Not really planning to make any gifts this year, other than possibly a runner for a dear friend.

Quilt calendar
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.
How fun is that … do you print them yourself or send off for printing?”

This is probably the first year in a long time I haven't had Christmas projects although I did just order some cute toweling fabric on Etsy to make kitchen towels.
I've been knitting up a storm. Making scarves for my kids and to donate too. Ohio is getting cold. My middle son saw the one I was working on and loved it so I know which one he's getting.

I made one these for each member of my friend quilting group. There are six of us. Connecting Threads has a pattern that looks similar. I don't know if there is enough difference between the two to make a difference.

Onebyone, thank you for that video on cutting bias strips an easier way!
I have not been making Christmas presents this year. All purchases!! It's so freeing and there is no deadline to finish, as with handmade gifts. Everyone in the family has enough quilts. I may whip up some pajamas for the gks if I find I have time, but I've bought enough other gifts that it won't matter if I don't get to them.
SusieQ, I would love to see the scarves you have been knitting! Please post a picture.
