I have been listening to Christmas music, does that count?

I've finished three Advent calendars for my daughters. Ordered Jake and the Neverland Pirates fabric for my grandson's cape/blanket....still thinking about quick gifts for others.

Four of my quilts have been done as Christmas pressies for my grown up children. My youngest was just given her one when I finished it though she hasn't seen it in the flesh yet as she's been in Australia for the past five weeks visiting her older sister. I got some lovely fabrics for trying my hand at table linen for other gifts. Not sure though how I will get on with these. :shock:

I have decided on the pattern for a lap quilt for my DDIL and will shop soon for the fabric. It's pretty straight forward and shouldn't take too long. I also want to make my daughter a table runner and place mats, but I haven't decided on the pattern yet. I'd love to make my granddaughters something like pjs, but I'm not sure they would be appreciated. Will continue to think and plan.

Lap quilt for my mom, placemats for my aunt and two flannel blankets for my grandkids. I'm new at this so we'll see how much I can get done by THIS Christmas! LOL

So far this year ( for christmas ) I have made both of my daughters each a queen size quilt for their beds. My son in law a full size quilt, my youngest granddaughter a queen size quilt, and my soon to be married granddaughter a queen size wedding quilt. Wedding is in Nov. I am working on an appliqued Christmas Tree Quilt now, for myself!!

I feel like a real slacker!!! I'm hoping to make minkee-backed quilts for 3 of my grandchildren. Eight-yr-old granddaughter has been spending some time with me this week and next and I let her sew some seams. I think she's hooked!!. She wanted to see my fabric so I showed it to her. She immediately spotted her quilt (even though it was inside out) and asked if it was for her, because of the hot pink binding. I told her I was sorry, but it was a donation quilt. Younger brother gets an Ï Spy"; and haven't quite decided on older sister's. I'd best get busy!!

I had big plans at the begininning of the year. There were 4 large lap quilts I wanted to make and thought I'd have time to get them done. BUT I have to downsize and have been trying to get rid of 20+ years of stuff. I haven't sewn in 2 months. I'm moving in Sept. and hope to be organized enough to start sewing again by Oct. If I really push it, I may get 2 done for Christmas. I'm proud of myself, though, because I've already bought 3 gifts. They were just perfect for the recipient, so I had to get them.

I have finished 2 quilts for Christmas gifts and have 4 quilts at the LAQ. Tonight, I am sewing the binding on a quilt for Christmas. I have 2 tops here that I need to quilt myself. I have plans to make several other quilts as Christmas gifts. Last year, I didn't get my quilts finished in time so this year, I started early.
