I think this is the first year since I've officially designated myself as a quilter that I haven't had a quilted gift in the works for someone for Christmas.
I'm sure most everyone is breathing a sigh of relief.....
My family for not having to put up with my last minute raging sewing.
The recipient who most likely would have preferred a store bought gift or a gift card....oh, and a gift that is actually finished and gifted on time.
I can't say that I haven't felt the urge to make something for someone. I have and the urge has been actually pretty intense, but I've resisted it so far. I have seen some really cool quilts and gift ideas in my travels to shops and blogs.
Yes, I'm experiencing the joys of another year not being organized or ready for Christmas.
There's always next year....

ha ha ha!!! i feel the same way - i think that my sister's little quilt is the last one that i will be making for THAT particular family - they received a total of four quilts from me this year (the most awesome being my brother-in-law's 60th birthday quilt) and by the time i gifted the last one, the response was more "ho-hum ... yawn" than "OOOO!!!! for ME?!?!"
ReplyDeleteNo one has to be afraid of homemede gifts from me!!!! The closest I get to making something for someone is food!
