I've already started. You never know when something will come up and you can't sew for awhile.

I made two Christmas quilts right after the holidays.
It was still cold and very snowy and I'm glad they are finished now that the sun is shining almost daily.
I made a wall hanging too. Now they are all put away for this Christmas. (unless my daughter sneaks one home)

I think the Christmas fabric comes out in June, so if you don't get it then, you don't get any! :| Ask me how I know! I'm really not in the Christmas mood at that time, but this year I have vowed to get in gear and get some!

I have been making a Christmas in July quilt for the last 4 years, they are for ME!! I make lots of Christmas quilts and other projects for gifts, usually starting in Sept, but I never had time to make Christmas projects for myself until I hit upon the idea of setting July aside for a personal Christmas present from me to me.
