    No quilts this year, maybe some quilted items. All my loved ones have all the quilts they can handle. Guess I'll give donation quilts for Christmas.:)

    I've been buying gifts since February. I found a great sale on Coach wrist purses and wallets for 50% off. All my girls will get one of those and if I don't buy anything else so what... I can put money in them and call it done. And Sears had a great one day only online discount on the four drawer rolling Craftman tool chest for $49 marked down from $289!!!! I bought my son in law, two older stepgrandsons, and DH one each. I'm really done shopping except for the 7 year old. I will make some quilted purses and totes for the girls and probably some tablerunners. My oldest has asked for the fabric clotheline bowls but she wants them huge! Like a laundry basket. I don't know if that's possible. We don't exchange gifts with relatives, just immediate family. I do give gifts to my quilting friends.
