Good morning! Love seeing all the pics! You all are on a roll!
Here's a pic of the stockings...5 I had started about 5 years ago. I had 1 that only needed the cuff and the other 4 just had the front of the stocking made. Well this project really grew and I added 10 more to the mix. The 5 original ones have the names Easton, Preston, Dad, Gramma and Papa on them.
Do they count? They were all quilted LOL

Valerie, I hope you get it done! It's a great feeling! I finished this and another one, gotta get a pic taken, at 11:38 last night! This one has been being saved and gathered for several years.... when we did the blue Christmas blocks swap. I didn't have enough so I made more blocks along the way plus had some more given to me and I now have it ready to give for Christmas! This one is going to Kevin and Maria ❤🎅🤶 it's a queen size and I made pillowcases to go with it.

Here are the aprons I started last year but didn't get finished. I finished 1 last year for our DDIL and gave it to her last Christmas.
These emptied out my small Christmas projects tote except for some very detailed applique placemats..... they won't be finished this year LOL
These aprons are reversible, they were a kit from CT and I added the embroidered names and also lined the pockets on all but mine. I started with mine but when I got past the pockets I decided I didn't like them not lined and finished so the plan was to line the pockets in everyone else's..... you know those best laid plans LOL they all got lined but all but the 1 got set aside and didn't get anymore until now.

This is the other Christmas quilt finished! It's a huge king size. It was also finished last night. I've been saving Christmas swap blocks for several years and also was given some this year which made doing this one a possibility for this Christmas! I've also had a stash of border fabrics to use in these 2 quilts that I started buying years ago for when I had enough blocks.... My kids kept trying to take my Christmas quilt every Christmas so now they have their own 🥰🎅🤶
I made matching pillowcases also for them both.

With all this Christmas sewing my big Christmas tote that was sooooo full the lid wouldn't close and was stacked almost a foot higher than the tote is now less than half full and the lid is on it and clicked shut! LOL it's a great feeling to get these finished after planning and gathering for so many years!
