I'm making tote bags and aprons - nearly finished!
A quiet book for my granddaughter, zippered pouches for my great-nieces and a handbag or two.

I'm making t-shirt scarves (super fast and simple) placemats and pj pants. thanks for the fabulous giveaway
I have already made a bunch of key fobs - love them! I am planning to make some loyalty card wallets and zippered pouches. I may may some hot pads, too.
What a generous giveaway! I made a few sets of placemats as gifts. They were all made from Christmas fabric.
I'm a follower. I'm not making anything this year but last year I made tote bags using the Jane Market Bag pattern for my daughters teachers
I'm a loyal follower! I'm making pillows! Thanks for the chance to win!!!
I have made 2 cushions. One is a Liberty tana lawn appliquéd VW campervan on lovely linen background. I particularly love this and want to keep it. I am also making pretty little baby dresses and needlecord pinafores using a fab pattern from Smashed Peas and Carrots. I have made a Christmas table runner and am going to make a line of Christmas tree bunting for my window. jennylarking@gmail.com

I follow your wonderful blog. I am making stockings and some lap quilts for christmas presents
Oh how lovely kelli....thanks for this chance to win!!! I didn't make anything to give this year. But I have given my family bed size quilts for Christmas some years.
I follow via Google Reader. I am making pajama bottoms for the girls in my life...they love them. I am also making my daughter a rag quilt. I LOVE Notting Hill!
I am making a few quilts...it has been going slowly. I feel good about today though!
I am making aprons, pieced pot holders, and knitted hats for Christmas presents! Thanks for the chance to with these yummy Fat Quarters!
A quilt, a christmas tree skirt, coin pouches, and journal covers...also cowls.
I follow via Google Reader. My go-to quick gift this year is handwarmers, a pair per person. I have my scrap collection out on the dining room table and whenever the kids are involved in something for a few minutes I match up a couple more pieces of fabric and cut them out. Then I can sew a bunch at once after they're in bed at night. The thing that takes the longest is hand-sewing the closing closed at the end! I filled them with rice mixed with lavender essential oil and they smell so nice.
I am a follower. So many of the fabrics make me drool these days.
I have been making all sorts of gifts - raincoats, small totes, i-pad cases, towels....
i'm making hand print pillows and jammies!
I am following your blog.
I had planned on doing a lot of sewing but just haven't been feeling well. Then, in the wee hours of Sat. morning and a trip to the ER, found out I have a pretty bad UTI.
So maybe I'll at least get my daughter some pj pants made.
I'm making car playmat messenger bags, casserole carriers and jean quilts.
I am making an apron for my 13 year old son who loves to cook! Thanks.

I'm making pillowcases for all the small children, 10 so far. I'm a follower!
Right now I am working on quilts but those are not quick. For quick gifts I usually make embroidered hand towels or dish towels (the flour sack kind). Also this year I am going to try and make some mug rugs for people that drink coffee. I have some great coffee themed fabric for that.
I made a quilt for my oldest sister, just mailed it off last week. I'll be making a Go Faster Box Bag from Tacha Bruecher's book for my stitching group swap & some little frame pouch purses for some far away friends. That's all for me. Thanks for the lovely give away.

This year we are making mug rugs, Christmas themed coasters, and hopefully, table runners. Time is running out...Happy holidays!
I am not currently making anything, but if I can manage it, I am going to make my husband an I pad sleeve to go with his new ipad.
Potholders, mug rugs, toilet cases are quick and easy to make. And I've sewn a quilt for my baby granddaughter.
I'm a follower.
I would love to but I called into sub indefinetly but does embroidering names on towels for someone else to give as gifts count?! I would though still love to make some pillows & make-up pouches but I don't think so. Thanks for the giveaway - I'm for sure a follower.
A zippered pouch showcasing some embroidery. Thanks for the giveaway!
I love the pearl bracelets! I have made quite a few quilted pillow covers for Christmas this year. I follow your blog via google reader. Thanks for the chance to win!
I am making Happy Holidays table toppers. They are fun and easy to make. I made one large Xmas tree skirt from this pattern too.
I am a follower.

I am making a felt mail set for my daughter. It will have stamps that snap off/on. I am making a few hot/cold rice bags with covers. I am doing a few baked goods/jams/hot fudge this year.
I am a follower, and I have been making coin purses with my scrap fabrics in all colors. I plan to put either money (no more then $5) or gift cards. Maybe nothing at all since the purses are just great by them selfs.
I am making iPad cases for my Mom and 2 sisters, and one niece. Maybe one for my daughter if she wants one. I am using the Kindle Cover tutorial from Moda website, just enlarging it and adding a button closure and webbing & grosgrain ribbon trim & handles. Quick & Easy and oh so cute.
I'm making a quilt for my brother and placemats for my parents!

thank you so much for this opportunity
I am knitting afghans for my sisters. And I have quilt tops that I still need to quilt for my sisters-in-law. I'm a follower. Thanks.
I'm doing embroidered pillows this year along with a few mug mats. Time is at a premium so I'm pushing hard to get them all done!! Be especially blessed, Kathy
Making a quilt. That's it! Not all that crafty I guess.
This is a wonderful giveaway, thank you! I made quite a few items for a local Holiday Shop and now am onto gifts for the family - my 2 button fabric shawls for the ladies, sleepy pants for the guys, a few scarves and a few quilted table runners.
This year I've made 2 snuggle quilts for the 2 youngest members of our adopted family. I'm working on coin purses for the 2 teenage girls and hopefully messenger bags too. I'm in the middle of piecing a Hidden Wells(I know this will be a late present) I'm going to a larger city this morning & hopefully will find a fabric store that carries cotton, batting and good quality thread so I will be able to save the shipping fees from the states.

