'Tis the season for gift giving... and for makers, 'tis the season for finishing up those handmade gifts. For our final Show Me Something linkup of 2020, I'd like to see what you're giving this holiday season. Please share your handmade quilted and sewn gifts. I promise not to spoil the surprise. (Or come back and post after your gift has been delivered.) Still not sure what you'll make? Here's a list of some of my favorite, fast handmade gifts. And remember, you can like up gifts of years past as well. :-)

I have some go to gifts I make over and over, including the Open Wide Zippered Pouch...

...and the Lined Drawstring Bag.

One year I made a ton of key fobs.

And of course, I love to give a cuddly lap quilt.

 

Here are the linkup details:

  • The monthly Show Me Something quilt linkup will start on the first of the month and continue until midnight (PST) on the last day of the month.
  • You may linkup a maximum of 3 new or old finished projects that fit the theme.

Is anyone else wondering how it is already November? I missed a meeting this week, because I didn't know what day of the week it was... that about sums up life for me right now.

In November, please Show Me Something with Stripes! How do you like to use stripes in your projects? One of my favorite ways to feature strips is a striped binding. Show us all* your stripes. Skinny stripes, thick stripes, striped piecing, striped fabric, wonky stripes... are curved stripes a thing? Sure! Include those, too! Remember, this linkup is part challenge... please link up new or old projects. *Please linkup up to 3 projects total.

Here are a few of my favorite striped fabrics from my stash:

This grey Tula Pink fabric is slated for the sashing for my 100 Tula Pink City Sampler blocks.

One of two Timeless Treasures rainbow prints that I love for the vibrant riot of color!

This fun stripy purple wave print is the backing for the project I just basted.

I'm a little late posting as I've spent most of my energy this week dealing with our broken range. My kids attempted to cook lunch on the stovetop on Monday and that's when we found out it wasn't working. As soon as the essential part becomes available (which is currently on backorder for mid-October) we'll be back in business.

At least this month's quilt challenge is a little one... or a really little one! In September, please Show Me Something Mini! The smaller the better! I've chosen to share the smallest quilts from my studio (the "mini minis") in this post, but please use your own definition of "Mini Quilt". It can be pieced, whole cloth, applique, improv, traditional... as long as it's small. :-) Maybe a small wall quilt, a table topper, a placemat, a mug rug, a coaster... or even smaller. Remember, this linkup is part challenge... please link up new or old projects. Show us what you've got!
