I only have one quilt that I need to make for Christmas since my husband and I decided that when I finish a quilt I will give them it as soon as I am done for a whatever gift...not a birthday or Christmas gift. That way they will not feel they owe us anything and its a one time gift...unless its for my own children and their spouses and someday grandkitties. I only had one that I need to do for Christmas this year...I am going to be making a Aiice in Wonderland quilt for my future Daughter inlaw.

I am making aprons, pot holders for the girls, I make pjs for everyone (14) and pillowcases to go with them. I don't buy paper to wrap gifts. Pjs and gifts go in pillowcase for each person. Also have been making American girl doll clothes for my gdds (4) and have 2 baby quilts for newest grandbabies.

3 quilts: 1st a raffle quilt for work (proceeds to go towards our adopt-a-family). It's a strip pieced tube quilt and should be ready for the longarm tomorrow.
2nd: a D9P in purple batiks for my DD who is moving into her 1st apartment this weekend.
3rd: a Suess' Grinch quilt for my parents. I have several 1/2 yards from the product line; haven't picked a pattern yet, any ideas?
