My favorite gift I ever gave might just be the first baby quilt I ever made.

hollyctr said...

I learned to crochet making washclothes for all my friends for Christmas. It was a blast!!!

Moneik said...

I made a friendship quilt for an online friend. Her husband is dying and it meant a lot to give her something to wrap up in, even though I can't be with her.

once i learned to knit socks to make them for my brother as a surprise - i measured his feet from a photograph and they actually fit very well.

The best gift I ever gave was when my husband turned 30. I gave him a gift certificate for a tattoo of his choice. Seemed like the best way to celebrate a milestone birthday.

hamudale said...

What a generous giveaway. thank you for the chance to win! The best gift I ever gave was a father's day gift to my hubby. There were several bottles of wine that were all about him and being a dad. See my post to understand. http://pinkpetunias.typepad.com/my_weblog/2008/08/fathers-day-gift-posting---better-late-than-never.html.html

A little mini quilt to my husband for our second (cotton) anniversary.

Candace said...

You stole my heart when I saw your banner with the LSU quilt!

My favourite gift was my wedding gift from my mother who made me a double-wedding ring (machine-pieced, hand-quilted) in purple and gold. On the corner where she signed the quilt it has a little LSU surround by two conjoined hearts since my husband and I met passing notes in class while attending LSU :)

Wendy said...

I know it should be a handmade item, but the most special gift I ever gave was to my husband on our wedding day. There was a certain watch he'd wanted since he was a boy and he'd asked me for a fake one for a present. I bought him the real one (and very expensive it was too!). Seeing him wearing it later and him saying thank you was very emotional!

Karen P. said...

I am very new to quilting & made my mil a table topper I'm very proud of. hope she likes it as much as I do!

Clare said...

some wristwarmers I gave my grandmother the year she died. I found them when we were cleaning up her house - they were filthy and worn out, which was perfect :)

Kerry & Ronan said...

My favorite gift I ever gave was when I made my kids Waldorf Dolls for Christmas and told them I'd stuffed them with love. They still have and love their dolls!

Tiffany said...

I think my favorite so far was the quilt for my sister - she was visiting when I gave it to her, and was awesome to see her reaction. <3

Bailey said...

Most favorite gift to my husband was the unexpected news that I was expecting. We were just coming to terms with how our life was at the moment.

Mary Grace McNamara said...

A quilt I made for one of my sisters for her wedding gift was my favorite to give. I delivered it in person and no one except for my husband knew I was making the trip from Massachusetts to Florida with it. I showed up at her door with two suitcases, one for my stuff and one for the quilt, and not enough cash to pay the taxi driver! You can imagine their surprise and of course they wondered if there was something wrong! It was great fun and the best kept secret in the history of our family!

My favorite gift ever is the quilt I'm working on for my mom. Almost all of it is from my grandmothers stash and she had even started some of the blocks. She passed away 3 years ago and I know my mom will be happy to see the fabrics.

java diva said...

ugh, my fave gift I ever gave, ugh, I have tons, I just love giving my friends gifts and seeing them freak out. I think maybe the matching aprons I made for my MIL and daughter. She thought my FIL had told me that's what she wanted for Mother's day, and he hadn't, so she was very excited to receive that.

Bree said...

Make life is super awesome!
My favorite gift - a friend and I sent a third friend on a trip to Ireland. She cried when we gave her the tickets :)

Stacy said...

I made my mom an apron last Christmas and she loved it.

Emily Lee said...

One year I gave my grandfather a beaded bowl that I made. I coated it in beeswax and laboriously placed individual seed beads into the wax in an intricate pattern. It took me months, and my grandpa loved it. And I loved him.

Krystina said...

My favorite gift I ever made was a pair of knitted socks. They took forever, but well worth it.

Emily said...

My best present so far has been a play kitchen for my daughter. She loves it! This year is the first year since childhood that I made gifts. I hope my family members like them!

Lizzie Bordello said...

I made a complete, from scratch, replica of the "Grail Diary" from _Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade_ for the husband. He loved it!

Jessica Christensen said...

Favorite gift was the year we had NO money, so we went to the dollar store and bought little dart guns for all my husband's brothers, brothers-in-law, and his dad. We had them open @ the same time. The tags said, "May the best man win!" We weren't there, but we heard there was an epic battle. This was years ago, and it's still one of the favorite Christmas stories.

Amanda Fetters said...

I think maybe the pasta machine my husband gave me one year. That thing rocks.

Barbara Sindlinger said...

My favorite gift is what I gave my friendship group ladies this year - I had my sister cut from her Cricut machine each of their names and a little clip art piece of vinyl so they can customize their sewing machines.

I will become a follower on the blog but I am a friend of yours on Facebook too.

And stamped octopus and birds and ants... stiched wind rose and fishes... etc

Lane said...

Hi, Beck. I think my favorite gift to give was quilts to my Mom and sisters. They were nice and I worked on them most of the year. All were different and one was a lap size and the other two were wall hangings. I don't think I ever kept a holiday secret for 10 months before that. Lane

Selina Marie said...

My favorite gift that I ever gave was a quilt that I made for daughters 8th birthday. I quilted lyrics to her favorite songs into the borders. I know it is something she will cherish forever. She actually cried when I gave it to her.

