A while back I saw that a quilting blog had started a Christmas Group. It works like this.
The first week you make a tote bag or box. The rest of the weeks you put what you make into this bag/box and at Christmas you have all your presents made.
Each week she gives out a project. Can be simple like a pot holder. Or a tote bag. Or a jewelry holder.
And instructions.
And everyone follows along making it using up their stash. It goes into the bag/box for Christmas give aways. It is also good to dig into when you need a present during the year for a shower or friend/family birthday.
So I will put together one as a countdown until this Christmas. We can get at least 20 things done before this Christmas, use up stash and develop skills we may not have. Learn fun new things. And have presents ready for Christmas giving.
Who wants to join in? It will go on the blog, so you can view the blog at:

You don’t have to do anything special but if you want to follow the blog you can receive new posts as they are posted. Or you can just go to the blog and see the info each week. Of course we would like you to follow the blog because participation is always more fun!

Founded in 2005 by quilters who wanted to share their love of quilting with others, our guild's purpose was to promote appreciation and interest in quilting and to provide educational opportunities. Reimagined in 2023 -- The Sassi Stripper Stitchers meets every third Thursday from 4 to 8 p.m at the Jones Creek Library. Come and go during that time. Work on any kind of stitchery. Sharing, show and tell, and fellowship.
