Or how about Xmas stockings? There are some great tutorials online for those.
Placemats are always a hit here as well ... love those fabric placemats!
I'm also making tree skirts as gifts this year as well. There are several tutorials online. If you are interested in making them I can find the posts and links :)

I just love this! Think I will get busy and order it. This would make great gifts for the office co-workers or gifts for friends anywhere! How cool! Thanks much for the post! I will try and share some of mine soon!

There are a lot of free wine bottle bag patterns online. Here's a sample of one http://www.sewing.com/projects/uploa...ebottlebag.pdf Connecting Threads also has a free one. The one I use is from an old issue of Quilting Arts Gifts, but I have modified it over the years to make it "mine". :lol: (How come they never call them Scotch bottle gift bags?) Be sure to put a label in it if you want your work to be known. I know most of mine (the bags, not the bottles) have been "regifted" and that's fine with me!

I'm not sure where that would be as I'm pretty new to this site...but here's a link for a thread on CopyKat Chat Forum that gets viewed a LOT!
"Dunkin Donuts Vanilla Chai TEA"

And here's some other threads that mention chai:

[FYI---if anyone likes to check in occasionally on a recipe board, I'm sure you'll find as I did that CKC Forum is very nice, friendly place! :-) ]

Well, I haven't hardly been quilting lately. Yearlier this year I started some potholders and coasters and still have a way to go. So if I don't get busy I won't have any gifts ready. Time is going by so quick and Christmas is almost here.
