  1. Hi, Joanie! My favorite quilted projects to give are table runners. I love making them for myself and for friends.

    Here's a really yummy cookie recipe. My oldest Granddaughter gave me the recipe and they are the best.

    Gooey Butter Cookies
    2 yellow cake mixes
    1 stick softened butter or oleo
    2 8oz. bars cream cheese
    2 egg yolks
    2 tsp. vanilla

    Mix together and shape into balls.
    Roll in powdered sugar and place
    on lightly greased cookie sheet.
    Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes.
    Put on wax paper immediately and
    sprinkle with more powdered sugar.

    The cookies will be set but only
    lightly browned.
    Delicious!!!!

    This makes a large batch. It is easily
    cut in half.

    1 cup brown sugar
    1 cup shortening
    2 eggs
    1 tsp vanilla

    1 tsp baking powder
    1/2 tsp salt
    2 cups quick cook oats
    2 cups chopped gum drops

    In a large bowl cream together sugars and shortening till fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla; beat well. Stir together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Stir into creamed mixture. Stir in oats and gum drops. Roll into 1 inch balls and bake on greased cookie sheet at 350 degrees for 10-12 min.(lightly browned) Cool on wire rack. Makes 3 doz.

    Thanks so much. Nancy

  3. I enjoy making table runners also and have made some for my daughters for Christmas gifts. I have also given them Christmas tree skirts in the past. That was several years ago, maybe I can do it again next year. Just a thought.
    I don't really have a special cookie recipe as I don't like baking cookies. I do occasionaly make chocolate chip cookies.
    Thanks, Joanie. I enjoy your blog and Quilters Passion. Elaine (elayns)

  4. I love making quilts as gifts but this year I made several pincushions and needle cases for quilting friends and tabletoppers for others. Oh and some pillows too. A favorite Christmas cookie is a Buckeye, a peanut butter ball dipped in chocolate. You didn't really ask for a recipe so hopefully you didn't need that!

    1 lb. butter
    1 cup of icing sugar
    3 cups of flour (all purpose)
    1 dish of colored candy sprinkles or crushed peppermint candy canes
    You want to whip the butter until it is fluffy, then you beat the icing sugar and the flour
    Roll it and thick, take chunks and form into smaller balls which you flatten and then press the top into your dish or sprinkles or crushed candy canes
    BAKE on parchment at 350 degrees for 15 minutes or until light and golden
    Voilla - ENJOY eating them

    Directions

    Cream the butter and the sugar together. Add the egg and mix well. Mix in the orange peel and dark corn syrup. Add the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, ground cloves and salt, mixing until well combined. Chill dough for at least 2 hours, I like to chill overnight.
    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough out to 1/4 inch thick. Cut into desired shapes using cookie cutters. Place cookies 1 inch apart on the prepared cookie sheets.

  72. I am a brand-new quilter (Just made my first quilt last month). My first one was a baby quilt for my newborn nephew and I felt so good giving him something that I made with him in my mind and so much love. I think baby quilts will always be number 1 for me. There is so much love in a quilt. My favorite Christmas recipe is not baked goods since I don't have a sweet tooth. It's a spinach-artichoke dip with water chestnuts served in a bread bowl. Fan-tastic!
    Thank you for your generosity.

  99. I made my first mug rug this year from a free tutorial from a blog. But, since I'm not really a quilter, I had to make another one so I could give it as a gift to a teacher at the school where I volunteer. I bought a cute coffee cup and made some peanut butter cookies.

  104. This year I'm making some fabric bowls & putting in some goodies (wrapped of course). In the past I made lap quilts, but I am thinking some mug rugs & tea/coffee gifts for next year. Favorite Christmas cookies are snickerdoodles, but decorated...we love cinnamon! I have always made my kids gingerbread houses to decorate, but they are all grown up now, & no grandchildren yet.

    A lovely package & you thought about our tender skin as well! Thank you.

  105. I haven't given away "lots" of quilted gifts, yet, because I haven't made all that many. The 2 major things I've given so far have been wall hangings. I have 2 lap quilts almost ready (one's on the long arm and one is ready to be on there).
    I also participate in a lot of comfort quilts, where we each make a few blocks to go into a larger quilt. So, if that counts, I like doing that!! :)
