You all are way too ambitious for me!! I haven't made any handmade gifts this year. Well I have made American Girl doll clothes for my granddaughters. I've been working on UFO's all year and none of them are appropriate for Christmas gifts. A couple of years ago I did make quilts or throws for everyone and I'm still recovering from that!! All of your quilts are absolutely gorgeous!

Yes, I am making bed runners for the dear friends and family. I made 7 of these (actually started out as an OSU quilt and the DH decided he wanted more of grey/white than all scarlet...sigh). I used the new OSU fabric and my own design.They can use them to snuggle up in the recliner, a table cloth for their Orange Bowl Celebrations, or really a bed runner. Here are is the picture of 4 of them.

My daughter in law loves everything Christmas, and having bits of Christmassy fabrics from last year, I made her a quilt. I'm just in the practice stage of quilting, so I had it longarm quilted.

I am giving our DGD a quilt for her bed, if I can get it quilted in time. I got the top made before shoulder surgery in May, so my ability to quilt has been sorely tested; and I'm just now really getting back to quilting. I also plan on giving quilted wall quilts to my DS, DDIL and DDIL's parents, as well as a couple dear friends. I also have an order for 6 placemats from DDIL's mother, and I'm hoping to finish a lavender "Princess" dress for DGD for Christmas. Great plans, but I'm running out of time, although I do work a little better under pressure. Fingers crossed, I will finish them. Next year I'm starting earlier and hopefully will not have surgery in my future for next year, 2 years in a row is enough, I'm due a break.

I have shipped two quilts. I have three more quilted, two ready to go on the long arm and one I just cut out. Looks like I should be sewing instead of on the computer, hum.... I would post pictures but my kids haven't shown me how to do that yet, or my three year old granddaughter, they know more than I do about computers. lol
