To: Knitting A Conundrum
I just finished all my Christmas last night....2 large quilts; 17 hand stitched tablecloths that I drew the patterns on; 60 hand stitched place mats to match the tablecloths; 4 afghans.

Between hubby and I we have 10 children; 15 grandchildren...so my time is spent all year making hand made items for their Christmas presents....

Already started on adults for next year....10 needlepoint pictures, framed and stored for shipping....15 'little' quilts for the grands...that should do it for next year....

You said brag, so I did...lol....I love this thread...

Wow, I'm such a slacker.

They are lucky to have all of that great love to hold on to. :-)

I have a needlepoint picture of sneakers that my grandmother made for my son. He was one of the older greatgrandchildren. She had 26 grandchildren so she was busy year round too. You are creating heirlooms!
