I have 5 grandsons ranging in age of 7 to 12. I have given them all rag quilts, quilts, embroidered pillowcases. I've made ninja turtle ornaments for them this year, but completely lost on what else to make them. I'm not really good at clothes. So I have been scanning this post for ideas. This may be a year they only get the hand made item of ornaments from grandma. Just at a loss for them.

I'm making coaster sets with fabric boxes for gifts this year, I had intended to have these done over the last Virtual Quilting Weekend but after finishing the 5 aprons I was working on, I had a request for 4 more. I'm totally aproned-out now. lol I did two tester coasters and cut everything for the others, the fabric in front will be for the boxes to put them in. Since they're heading up to the frosty north I figure they'll remind folks that Spring indeed will be coming.

So sorry to hear this. Hope you heal quickly. I had both knees replaced about 5 years ago.

Great idea Cari. I have only one pack 'n' play sheet.
Sewgranny1: WOW. Gorgeous quilts and lots of ideas. Want to adopt me : )
I am making a set of 25" Raggedy Ann and Andy for my one month old DGD. Her mom always loved them so she is getting them a little late : ) Also plan on making two name banners, approx. 5' x 18" for the two grandsons: 3 yrs. in Nov. and 3 yrs. in Feb. They will have a train theme with engine, three flat cars and a caboose. Each flat car will hold a letter of their name (ELI & ZAN) I made one for my DGD when she knew her letters but not how to spell her name. It is here:

Sew much to do................sew little time!
