Ok, I am wondering how many here have completed Christmas projects? We always think at the beginning of the year we are going to do this, at least I do. Here it is almost July! Before I know it, it is November and nothing done and set aside.Ok, I want to hear from you, maybe this will inspire us to get busy on these projects for the holidays!

Does this mean ordering from a talented QB member and setting it aside...... Check.
Other projects before Christmas 3 Baby quilts, @ wedding quilts, sister quilt and DH quilt for Christmas.

This would be a good time to get going! Wouldn't it??? Does anyone have any ideas for small projects? I usually make an ornament for each of my ten co-workers. Last year they each got a mug run and a little stuffed animal ornament.

Maybe I could make some fast lap robes. Our office is usually freezing any time of the year... ha-ha, I answered my own questions... I could even look for some panels. I have one person who already asked for a Harley quilt...

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have several items made for Christmas so far...Waited too long last year and it was not fun rushing to complete things. When I finish with the sewing end I will begin on making the cards. Hopefully I will be able to relax during the months of November and December.

2 pictures painted, 1 quilt started.

Well, I've not completed it yet, but I am finishing the hand embroidery of a block with a cardinal sitting among evergreen branches. It and another one (that one's finished) will be included in a table runner for my mama who loves cardinals nearly as much as I do. :D

I do this every year like you...And then at the last minute I am in a panic, spending countless hours not sleeping trying to get it all done. And every year I say I am not doing that again. So once my sewing room gets completed the first quilt I make is going to be my brothers gift for Christmas. I want that one out of my way. Cause this year if its not done by November, it will be waiting another year.lol

I have several items made so far.

Here's a Christmas Tree Wall Hanging I completed and gave to my son today:

I'm working on some baked potato bags now.

Can't wait to get started on the Spicy Spiral Table runners. Got the ruler and pattern for Christmas last year, so I could make them all this year. Yay!!!!

Two table runners are started. Not sure I am finished selecting fabrics. There may be some changes. So it is laying out on the flannel side of a table cloth. I can fold it up and take with me for others to view or to check the closet at the quilting room to see if I find something else to use.
Made lots of items for the church bazaar so far, but the bazaar may be on hold.
Baby quilt in progress for the bazaar, also.

I've got one quilt almost done for one of my daughter in laws. All it needs is the binding.

I just finished a great big quilted stocking! I just wanted to get it out of my "to do" box. I also cleaned out a couple of ones I don't want to finish. At least, the box is a little emptier....does that count? I have also started a wall panel for my computer gal who could charge me lots more but has a big heart. Plus, I have been making Santa 9 patches for several years and I will be putting together at least 3 of those for Xmas presents. One more..top is all finished on another one I was going to give away but I might love it too much. Finally, I am working on a paper piece tree...got the papers all done and fabric selected so that is a good start for me.

LOL -- I was just wondering why I decided that I want to do a fabulous patriotic table topper for the fourth -- and it's a week away. Sigh -- last year I started Christmas just before Thanksgiving and got sick Thanksgiving Day. You would think I would learn to start early.

Gee, I intended to make Christmas quilts or such and put away. I kinda got side tracked with 2 quilts for Weddings in May and July. Then I made a quilt for my soon to be dil and for my sil for their birthdays in July. Now that all that is done, I want to concentrate on Christmas items. I have some Christmas ornament balls started and I thought I might embrodiery some kitchen towels. Some Christmas aprons might be on the agenda, along with some small lap quilts I am thinking.

I have a stack of throws ready for Christmas and lots of potato bags ready for presents. I also have started making jams and jellies for presents. Made a huge batch of strawberry jam yesterday.

I am usually doing things at the last second. I think I work better under pressure. but I have gotten some done. I made a bow tuck purse for DIL and have four more to make and also got some pillow cases done for GD and hope to do a bed runner to match

Working on cutting out a rather large one this weekend. Hand-appliqueing one that I have been working on for a few years....
