Thinking about it, maybe I should make something that looks like a Christmas tree, then just hang it up on Christmas Eve when I have family over.

I make seasonal wall hangings, table runners, placemats, and for just about every holiday. Maybe it's because I used to make them for my church's annual Holiday Fair, however, I like to change things out, although I admit to maybe more Christmas and fall, but I make lots of the others too, now mostly for me and gifts.

I have gone overboard I'm sure with table runners, but here is what my goal is, to make a table runner for every week of the year. I'm almost there with about 37 to date. I have them in see through containers and labeled so I can easily get to them. My husband thinks I'm a little crazy but I'm not worried one bit!

The halloween WH's are spooktacular.
|
I have made several table runners. A Christmas one flips to one for patriotic holidays, and another Christmas one (breakfast room table) flips to Thanksgiving. There's one with Easter appliques that has just a plain floral back. Another fall/Thanksgiving one flips to Halloween fabric. They are fun to make and are good as hostess gifts, too.

I have two large quilt hangers in my living room, and I try to change out my quilts on them with the seasons or any other special thing that suits my fancy
|
Well I have a fall maple leaf quilt, I have a Christmas log cabin, I have a pink and purple Irish chain we use it at Easter, I have springy flowery quilts yep I make seasonal quilts, now though we use them at church to put on the piano during that particular season.
|
I make all kinds of holiday and seasonal quilts and wall hangings for my DD and her family. Seems like almost all of my quilts go to them. But that's what I enjoy! When I make a baby quilt, I like to design them to depict the holiday or season of their birth.

I have a quilt hanger in my family room that I change every month. If there's a holiday in that month, the wall hanging if holiday themed.
September is just apples |

Donnajean, You have done some beautiful work!

I have made seasonal quilts of approximately the same size. I love to change out my displayed quilts to match the different seasons. For holidays, I stay with smaller projects, table runners, place mats, and small table toppers. Also make many holiday themed quilted items for gift giving.

Your Christmas one is lovely. Beautiful. Love it.
|
I am also one who doesn't decorate for holidays. I do however have a weakness for pretty bright pastel Easter fabrics and now have a stash of those for no reason. I have some Christmas fabrics also that I probably will never use. I think about using them to make gifts, but my quilts are comfort quilts so holiday fabrics don't seem appropriate for that.
I think of passing on the holiday fabrics, but I love the Easter ones so much, I have a hard time parting with them. How silly is that? LOL, Hugs and smiles!!! |
My goal is to make sure each of my 2 daughters have a holiday quilt for each one!!! Xmas, Halloween, Valentine's Day, Spring/Easter, Fall/Thanksgiving and Summer. I have also done table runners for holidays for my daughter with 4 children. That keeps me busy enough not to go find other projects including anything for me!!!

I have right now 8 quilts that I have made in various sizes to cover up a fireplace I do not like in my living room. My goal is one for each month. Right now I have January, February, March/April, July, August/September, October, November and December. My plan is to have one for each month of the year. The quilts depict the month in which they hang. I have a Christmas quilt and put it out on my rack in the dining room during December.
