We have a family tradition of making our quilts. Some get a quilt, or hot pads and ,aprons. Our men enjoy grilling so they get a chefs apron. Some of the men from work get a nice patchwork pillow. I am very into trying the mug rug, Candle mats. Telephone notepads( can be patchwork with a note pad and pencil. We have made housshoes for a lot and a box of homemade cookies is always welcome. One year a cousin made homemade bread for each of the men. One year I made the men robes from double knit and put satin patchwork pockets, belt and a initial on a satin patch . They are still being used tody . You can do it.

my family also expect something handmade each year
and the ladies' club to which I belong have told me that they all hope that I get their name as there are only two of us who do hand work......
my quilting and the other lady does cross stitch.
I am sure that most everyone would appreciate something you did just for them.
although there's always one........but I would not concern myself with that.....the majority would be thrilled.
I am making lots of mug-rugs for my son's friends......
I also have the pattern for coffee cup wrappers but that's still on the drawing table...... they are really adorable.....
I have made some Christmas placemats and table toppers..so I am ahead of myself this year......
..but you wanna bet I will still be sewing right up to the big day?

Saw a Singer machine (v. old) at our church yard sale. Price $40. Tried to find info on age and according to number on front, mfg.'d in 1924. I may be wrong. Sound like a deal? I am not interested for myself, but if good deal, would pick it up for someone. What do you think?

Lynnie, a few weeks ago someone posted on here thoughts on a bog coat. I didn't bookmark the post but did go to the website and printed out the instructions. it is the quiltercommunity.com/Wc8f13c1a1f8b9e.htm
Looks pretty simple and probably inexpensive, to boot.
