tablecloth to go on my round dining table, also a runner for a buffet.

I've made the "ten minute tablerunner" which took me 1/2 an hour but it's really easy and could be a great gift!.

If you have a lot of green. I saw a really cute wall hanging Christmas tree.
looked like it would be easy to do.

Love this idea for Christmas gifts this year for family members and I have plenty of time to get them done

Great ideas - thank you. Can't wait to get started on several of these projects so I can delete some stash. Without a doubt this board is the best sharing community that I know!

I used up BOXES of Christmas fabric to make Christmas Stockings for our Deployed Troops. Simple, one layer of fabric on the back and front, with or without a cuff -all are OK. FMI: http://www.operationcarepackages.org

See info, below:

Any type of material is fine. As are embellishments or plain. I would just ask that you keep in mind we send to thousands more men than women and usually do not have near enough for men.

Crazy Quilt style is fine too! Thank you so much for your continued support.

What a wonderful idea!

Another gift idea for the ladies and maybe teens, make them a simple Christmas Vest. Patterns have more than one size printed on them...and vests don't need to fit perfectly.

If you want to make quilts and have larger prints MSQC has fast and easy quilt patterns. My absolute favorite is the Double Slice Layer Cake. It works well with larger print fabrics. Quilts go together in no time. It sounds like now you have lots of great ideas. Can't wait to see your projects!

Me too and I've picked a great bunch of runners and toppers to make for gifts. Also am making two tree skirts. Plan on doing many stockings for the new members of our family. I have started on my Christmas sewing, a new plan for me as I usually wait until November and then end up sewing like a nut. I also picked up some tea towels on sale at Missouri Star Quilt and will fussy cut some and applique them to the towels. Whatever you decide, have fun as that is what quilting is supposed to be.

Gift bags or pillowcases for children's hospitals at Christmas time.
