My Christmas comes early for some of my family members at are family reunion in August and my family memorial get together for my dad in September (this one is just for use kids, mom, my dads sister, and the grandkids). So I made some placemats, potholders, coasters for the women in the family. I have not made anything for the men and children yet because I just do not know what to make them. But I have a brother who is a truck driver which I am planning on making a quilt for him to use in his sleeper in his truck. I am working on getting pictures of all the trucks that he drove from the trucking firm that he drives for to but in the quilt. I have some fabric that has road, street, highways, street signs on it that I am going to use as background fabric for the quilt.

I'm doing a BOM in Christmas fabrics that will be for a Christmas present. It's sampler blocks and instead of BOM, it's a new one each week.
There's some new cardinal fabric coming out in July which I plan on making a lap quilt with. There's also a new fusion fabric coming in July which I'm going to make wall hanging.
I want to make one of those sweatshirt quilt jackets.

I have made a lot of what is already mentioned but last year I made the teenagers those Snappy bags and they loved them. So may make some for the adults this year.

I'm working on two queen quilts, one double quilt, two lap quilts, table runners, mug rugs, place mats and two handbags. If everything works out as planned they will all be finished by Christmas Eve.

I made my oldest daughter a queen size quilt, my middle daughter a full size quilt, my son in law a full size quilt, my youngest granddaughter a queen size quilt with pillow shams, and right now Im working on a wedding quilt for my granddaughter who is getting married in Nov. Now none of these is quilted yet, but the tops are made

I have made midi bags (smaller version of the mondo bag that is made with preprinted interfacing) and snap bags (close with measuring tape), embroidered on kitchen towels, small stockings for small gifts. Have fabric for placemats, more bags, and hotpads.

They are small fabric bags that use metal measure tape parts to keep them closed. There is a pattern available called the Snap Happy Bag or you can use the tutorial on this blog:
