A lumberjack tote for my Dad:
A bag for my Grandmother:
Coasters and mugs for the teachers:
PJ pants for the kids:
Sheet quilts for the kids:
Messenger Bags for both kids:
A jacket and beret for my niece:
Pillows from my Grandfather's bed quilt from when he was a boy (Sara, I do have your's!!):
An apron and potholder for my brother's girlfriend:
And I think that is the majority of the gifts. The pillows were the easiest - they measure 18" square. And I made 10 of them total. I don't have pictures of the sheet quilt I made for my Mom (still in progress) and the fleece vest I made for my niece, Avery.
And I am starting in January for the 2009 Christmas gifts!

I hear you on starting early!! I'm trying to have a handmade year this year...all gifts handmade, so that means I have to start this month, too.
All your gifts look great! I love those pillows!
Wow is all I can say!!I thought I was clever with a few aprons, a couple of potholders and tissue purses for the teachers...But youve left me in the dust!!! Still its very inspiring. I love the grandmothers bag!
Love Crafty cherry
Well done! Love the pillows from the old quilt...great way to divvy it up..especially if is was getting tired. Sheet quilts?-are they just pieced and backed light ones?
Oops, you may like to call at my blog.....

It's so good you've documented your handmade gifts. What a treasure, past, present & future. Each and every gift is fun, happy and useful! I hadn't seen the lumberjack tote, your grandmother's bag or Tyler's messenger bag. Love ALL the fabrics you picked and you did a fantastic job, of course!
Happy, happy days and here's to an early start on Christmas '09. :)
Peace, Ana
