I am making my DH another quilt, and curtain for the window. I will also make a wind draft to put at bottom of window. I am still working on our anniversary quilt. I will probably make some more pillows with the pieces of fabric I got from an upholstery shop. Gorgeous fabric and elegant.

Great answers! Can we show more pictures??? I would love to see what you're working on!

I might make my dh some shirts or I might sandwich and quilt one of the tops I have finished. I just don't know yet.

HOPEfully finishing a fishing quilt for my DH ... or at least giving him the completed TOP to see ! LOL Don't usually sew much for the guys. Made them fleece throws and matching pillows for their pro /college teams a couple yrs ago ...

I am making a quilted wallhanging for his office with his favorite brown chesapeake bay retriever on it. The pattern is from Debbie Mumm's "Bowsers and Meowsers." Can't wait to see if I will be able to finish it without him knowing about it!

I am making a wall hanging of a loon. He just loves them and does have an empty wall space in his bathroom downstairs.

How about a set of pillowcases to match the sleep pants (I love the pillowcases Jenny makes at Missouri Star Quilt, they're super easy and look professionally tailored). Everyone is getting a pair from me (some with other gifts and some just the pillowcases).

Some slipper gripper fabric on the soles, and some old very thin fleece for the wadding (batting) inside (between the denim and the lining). Very Cozy. I have about 15 pairs cut out so far, but need to get a move on if they are all going to be finished in time!

Do you have a pattern for these, sounds like something I would like.

Robe, PJs, mug rug or, in my case, quilted gag! Just kidding.

Favorite sport team (hunting or whatever) fleece throws are always welcome & BBQ aprons for those that cook. I'm making camping themed pillowcases too this year. I'm going to watch this thread...for more ideas.
