CHRISTMAS IN JULY

While you’re beginning with your Christmas gift ideas in July, far enough ahead so you won’t be rushed, why not develop some summer quilting projects for your youngsters.  They can get a head start on their gift giving preparation, too.

Depending on their age, some can tackle more difficult projects than others.  Also, the older, or more adept at sewing youngsters can do more on their own.

Here are a few suggestions:

1. Pillows
2. Potholders
3. Doll or mini quilts
4. Wall hangings
5. Fabric postcards
6. Tote bags
7. Aprons

What do your youngsters make for quilted and patchwork gifts?

7 Quilted Christmas Gift Projects for Youngsters

“Sew mine, Mommy,” she’d say.  So I’d sew where she pinned and she was happy with something for her imaginary world.

I also worked with my 4-H girls on sewing and quilting projects when Beth and her cousins were young.  We got involved with many projects that resulted in gifts for grandmothers and moms.

So I related when I read Sarah Ann Smith’s blog entry, A little bit of art,  as she helped her son make a fabric postcard gift for a friend.  She has pictures of her card of a horse as well as her son’s. 

Some projects for children:

*Pillows

*Potholders

*Aprons

*Fabric postcards

*Tote bags

*Doll or mini quilts

What projects have you been working on with your children?
