Now might not be the time to start working on an heirloom quality quilt to give as a gift this Christmas.  Unless you’re sewing non-stop, a  Mariner’s Compass quilt is not going to be finished in time.  A Giant Dahlia quilt will not be ready to bloom until closer to Spring. 

But there is time to make a few simpler projects.  Here is a second selection of itmes you can still make before Christmas. You can give handmade!

Your kids or grandkids (or nieces & nephews, neighbor kids, you name it) will love these Animal Wrappers after bathtime.  You’ll need a towel and a washcloth.  Sew them together, add embellishements and you can make one of five different critters.

Here’s another idea for the kids.  Make Poncho Pizzazz with fleece for chilly days or with terry for a swimsuit coverup.  Leave plain or add flowers and/or fringe.  Quick, quick, quick to make!

These baskets go together faster than you can say “Ba-Da-Bing…Ba-Da-Boom“.  Make one or several with Christmas fabrics, add a bag of cookies and you have a unique gift!

Quilted Coins make great stocking stuffers or token gifts.  Or use it to make a gift card a little more personal.  3″ x 3.5″ with velcro closure.  Make them as simple or intricate as you like.

 The Humbug Bag makes a great little gift all by itself.  Or you can add a few treasures.  This pattern comes in three sizes and you can make one in just an hour. 

That should get you started.  Come back in a day or two and we’ll have a selection of Christmas items you can make to decorate your home or to gift.  This way you can take advantage of the sale (10% off all Christmas patterns & fabrics! until Dec 15th) and add some Christmas charm to your home.
