Anyone else start to think about Christmas quilt projects ?

[Nerys]

I hand sew, hand quilt go slow due to arthritis allover.

On my list for this year tablerunner, cocktail napkins, Xmas decorations, wall hanging.

I haven't thought about Christmas makes yet, but if you do make things they need to be started around now, if not earlier.

I would like to do some table mats, but they'll me fairly simple machine done ones.
You must have a lot of patience to hand sew and quilt things! @Nerys

I'll be doing quilt blocks on my embroidery machine. I should have already started but summer got in the way. Any day now though.....

 Christmas tree stand cover. Tree was new last year and didn't realise it would look  better with a foot.
I have e the measurements.

I may make some table mats or  mug rugs depending on time

I’ve just started on quilted Christmas stockings. I often make these for babies of friends born during the year, but this year a friend has asked me to make 6, plus one for a dog, so I thought I’d best start early. The first one of the year always takes the longest as I try to remember what I’m doing!

This is the front of the one for her new granddaughter , but the rest are for adults. I put fleece cuffs on with names embroidered on the cuff- probably the most tricky part.

I’m thinking I’d what handsewing I’m going to take with me to Canada to do while I’m there.

I’ve now made 10 Christmas stockings, so I think that should be almost them all for this year. 6 were requested by one friend and then I’ve made another 4 to give as gifts. The simple one is for a dog. 
Next I’ll start on my Christmas gift bags

I have three Christmas stockings to make for my DS's 1yr twins and DD's 1yr son. I've ordered the panels and plain red fabric.
That should be  the last ( I hope).

That should be  the last ( I hope).

I love making them @Starryfish , but perhaps 10 this year was a little too many. The trickiest bit is embroidering the names free hand- I’m always worried I’ll make a mistake on the last letter! I always put the name on before attaching the cuff, but even so, if it’s a long name,it’s  a pain to start again.
