Giveaway Time!
I’ve been wanting to do another giveaway for some time and was so tickled with the folks at You Can Make This offered up some prizes to share with y’all. Two winners will each win four YCMT ebooks: Personalized Name Pillows, Peasant Tops/Dresses, and Easy Fit Pants including both patterns sized for (6m – 12) and (Teen/Adult). Between all of those, items can be made for boys, girls, men and women.
All you have to do to win is comment on this post between now and 5 p.m. (Eastern time) on Christmas Eve. I’d love to know what you’ve made to give for Christmas this year or a favorite handmade gift you’ve received, but that’s optional. I’ll randomly select two winners (thanks to Random.org) and forward your information to the sweet folks at YCMT, who’ll send you your prizes.
Merry Christmas, y’all!
ETA: Congrats to the winners, commenters #6 (Stephanie) and #30 (Cristie)! I’ll be forwarding your email addresses to YCMT and they’ll send out your prizes soon.

I actually made 3 lap quilts for a friend using her mom’s clothes. Her mom passed away from ovarian cancer a couple of years back and she wanted to give these quilts to her sister and her father and keep one for herself for Christmas.

Thanks for the giveaway! This year I crocheted two hats – one for a friend’s granddaughter and one for my cousin’s girlfriend. I also made two scarves – one for my mom and one for our mail lady. I wanted to make more, but got a late start and time has run out! Happy Holidays to you!

Sadly, I haven’t made any handmade gifts this year. Stressful and crazy work conditions have sapped my energy. However, I did receive a great knitted scarf from a colleague. Now I want to pick up knitting!

Merry Christmas Mary!
Have a blessed holiday with your family:)
Warm Hugs,
Kay

Fun giveaway! Glad I didn’t miss it. My favorite thing I’ve made is a black apple doll for each of my girls, hope they like them as much as I do!

After reading a qulting blog about slippers, I decided to put what they said to the test! I bought a pair of boiled wool slippers and applied some applique initials and hey presto – a personalised gift for Christmas (or any other time of year).

Hi Mary. Merry Christmas!!!
This year I made many, many aprons for friends and family, as well as embroidered ornaments. For my girls, I also made jammies and Christmas outfits.
I finally put my sewing machine away on Monday, but now I think I want to make some more things for the people who really would be blessed by a gift. It never ends I guess.

Tutus and aprons and blankets, oh my!! Happy Holidays!
December 24th, 2009 at 8:01 am
Too cute!
We did all hand-made gifts this year. Including my specialty custom photo collages and lots of crafty kitchen confections, including pumpkin seed toffee, chocolate covered pretzels, biscotti and home-made sourdough bread (first run at this whole sourdough biz, hope it turns out well!).

Mostly I am making bags for Christmas. There is a doll quilt, too.
December 24th, 2009 at 10:29 am
This year, my husband and I made spices for all of our family and friends. We mixed up three concoctions (my famous taco seasoning, butter and olive oil pasta seasoning, and a bread dipping mix) and included recipe cards for how each of the mixes could be used. We made special labels for each of the shakers and color coded the recipe cards so there’d be no confusion. So far, everyone seems to love them.
Merry Christmas!

I made a tote bag for my Mom, pillow cases for everyone in my family, a spa set (bath salts, a fabric basket, a manicure roll and a body scrubber)for my best friend and decoupaged three clipboards for teacher gifts. I also did a lot of baking and gave some to my Daughter’s bus driver. Its’ been busy! Merry Christmas!

I made matching jammie pants for my two girls and several ornaments. Oh, and a new corduroy bag for ME!

I bought three totes handmade by a friend (her business), bought hand made white chocolate popcorn for co-workers and church friends (also made by a friend), and made a bracelet for a co-worker.

Made some cute art kids for kids and lots of coffee cozies and wristlets. Plans for lots more but ran out of time of course!

Cookies, love pies and fudge. No time to sew.

What a perfect day for a giveaway!! Let’s see…oddly enough the only thing I made this year were my Christmas cards (which is leaving me feeling a bit guilty…dratted holiday guilt!!
) But, I may go home and make some fudge?? Merry Christmas!!
December 24th, 2009 at 9:24 pm
My favorite gift that I’m giving this year is a quilt I made for my nephew. I can’t wait for him to open it!
