    Default Some Christmas items I've recently made

    I've been trying to use a lot of my Christmas fabrics so I don't have to store them for another year. I plan to give these items at Thanksgiving so the recipients can use them during the holiday season. Here is one quilt (Warm Wishes) and 3 runners. The first runner is my interpretation of a pattern by Barbara, a fellow QB member. The 2nd two runners I made up as I went.

    Each of my items is scattered liberally with "design choices", so don't look too closely!

    I just finished another Warm Wishes quilt. It is fun to make and goes so quickly. These gifts will be enjoyed.

    Very nice and I like that you plan to give them at Thanksgiving time so they can really enjoy the entire holiday season.

    That's a great idea, and they are very pretty. I thought of doing that too.

    I'm doing the same thing. My DH asked me why I was making Christmas quilts and I told him if I don't now, the fabric will sit around for another year :-) I think a warm wishes is next, so thanks for the inspiration. I particularly like your first runner. Nice job on all.

    Great quilts! I like the plaid you used for the binding of the last runner. That's a wonderful idea to gift these to people before Christmas so they can be used throughout the season.

    Pretty and practical. They will be well loved by their recipients.
