Homemade Christmas Gifts

For my book club last week we did a little Secret Santa exchange. We were all giggles and oohs and aahs – I think we were more excited for the homemade taco soup and gifts than talking about our book {typical group of girls}.

I had fun making my gifts for my good friend Laura:

Fun purple pillowcases using “Itty Bitty Chairs” by Laurie Wisbrun and High Society Petals.


Then a runner for her table, using Bird Swing by Michael Miller and Glass Tiles by Patty Young Fabric.


Wrapped up in the selvage edge for fun.


Bagged using Christmas tags I made last year {you can download for free here}.

Similarly, my mom’s gifts to her coworkers this year were Christmas Dreaming Pillowcases; Our yearly tradition growing up.
