I am off for two weeks at Christmas each year, and I call it "finish all the things" time. "In progress" quilting projects tend to pile up when you work 50 hours a week. Those two weeks are so much fun – quilting and sewing and crafting away.
Cindy says
Baking: Pumpkin pie and cookies. Thanks.

Every Christmas, I basically frantically try to craft all the things for all friends and family members. It is such a crazy time!! I start off with the ambitious goal of knitting something for everyone, but quickly start sewing things for people because it is faster. Alas, I often resort to buying things for the last few people on my list at the last minute. That's a tradition, right?

We have quite a few family traditions for Christmas. From our 7 fishes dinner on Christmas Eve, to waking at the crack of dawn to start visiting our grandkids to watch them open Santa's surprises, to everyone back to our house at night for dinner and gift exchange – grandkids do a "pollianna" at Thanksgiving and must make something for their special recipient – from the now 5 year old on up to the now 18 year olds! Thanks so much for the great giveaway! 🙂

Robyn says
My daughter is two, so holiday crafting traditions are new for us. And I have only been quilting 2.5 years, so my holiday crafting has mostly just been a rush to finish up Christmas gifts the last few years, and nothing before that unless you count the scratch-made lemon meringue pie my mother always requests. This year though, we made cookies for the first time. It was fantastic! Hugely messy, but fantastic. She spent the next day with her Nana and when she came she immediately pulled a chair over to the kitchen counter and climbed up and started saying "make cookies! make cookies!" and has been asking to make cookies again ever since.

It's all about the baking. Now that the kids are married this might happen before or after Christmas but we always manage to make our favorite recipes.

Even with all of your reminders I forgot the email address the first time 🙂 fraudonnaherr@gmail.com

Hello, My name is Brenda and I have been quilting for over 10 years. Yet, this is the first year that I have ever made any kind of Christmas gifts. I discovered Pinterest earlier this year and have so much fun seeing all of the projects that people create. So this year, I decided to do some Christmas Crafts and have already fallen in love with it. Right now I am sewing some two sided quilted Christmas Stockings for both of my Nephews and my future Son in Law. For all of the ladies in my family, I am going to make each of them their own personal Christmas Wreath and Pin Cushions. Thank You for this wonderful chance at a great give away prize. I will sign up for your newsletter. my email address is

Ever since we moved to our small, rural town eleven years ago, I have been making Christmas cookies and taking them to the people who made our transition easier and made this feel more like home: the friendly people at the Post Office, the kind folks at Valley Vet who lovingly care for our animals, the guys at the PUD who restore our power during winter storms. This is a Christmas tradition I truly enjoy, and one year when I broke my foot and ankle and was unable to bake on crutches I learned that other people look forward to it as well.

I have too many to count. One of my favorites when my son was younger was to cut out 24 construction paper christmas trees which I decorated with glitter glue. I write a different christmas activity on the back of each. things from getting a peppermint ice cream cone, to watching the grinch that stole christmas to making christmas cookies. I would then number them from 1-24 and hang them across the mantle. each day we would do that day's activity. Great fun! momweaverathotmaildotcom

Every year we like take an afternoon to make ornaments–this year it will be felt stars with lots of glitter. If the grandgirls are anything like their parents, as they get older, the ornaments will become more sophisticated, but while they're little, you can't beat glitter for immediate gratification. Especially if you follow the creative activity with a mug of hot chocolate.
Amber says
I normally make 100% of my Christmas presents, so no one project that happens each year. Though usually at least a couple people get some type of ornament and I make chocolate-covered-cherries for my dad pretty regularly 🙂

I began making a small gingerbread house in the 70's when our daughter was in pre-school. They're 5×8 from real gingerbread with royal icing and candy decorations and melted lifesaver windows. I made them for us as well as her teachers and bus driver. After she grew up, I continued making them with friends' and neighbors' kids. Our daughter is grown and has been making them with her girlfriends and now more recently with our granddaughter and the girlfriends' children. The tradition goes on – I luv it!
