Shame on you. I NEVER misplace anything at all. I believe in a place for everything and everything in its place.
Except that it's never the same place twice in a row. I think I must put it in a safe place so that it will be where I can find it== hopefully in the next year or so. Once for nearly 36 or so years. It'll be lovely when I finish it, in the next year or so when I find it again.

tomorrow
Actually, I already made my granddaughters dresses for next year. Found the shirts, slips, tights and bows on sale on Christmas Eve. Now, I just need to put them where I can remember them next December.

I start right after Christmas. The month of December I pick out what I want for next year cause I catch the awesome deals on clearance Christmas Material that goes on sale right after the holidays! Need to save ever penny so this way I get my fabric cheap..yet I am allowed to change my mind! LOL

I will start in January. I try to do at least one quilt a month, and then a whole bunch of smaller stuff after Halloween. Never seem to have enough done. I did one Mug Rug from an antique lace handkerchief for my daughter and it turned out so pretty, I think I may do some of those vintge lace pieces this year. Who knows? More ideas and intentions than I will ever have time to do

Well, for the married couples in my DH's family, we draw names. I have the tops pieced for the next two years. just need to make the backs, quilt and bind them...lots of time, right? I must confess though, they are courtesy of 2 block lottos I won at my LQS this past year!!! :thumbup:

Haven't been quilting long enough to plan quilting projects for Christmas however I was only thinking it would be an idea to quilt a few gifts for next year last night so if all goes to plan I will do just that this next year.

Maybe next week-I usually make something for my 2 nieces and my sister. In the past I have made pillow cases, wonder wallets, this year mug caddys, knitted washcloths with their initial and for 2011, I think place mats and matching napkins. I hope to get started by the end of January-of 2011 and be done on time!!!
