Christmas gifts 2011

I’m finishing up all my Christmas projects… and all of a sudden I feel slightly panicky. There is a commercial on Danish TV right now about a man who makes homemade presents and it’s clear to everyone that it’s a pretty awfull thing to to do. Oh well, too late for that now. Let’s just hope the people I give presents to appreciate the gifts for what they are…. Little love letters and sign of appreciation..

My dear friend Susan got this (pattern: Sparkle plenty)



My funky niece will get this (pattern: Mod Circles Appliqued Baby Quilt)



Her awesome big brother, my Nephew Anders, is getting this :




This is a quilt for Christa, my Goddaughter (pattern: Pendant quilt)




Here are two pillows made of the scraps from the pendant quilt is for my friend Michala(who is Christa’s mother and also Godmother to my oldest)



A few purses that will be filled with little goodies for my nieces in Sweden. Freja’s will of corse have a wonderful bundle of fabric in it (see why)and Sara’s will have some earrings in it. (Pattern: Pouches)
.



And then there are key straps for everybody of course - this time with lots of polka dots. We can never have too many polka dots, right  :) (Pattern from Stephanie at Lofts Creations)

  6. I'd be totally happy with any of those gifts. Those quilts are especially awesome. I will admit, I gifted 1 quilt, 3 pair of hand knit socks, and some small cosmetic bags for Christmas this year and I'm not sure how happy will be with them. But I know to me they mean more than just picking up something for them at the store just to fulfill what seems to have become a duty for the holiday.
