    Default New Sewing Projects For The Holidays

    I just got my connecting Threads mailer and I see that they have lots of interesting ideas for Christmas-Chanukah gifts. I particularly like their pattern for the 90-minute poncho pattern on pg 17. What are some of you making for gifts this year?

    I have on the ready, butcher aprons and a couple couch quilts. I thought about hot pads to go with the aprons, but I will finish the things I need to first finish and then think about those.
    Oh, I have a quilt top ready to finish for a diabetes charity event I need to get on. It is due in the beginning of december.

    Am assuming you bought the 12 days of Christmas set, but she also has some other lovely patterns. Some of them would make beautiful collectible ornaments or even a tree topper. Thanks for the link and another great idea to add to my growing "to do" list.

    I"m working on 3 quilts. Two for my cousin's adult children and one for my dear friend who I adopted my Loki from.

    I'm making calendars with pictures of my quilts for each month this year. I did it about 10 years ago, and they were a hit. It's a good way for me to remember quilts I've made and given away, too. I will also use orphan blocks to make some hotpads for neighbors, perhaps with a loaf of bread to go along.

    I purchased a panel with a giant stocking. It can be used as a gift bag or hung by the chimney with care in hopes that St. Nick will fill it to the top! I have the Santa in the Trees pattern in the works.

    I'm definitely interested in what new things you are sewing! Sometimes people don't need things anymore and it's nice to surprise them with something they didn't expect that they actually love!

    I’ve been doing pillows and table runners for years — usually appliqué. Think I may switch it up this year and make candle mats.
