Have you started any of your Christmas sewing yet? Starting in July is a good time to get busy on some of your gifts. I decided to do just that. I thought I would make this doorknob hanger to give to a friend this year for Christmas. This is in a book by Kim Diehl. The book is called Simple Graces. You can see her doorknob hanger on this post.
I am linking up my first gift for Christmas to Love By Hand. There is a challenge going on there with a couple of bloggers doing some great tutorials. If you need some ideas for gifts check out the link.
In fact, this little Christmas tree trivet came from one of the bloggers, Stitching And Bacon. I thought I would make this to send along with the doorknob hanger. Isn't it cute?
You might remember that I was working on some binding here. I was the quilt guild president this past year. The guild is so sweet to present the outgoing president with a quilt. I was given this Christmas quilt.
With Passion,
Carrie P.
You still have until the 31st to link up your finished UFO goals for this month here.