I follow you... I've finished 3 table toppers for my Mom, MIL and sister. Once I finish my tree skirt and set of stockings I'll be making lots of mug rugs for family exchanges. Thanks for the giveaway!

I'm a happy follower! I just finished buying two small bowls at Anthropologie. I glued (E6000) magnets to the indentions on the bottom of the bowls and now they are pin holders. I bought my friends new quilting pins to go inside. A girl can't have too many pin holders or pins (or shoes...)! Merry Christmas
I made a twin size quilt of each of my grand children - that would be 5 all together!I have also made placemant which take just a few hours, so that might be a good thing for you...or mug rugs....neither take much time!

I follow, of course I do! I am running out of time (like you) and so this year the homemade gifts are all from the Kitchen: caramel corn (I have an awesome recipe if you need one) and I thought I might try marshmallows if I'm feeling ambitious, although I hear they can burn out the motor on a stand mixer so I might not go there!
I'm making aprons, a manicure set, a bookself mini quilt, a rice pillow, and a business card holder. Have I mentioned I haven't started either besides picking out all the fabric and organizing my area? EEPS, I'm a busy girl these next 12 days or so!
I'm making some patchwork cushions(pillows), some Christmas stockings, a few simple zip pouches & a Weekender Travel bag (for my daughter, not a quick OR easy project!). Thanks for the chance to win.
I'm busy finishing up a wallhanging and some kitchen towels and pot holders.

Merry Christmas and thanks for the great giveaway.

Finishing some flannel baby blankets, strip pieced fleece blankets, aprons and pjs. Satisfying but not exciting. Thanks.
I'm trying to finish a quilt for my dad for Christmas, so I'm no help in the last minute gift inspiration, I'm afraid. I made the blocks up over the summer, now it just needs borders, basting, etc. etc. Two weeks and two long weekends between now and then...think I can make it?!
I'm finishing up a couple quilts, but I plan to give the gift of booze and I'm going to make little quilted bottle coozies for the liquor bottles!
most of mine were photo albums / frames. I'm making ONE ornament. this was not my most handmade year.

I'm making pj pants, but it seems so are alot of others out there. I also plan to make a tunic and/or dress for my daughter and a purse for her too. Thanks for the chance to win!
Hi,
I'm so glad I read some of the comments. I found some good gift ideas. I've been making doll clothes for my daughter.
Let's see, I've made 2 quilts, I have some journal covers in the works, a few placemats and mug rugs also in the works. I made a dreadful handmade tree ornament! I also made some wall art (tut on my blog). I was thinking about making a bag or two, but I think I am running out of time.
I made my sister a stocking using images from the Grinch fabric (to show the whole storyline on the stocking). And I made her a Lorax zippered pouch.
I may make a few more pouches for some other folks, too.
Infinity scarves and zipper pouches -- that's what I'm making for my daughter's teachers and a couple of my friends.
I'm a seasoned follower already.
I'm making a Helix quilt from Emily Herrick's book Geared for Guys. It looks great and is easy to make.
And I'll make a few pouches and tote bags for smaller gifts.
I follow your blog on google reader. Instead of wrapping most of my presents this year I have made christmas bags from the tutorial by Jeni at In color Order blog.
(http://www.incolororder.com/2011/10/lined-drawstring-bag-tutorial.html). They turn out SO cute and would be perfect quick gifts.
Right now I'm making Christmas cards. When they are done, I'll be making pin suh ions for all the ladies on my list.
Hope I get it ll done in time!

I am making small drawstring bags filled with cookies and chocolates. You can customize the fillings, like crayons, candy, and by changing the fabric it is suitable for anyone, kid, adult, male, female, teacher, etc.
I made table runners, hot pads, coasters and snowman ornaments. The coasters and snowman ornaments are made using charm squares and are extremely easy to make ( I posted tutorials on my blog for both).
I'm finishing off Spoonflower tea towels as gifts this year. Thanks for the chance!
I have been making altered coasters into little art pieces that you display on tiny easels. I have been making altered notebooks, especially purse sized ones for notes, homemade Christmas cards and DIY lip scrub and body scrubs.
Thanks for the chance to win this fabric, I am in LOVE with this and would be thrilled if I won it.
Have a Merry Christmas!
Maureen

My mom paid me to make a bunch of my quilted wine totes for her to give as Christmas gifts, besides that I made some fabric letters and doll carriers for my girls.
My wine tote tutorial is here http://www.happierthanabirdquilts.com/2012/10/sweet-treats-blog-hop-quilted-wine-tote.html
{Just a friendly suggestion, your blog is great, but your post column is way too narrow. With so much in your side bars and such a narrow center column it is really hard to stay focused and read your posts.}
I am still busy with wall hangings and pot holders! Love the fabrics in your giveaway. Thanks so much for the chance to win!
Not sewn or quilted, but I'm making some crocheted snowflakes for gift toppers (I gave up trying to make actual presents this year)