Wobbly Bobbin said...

My favorite gift was one I just gave my dad for his birthday: I made a quilted placemat out of pinwheels, scotch-guarded it and gave it to him with a bottle of wine and some wine accessories for his finished basement bar.

Deanna said...

The best gift I gave was to my husband... He is a John Deere fan and kept talking about this model tractor, going to the store to see if it was still there, telling me not to buy it cuz he doesn't really need it. Well, the look on his face when I gave it to him was priceless!

arlette said...

My fave gift to give has to be my first big quilt, it's a quilt for my parents bed, they're still thrilled for it

Mommarock said...

Best gift I ever gave.. gosh that is hard. I would have to say that it was a camera for my dad. He had started to shake from Parkinsons (which we didn't know he had yet), and so his pitures from a cheapy camera weren't turning out anymore. I had joined the Navy, and so I had some money of my own for a change. I saved up and bought him "a real camera". His pictures were great for a while after that, and he was happy.. so were we.

Shannon said...

Awesome giveaway!!

Fav gift...my mum has arthritis and she had to have her wedding ring cut off (she's a widow), I had it repaired and put on a necklace so she could still wear it.

Lise said...

Oh, hard to say! My most inspired was giving my partner a flying lesson--she loved it! But the most meaningful, of course, are the handmade ones. Thanks for the chance!

Farscapegirl said...

I think the bed quilt I made my brother for his birthday was my most favorite gift I ever made & gave. He was really touched and kept thanking me,for months afterwards, every time I spoke with him on the phone.

Cyndi said...

Hi Becky! I guess I'd have to say that the most favorite gift I ever gave was the GO! cutter I won from a fellow blogger. I gave it to one of my blog followers that has lung cancer because I thought it would make quilting easier for her.

Thanks so much for the great give away and the opportunity to win. (BTW, love your LSU quilt - I'm a Tiger Fan myself as I'm originally from Baton Rouge and will be spending this Christmas there!)

Merry Christmas to you and your family and all the best in the New Year!

Cyndi

Karen said...

My favorite gift(s) I've ever given were those from my late husband's estate sale. I was able to give away 2 cars (one to a very good friend who helped me with the estate sale and one to my ex-husband) and an electronic keyboard as a Secret Santa present for a local boy who had lost his mother to alcoholism (like my husband). Out of tragedy came something positive.

Cricket said...

My favorite gift I gave was a set of dishes I gave my mother for Christmas when I was about 11. I saw it in a flyer, and knew she would love them. It said 5 piece set, and - coincidentally - we had 5 people in our family. I saved up the $25, went to the store and... it was one place setting for $25. But my dad, in a surprising gesture of compassion, bought the other four.

Kacey said...

i gave my dad a custom book of speeches given by a great man that he happened to know personally. my dad hates presents...but he LOVED that one!

Mystica said...

My favourite was the log cabin quilt I made for my second daughter!

Alli said...

I think that would be a knitted goldfish I gave to my husband back in high school (we weren't dating, yet). I made up the pattern myself! So hard to make a garter stitch fish, I know. ;> But he still has it, so I'm happy.

Connie Kresin Campbell said...

My favorite gift was a new saw for my husband. I had to have a couple guys help me haul it in. We were in the middle of a renovation and I got to hide it under bundles of insulation. He never imagined he would get it for Christmas.

Staci said...

Hi Sarcastic, it is Confused here!
I think the best gift was the play kitchen we gave our children. They spent so much time with that toy, it was worth every dime! They used it for years. I actually cried when we got rid of it, there were so many happy memories attached to it.

I don't know. I feel like I don't give very good gifts, even though I try. I made a scarf for a gift exchange recently, and the girl that ended up with it really liked it, so I'll just go with that. Thank you for the giveaway!

My favorite gift I've made is the charm-pack skirt I made as a surprise for my friend's little girl. It was super easy to make and she loved it! Thanks so much for participating in the giveaway!

The 6 miniature xmas trees that I made for neices and nephews last year. For each one I made 120 ornaments made from beads...the kids were speechless.

My favourite gift to give is one that is a surprise. Like the homecooked meals I took to a friends place the other week just so she could have a couple of nights off cooking.

The best gift I ever gave was a quilt to my sister and each of her three children made from their husband/dad after he died. No words to describe it. blessings, marlene

I thinks its the quilt I gave to my Grandma for her birthday. She used it in the nursing home for ten years.

The gift was for my DDIL. She had just started quilting and fell in love with Heather Ross's Lightning Bug line. I found a kit complete with backing and pattern. She loved it. She said it was the best Christmas present she ever got. She was so appreciative!! Thanks for the chance to win

I made my parents a Turning Twenty (x2) quilt for their 40th anniversary. My sisters and I collected fabrics depicting events and memorable things from their years together. They were so surprised!

Ohwee! I want to win these.
The best gift I gave that I loved was a pair of earrings I made from Swarkroski crystals. They were delicate, yet very stylish; I am certain the owner of them received alot of comments about how beautiful they are.

The favorite gift I ever gave was my first quilt that I gave to my husband who "oohed" and "aahed" over it. His reaction led me to realize that I really liked making it and sewing in general -- turning me into the seamstress that I am today!
