It is a great day of gifting!
I love making small gift items on my sewing machine.
Here are three easy to make items with free tutorials:
One of my favorite "go-to" nifty gifty is one I found on one of my favorite blogs ... ;)
"Comfort and Joy with Jacque" @ Sew We Quilt
These are sew useful for personalizing with coffee or tea
or even as a small sewing kit.
They also make good business card holders.
Another one is this cute and easy to make ...
"Snap Bag" @ Sweet P Quilting and Creations
... and I love to use scraps to make my own
Quilty Key Chains
These tiny blocks also make cute refrigerator magnets by tucking a a button magnet between the batting and the backing fabric.
Here is my newest idea for a small and useful and easy to make gift ...
Quilty Jar Openers!
These are made with a square or fabric (or you could make a small quilt block),
a square of flannel or cotton, and a square of rubberized shelf lining.

I had so much fun making these jar openers that I played some more with the idea and the fabric
and I created ...
"Twist and Turn" Hexie Jar Openers, too!
The tutorial for the hexie jar opener will be up at midnight!

Thanks to

for playing Quilty Santa.
The gifts are flying around the world!
How wonderful!
Katniss has picked her favorite gifty from Kris's treasure box ...
... and has chased it around the room a few times.
I keep having to retrieve it.
This one will be a special ornament on my Christmas Tree this year!
I cannot possibly pick a favorite.
All these giftys are so nifty!!!
Thanks, again, Kris!
Katniss and I say "Purrrrrr!"
May your season of gifting be merry and bright!
Thank you to all who have left lovely comments.
My daughter and grand-darling are flying in today for an extended holiday visit ...
... which is the best Christmas present of the year!
I have been busy cleaning up my shared sewing space and tucking stuff in closets.
I hope to respond personally to all the kind words as soon as I have time ...
well ... when I am not cuddling the baby girl .... ;)

Kris outdid herself with the gift giving. What a lovely collection of gifts. Plus home made jam. That is a wonderful gift in itself. I love the last picture with Katniss curled up with the gifts.

Like the twist and turn lid opener. Looks like your cat calmed all the new goodies.
Wow. You must have been a good girl that Santa left so many nice gifts. And I must have been good too since you displayed some really neat gifts and the tutorial link.

Love the jar opener and the teabag holder, will be making both sometime this weekend. Your incoming gifts are wonderful. love that your little buddy found something in the grouping of interest. If you put the strawberry on the tree won't she try and retreive it? Im only asking because I had a cat who took a Christmas tree wanting something on a high branch.
