I am trying to use up my Christmas fabric so I have been making Christmas quilts for my family. I am on number 26 now. I got 3 quilted and my Q'nique 15 went on the blink, got that fixed, got 2 more done and it quit again. I am starting to pull my hair out!!!
While my machine was being fixed I got all the backs, binding and labels made. So ready to go when it gets working again. And I still have almost 2 full tote of Christmas fabric left I am also making felt ornaments for everyone. I make the same ornament in different colors for everyone each year, but different ornaments year to year.
I have to add that I meant I have the quilt tops done but only 5 total quilted.

Having no little kids in the family anymore....everyone has been downsizing ….I haven't even put up a tree nor done any decorating for years.....we even stopped gift giving preferring to have a meal and play games instead....it has been very nice and peaceful...this year will be different as the family will not gather....I may finish one Christmas wall hanging I started years ago as I am trying to learn ruler work on a domestic machine and this wall hanging has been "almost finished" for years while I was trying to decide how to finish it. It even is somewhat quilted together by stitch in the ditch in some places but I need to do a bit more....I do make quilts for the family and last year at Christmas I had made a bunch of scrap flannel lap sized quilts and everyone got to pick one. I actually do not like to make holiday themed quilts very often as I like to make quilts that can be used most of the year. Years ago, I did a bunch of lace snowflakes for the tree on my embroidery machine and my sister has decorated her tree with those for years....they are very pretty

Have one twin quilt done for nephew's daughter (combo Christmas and graduation); a table topper for my sister with matching hot pads; a cattle wallhanging for BIL (needs facing); a US map wallhanging for middle g-boy (needs facing); a table topper for nephew & wife (still on quilting frame); a quilted address book for DIL; and I'm waiting on pattern to make travel bags for neice, DD and DIL--so "almost" there!
