I'm working on a quilt (only my 2nd one) for my niece, and trying to teach my 11 year old DD how to sew. Fun weekend, except my quilt squares aren't measuring what they should. Ugh.

baby hats...everyone has had/is having babies!

I'm working on some (ok lots of) bunting to give to family and friends. Each bunting flag is shaped like Christmas trees in red and green fabrics. If I didn't have so many to make, I'd quilt them but I have to make about 20 strings with 11 trees on each. LOL And I have to make a purple quilt for a friend who has been very generous to me :-)

Just finished six of Toni Alexander's Plum Pudding Birds as teacher christmas presents, bound a quilt for my niece during ballet rehearsals, and about to start a quilt for a new niece due in the new year.

I am making tote bags for my nieces and knitting lots of scarfs & hats for others on my list.

No Christmas presents, just baby quilts. Making a welcome to the north pole quilt, which is so much fun to make at this time of year.

I'm working on a Christmas quilt with a bunch of different Christmas fabrics I've added to my stash over the years. And I'm making pillow cases for all of the kids in the immediate families, complete with the child's name appliqued on them. The pillow cases will be used to wrap the rest of the gifts to the kids.

I've got a disappearing 9-patch quilt in Kate Spain's Christmas line almost complete and then it will be a table runner for me and gift bags for some of my office friends and quartet buddies.

I"m working on little doll quilts for my 5 little nieces! They are all done with matching fabric but because i did half square triangles one half patterned fabric and the other white I am able to do a different pattern for each! Oh how I love what you can do with half square triangles!

[Amy]

I'm trying to finish a Christmas wedding quilt for my sister, who got married last Christmas. :)

[Knititall]

I've been making bags (project bags, shopping totes) and will probably try to make an ornament or too as well if I can manage.

[Paige]

I'm working on a lap size Bento Box and hope to have enough time to make two sets of quilted coasters.

[Kathy H]

I'm trying to finish a pillow and some embelished tea towels for gifts. I did finish a fabric basket over the weekend. I hope I can get it all done!!

[Monica]

I am making a hoodie but can be easily swayed to make a Dot Party Quilt!

[Christine]

Pajamas for the kids is my "standard" Christmas gift.... I"m already behind this year though!

[Colleen]

Actually, I made 7 quilt Christmas projects for our kids that live in CA (we're in PA). I started them in August and finished in October. I mailed them the end of Oct. as we were going out there for a 2 week visit in November.

I made a variety of quilts and wall hangings. I made a Bargello wall hanging for our DD's bedroom, a Disappearing 9 Patch lap quilt for my DIL, a machine embroidered wall hanging for my 3 year old grand son with Disney characters, a table topper from Moda Turnovers, a bed quilt with big trucks on it for my grand son, a large lap quilt for my DD, and some pot holders and placemats for my DIL.

Now that we're back, I've been working on a Christmas table runner for my SIL.

[Louanne]

I am working on some top secret projects for my husband and children -- I would tell you exactly what they are - but there are prying eyes everywhere here! Can I tell you the exciting details after Christmas?

[Deb]

I am working on a yoyo santa and a Christmas table runner.
