Thank you for the great giveaway! I am behind I hate to say, I usually think of a bunch of great projects for gifts then there is not enough time for all of it. Lucky I get the most important ones done first!!

oh so pretty! i have yet to get any of the forest friends, they would be perfect for holiday gifts, too :) speaking of holiday sewing, i am a little behind, as usual...should get it done in time, though!

Oh these are so cute! I am neither behind nor ahead... But I always misjudge how long it takes to make things so let's just say I am a little bit behind right now :) Plus I am waiting on some zippers to arrive soon so I can get started on one set of gift projects!

I suppose I'm behind in reality, but since a couple of the gifts are waiting for the (very picky) recipients to arrive in town over the next couple of weeks, I can't get started until they pick out fabrics for their gifts. Of course, they know their gifts will probably not be completed before Christmas, but it takes some of the pressure off me to finish everything early.

Wahhh! why did you have to bring that up?
My big plan is to clear my work desk today then I have 9 days of mad Christmas present sewing to do before we leave for the UK....

I haven't even started! (plate's too full, I suppose) but I'm hoping to have a sweet little quilt done for my niece. **crossing fingers**

Love the fabrics for this week! I am a little behind but optimistic that by the weekend I will catch up! Working on Mini quilts and woven fabric baskets for family and friends.

I have a few more things to whip up, but I guess I'm in OK shape-need to finish early to mail!

November 30, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterDianeY

I am behind on one gift - yet the recipient doesn't expect or have a clue about a gift so if miss Christmas, it is OK. Otherwise, feel good that I'm ready.

November 30, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterMarcia W.

wow, they are so pretty and they would make somthing beautiful for my little prince.

I'm not making anything besides biscotti for gifts this year, so I guess I'm on schedule! Thanks for the chance to win some fabric! :o)

i am never ahead...never reach the end of my to do list...but i keep puttering along...always happy for the time/things i do get crafted!

I was on schedule until I got a great idea to make robot softies for all the kids. 3, Yikes! So as I started working on the robots I got two good ideas, first to use a layer of coper organza over my bright green fleece to make it look tarnished. It feels so neat! The second idea is to use geometric prints for the body and head and then I will paint the entire thing with a transparent silver t-shirt paint to make it look like metal. Wish me luck I hope I get them done in time for St. Nick.

I'm behind, but I think it will be okay as I just finished another gift! And at least the tree and decorations are up! :)

November 30, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterCourtney

I am so very behind. And considering i'm having my relatives in on Saturday there is probably no hope to catch up. Love the fabric!

November 30, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterPatti

Wait a minute. Didn't we just have Thanksgiving, and now Christmas is 25 days away.....oh dear, I am behind!

November 30, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterJennifer

Just getting started! Crossing my fingers.......

November 30, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterTara

My sewing machine is in the shop...I'm very behind!

Lovely fabrics, as always.
I'm about on schedule this year. In the Fall I began making small items to donate to a local sale to benefit our library. I also donated a hand quilted, hand appliqued small wall quilt as one of their prizes. So now I'm ready to make just a few gifts for my family. I'm doing ok! Thanks for your lovely giveaway.
