Are you working on any quilting projects for Christmas?

Last year I made quilts for the kids for Christmas. This year we have a new grandson so I need to make him a quilt. I also plan on making a quilted tablecloth for my mom, along with placemats and napkins for my 2 dil.

I'll be finishing a quilt for my youngest ds for a Christmas gift.

How about any of you quilters?

I am doing the JoAnn fabric BOM flower garden quilt for my MIL so I have been doing that and I was making a rag quilt for my SIL but I like it to much and now it is gonna be mine.

The first one I kept for myself!!

I'm also doing a monthly quilt called a Quilter's Garden by Lynette Jensen. Is that the same one?

I purchased the whole 12 blocks when I was on holidays last fall. We had stopped at this beautiful quilting store and I asked dh how much I could spend. He said, "as much as you want". Little did he know what I was planning on spending. I now have the whole 12 months and have finished 4 blocks so far.

I plan on donating it to a local charity.

I am currently working on a quilt I hope to have finished by Christmas though it won't be a gift. At this point I have a few blocks sewn together, but for now I'm just cutting fabric. I want to make at least a full size quilt so ds can use it on his bed, but it just might turn into a queen size so I can use it in my room instead. LOL!

I would like to make some potholders, placemats, and a table runner for my mom for Christmas. For myself I'd like to make a Debbie Mumm wallhanging, Christmas potholders, placemats, and a table runner.

I am also working on 3 quilts for other people-2 of which need need to be done before Christmas (for other events other than Christmas).

I'll probably look back on this in January and laugh my butt off when I don't get any of it done LOL

I'm hoping to get the 9 patch quilt done for ds for Christmas but maybe I'm just dreaming.

I also would like to make a quilted kitchen set for my Mom. She has an old fashioned country round table and it would look so nice.

I have a whole book of ideas but just haven't figured out what I want to make for whom. Maybe I just have too many options but I need to get started soon.

Well I'm almost finished my scrappy Log Cabin quilt which I'm sending to a friend who went through a nasty divorce and then built her dream home - a log cabin. It is stunning!

I figured a Log Cabin quilt would go well the her new home.

Then I need to start on another project, not sure what as of yet.

Remember there are only 126 days left until Christmas.
