    Default Need Christmas gift ideas...time to get started.

    So, last year I made each of my kids (3 families)very detailed tree skirts.
    Year before that I made each (6) of them lap quilts.
    Once I made each family a Christmas table runner.

    Now what? I like to stick with the Christmas theme as that way I'm not
    interferring with their particular home decorating style.

    Stockings, ornaments, or wall hangings with a wreath theme.

    As others have posted, I've made them stockings, tree skirts, Christmas quilts for each of the grandkids. I'm about done. Maybe table runners -- good idea. I made my DD a quilted jacket last year. Just had the sweatshirt in the box and we picked out the fabric together. She loves it.

    I know if I could figure out how to do it I would love to have a quilted card hanger for the holidays. Most of them are those not so cute metal things that look like well long stick of metal with clips. Have thought for years now how to make one but I have very limited skills for anything crafty.
