Well, if you consider the ones that were maybe supposed to be for 2013 Christmas. . .
|
Yes I'm still in the planning phase though. I am going to make a Christmas wall quilt next week; it's one that I just didn't have time to do for 2013.
|
started redoing a quilt top I had made and hated for my sister.. and all year I think of the holiday or I simply can not afford it. so little bits here and there... five quilt tops in progress and 8 ufos to put together for next Dec deadline that many better start right now!

great, now we're getting into the spirit. we know it's coming, so why wait till the last minute.
besides, now is the time to get Christmas fabric dirt cheep. 70% plus off, we're making it for practically free. |
Our LQS had a big 25% off sale New Years Day, and just about everything I bought was with next Christmas in mind. I have not started anything yet, but will as soon as I finish the quilt I am working on now!
|
I'm starting early this year too. We moved last year and so I didn't get to sew/quilt as much as I wanted and after we moved to our new house I couldn't find anything anyway. So this year I am starting early to plan and then get with it. Lots of pillowcases and some quilts and maybe some quillows and whatever else I find that would be a great gift. My daughter in law is hinting for table runners so that's a good choice. MY problem is that I see so many things I want to make and can't decide and by the time I have chosen what to do, I don't have time to do it!

My goodness - you must be a very organized person. I'm still working on putting away all the Christmas "stuff".
You have inspired me to at least start thinking about it. |
I've started knitting dish cloths for everyone. If I don't make them at least every two years everyone gets upset because they like them so much.
|
My Christmas 2013 sewing plans were derailed by some foot surgery that took longer to recover than I expected, so I am finishing up two gifts, which I AM going to finish up by 2/1! Then I want to start on the small gifts I at least put on a list to make: lined bread cloths, fabric ornaments, pillowcases and some placemats. Lynnie, you're so wise to start now, IMO, so you can enjoy the process without the stress!

went to joanns today to buy some backing for the quilts for Christmas. last week the fab was 70%, today 60%, couldn't bring myself to buy it at that price. I know it's only a 10% difference, but when you buy yards, it adds up. so I won't buy till it comes back down again.
did by Valentines day fab, working on that tomorrow hope to have it in the mail by Saturday. then I can get back to Christmas. I used to have a calendar with a countdown till Christmas on it. Let's all get a jump on it with the sle prices. Glad to hear some of you are joining me. |
