I am hoping that as we approach the Christmas holiday, that you are calm, relaxed, and everything is under control.
If you are anything like me, that is all a dream and I am in almost panic mode because there is still way too MANY things to do!!
Do you have some orphan quilt blocks or other quilted fabric laying around? If so, you are half way done with making the gifts I have listed below

Practically Painless Pillows – Who doesn’t love pillows? And, if you have some orphan quilt blocks, half of your work is done! You don’t even have to quilt the blocks! I have figured out how to make perfect pillows, every time, including an easy way to put a zipper in the back of the pillow!

Table Runners are always a great gift! Above is one I made a few years ago for my sister. She LOVES it!! I quilted this one with free hand feathers, but you can quilt ANY design you want!

Cup Cozies are another great gift idea. If you have some already quilted fabric – maybe from some practice pieces – you can make these Cup Cozies in a snap!!
Also included is a recipe for home made Peppermint Mocha!

One last quick gift!
Mug Rugs are great gifts for the coffee or tea drinker! You can make a TON of these really quickly.
I used free hand feathered hearts, but you can do any kind of quilt design. Or, if you have quilted fabric – maybe left over from the cup cozies above – you can make these!
For an even quicker finish, use a pinking shear and cut around the edges of the mug rug instead of binding them!

I hope these last minute gift ideas will help you in your last minute holiday preparations!
PS – I still have to put the binding on a couple of quilts!
MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR to you and your family!
