You can made them as big or small as you want. They could be table toppers, candle mats, mug rugs or just little quilts to bring a smile to someone during the holiday.
Please don't email and ask for a pattern. You can do these all on your own, no problem. Back some fun fabrics with fusible web and start cutting out shapes and putting them together. You'd be surprised what you can come up with!
So far this week I have 5 unfinished stockings, two unfinished pillows, and two table toppers in progress, not to mention the fabric for 5 scarves....I have lots to finish, but that's how I roll. Last minute girl! How about you? Are you making holiday gifts?Have a happy weekend! I'm going to be focused on finishing!

I have been loving those for years! I have tried to make them, but it's taken me a while to figure out that dark outlining thread is the ticket to making them look more finished and illustration-like.
Sooooo cute!!!! I love them.
i've made some holiday gifts already, but have more to finish... i've made a set of father & son ties out of super fun print for my BIL and 1 1/2 yr old nephew and a set of tea towels for my sister. i'm still working on embroidering a linen pillow for my mom, then i have to actually make it a pillow! i've thought about a few more, but i don't think i'll have the time.
Those are so sweet! And I love it - "Last Minute Girl"!!! Can it be a club? I want to join!!
Totally finishing last minute gift sewing here too!!! :) And LOVE these ideas, so might just start some more! lol!!! Thanks for sharing, they are beautiful!
These are just so darned cheerful. I really should attempt to make one or two, but right now I have too many projects in a total state of unfinishment. (good word?)
I just thought that these would be fantastic rendered as a tree skirt.
I love them. You're work is inspiring. Makes me want to go to my sewing room right this minute.
They are just so pretty!
You crack me up. Don't ask for a pattern - love that mom tone!
I am eager to get to more gift making!
I have a show tomorrow and after that it will be gifts!!!!!!!!!
I love them! Super cute!
How festive and such an easy gift idea. This is a definite to-do!
Thank you!
Carolyn
Uber cute! Yes, can we start a Last Minute Girl club?
so no questions about pattern. But...what kind of fusible web? I don't know why fusibles intimidate me. they just do...
Sweet! Fun!
You should join PostCardCottage - a yahoo swap group (hint hint). ; )

Yes, I do. I'm a tidge crazy and decided I was making throw quilts (5) for family members and my brother added a serious girlfriend to the mix... so making a market bag for her!! AHHHH!! Love it, just don't know if I'll be able to finish in time!
I'm so last minute that I haven't even started!
Also, I just got my sewing machine back from the shop. Oh, how I missed it.
I really hope I can make it to Quilt Guild next week. We'll see.
Happy sewing!
I love these. Thanks for the tip on backing fabric with fusible web and then cutting. That is a great idea and makes things so much easier. Don't want to tell you how I've done them in the past but it was not as easy as your method.
These are really cute for some quick christmas giveaways. I like the designs on the smaller ones.
You should enter these in my sewing challenge blog here at, Paula's Sewing Challenges, and you could win a little something, something.
Hope to see you there soon.
Cheers,
Paula

These are lovely. Something else to add to the list of wants but probably won't get round to - ha-ha!
These are so lovely! What a great idea! I might have to get busy this week-end and make some too!
Oh so cute, I will have to have a good look and try some out. I am not good at a no pattern thing usually but you have me inspired!!!
I love these!!! You could make lots of these and every one would turn out different.
They are so very cute.
So Cute, I'm in the process of making some now.....inspiring is what you are!!

Sooooooo cute!!
Cute pieces! I really cherished the piece you sent me!
Adorable!
love them all, they put a smile on my face!
Great stuff, really. I always love your Christmas things. Inspiring.
Adorable! I like little things like this to just hang on the wall--even to replace a few things that are there year-round. It makes things so festive looking.
so fun and happy!
Came over from Jaybird Quilts!

Your work is just beautiful. Your quilting is so wonderful to look at. You've inspired me to get back into my quilting.
I wish I could do quilting, let alone own a one arm.
