Finally, remember to make something special for yourself too. All you need are between five and fifteen minutes a day the fortnight leading up to Christmas to make this Countdown to Christmas, a mystery quilt.
If you're all sewn-out, or your machine breaks down from all the hard work, here are some gifts you can buy:
Quilter's jelly, quilt block patterns packaged in pint jelly jars. Each kit includes a handmade block, instructions, and fabric to make eight more blocks.
Escaping Bugs Bottle quilt kit or pattern (take a look at the fun, finished quilt even if you've no intention of buying the kit).
Have a great festive season!
