«Oldest ‹Older 401 – 522 of 522I wasn't sure what my favorite gift was until I saw your first comment. I learned to crochet just to make a blanket for my first niece. She loved it to pieces, literally!
Love this giveaway, thanks!
My favourite gift that I gave was a quilt I made for my best friend. As I was putting the blocks together I thought of her and the fun times we have had together. She was very surprised when she opened it.

Thank you for the wonderful give away!
The best give I gave was the quilt I made for my friends college graduation

Favorite gift I have ever given.... baby carrier to my dear friend
In grade school we made trivets for our mothers...sewing (of all things) yo-yos around pop bottle lids and attaching them to a wooden base. I made a strawberry and a grape bunch. I loved making the project and was so excited to give them to my mom!
favorite gift was matching hat and mitten sets I knit for my two nephews. maranolan1 at yahoo dot come
My favorite gift was an early birthday gift to my mother...her first grandchild. <3

My favourite gift is always the box of homemade chocolates that I give my dad every year. He is the biggest chocoholic I've ever known and he appreciates it. (and even tries to scam my brother and sister into giving him their share).
A table runner :)Thank you for the chance to win!

Mine is a gift i'm giving this year, but I can't say just yet!
best gift was a maid service.
I gave my husband a "nook" reader and he actually uses it! A big coup for me because he's hard to buy for. Thank you so much for the give-away chance. Happy Holidays!
The favorite gift I've given(so far) is aprons and chef hats I made for my grandchildren. They love to bake with their mommy so I hope these will encourage even more kitchen adventures!

My most favorite gift I ever gave was probably when my good friend bought an embroidery machine and I gave her her first thread kit. She has so much fun going through all of the thread.

My fave recent gift was the handmade pants I made for my son's birthday with an appliqued hammer and the words from one of his fave songs embroidered on them. He loves them and asks to wear them (he's 3).

I knitted a baby blanket for close friend, an artist who;s style I very much admire.
I put serious thought into choosing the yarn and and pattern.
She adored it and expressed to me just how much she appreciated both the work and love I had put into the project.

I sewed applique on my husband's tee shirts to cover the Hang Ten logo which he dislikes.
Last year I made my brother a photo album of pictures from my grandparents, parents, our generation and the next. My brother doesn't have a lot of possessions and nothing much 'special' and he was really touched...and it was a beautiful album if I say so myself!
I think the best gift I ever gave was a set of 15 books on American naval history. The look on my boyfriend's face as he opened them was priceless! The books are out of print and hard to find, and he's a huge nerd when it comes to ships and submarines.
Made a grand two tiered cake this year for birthday.
Thanks for the giveaway.
My favourite gift I ever gave has to be the knitted dalek I made for my husband.

I made a quilt of my hubbies old shirts, even his engagement shirt had a place in this special quilt.
Thanks for the chance to win.:))
My favourite gift I ever made was a purple-themed trip around the world lap quilt for my sister's birthday last year. I'm not long quilting and it was so satisfying to make something so nice!
I'm very proud of the laptop sleeve I sewed - one for my husband and the second one for my friend. I'm a beginner in sewing and they were done quite decently so I surprised myself :)
My favorite gift was saying yes when my husband asked me to marry him. I love him so and we have a great time together. He is the best gift I have received!

Such pretty fabric! I put together a memory book for a friend about to get married, with messages and photos from all 'the girls'. It was a lot of work, but so worth it.
Great giveaway! My favorite gift I ever made was a blanket for my daughter.
I love the quilts that my grandma has made me over the years, they are very special.

I come from a family of quilting pack rats and I found a nearly finished quilt top that my great-great-grandmother made that I finished and hand quilted for my grandmother. It was like getting one last gift from her own gradmother. kcarlson1152[at]hotmail.com

I think it is one I haven't given yet, a double wedding ring quilt for my brother and his new wife.
Favorite gift I ever gave was pajamas for my Mom -- she taught me how to sew and made my sister and I so many pairs as kids -- it felt great to return the favor, and even better to see how proud she was of my work!
My favorite gift I have given is a handmade shirt to my mom. She'd been wanting one and I made one that was just perfect for her. Thanks for the great giveaway!

Thanks so much! Lovely give away! My favourite gift was a knitted jacket for my mom on her 50iest birthday. She still wears it and it has been 15 years ago!
I made an album for my dad for his 60th birthday--60 Reasons We Love Dad, with memories and thoughts and pictures from all 8 of us kids. He loved it--and cried. He's not a crier, so it was pretty great.
The favorite gift I ever gave was a quilt to my parents. Thanks for the chance to win. Happy Christmas. stephspitzer at gmail dot com
Love make life...made a quilr already out of it and would love to make a toddler quilt for a little friend of mine.
My favorite gift was last years christmas. My (then) 4 year old bought me a fat quarter. Yep just one, he used his own money. Have yet been able to cut into it.
I have so many favorite gifts, but the thing they have in common is how happy they made the person. For example, the time I made my sister scream with delight at getting a Duran Duran album. Or the nerfs dart guns that kept 4 adults occupied for hours. :)
my favorite gift I ever gave was the gifting of my first ever quilt to my little cousin on his first birthday. I know he doesnt understand but it makes me smile to see him playing on it.

OMG! You stole my heart with that LSU quilt at the top of the page. I went to LSU, and I can see Tiger Stadium from the window at my desk.
My favorite gift I ever gave was a water colors quilted wall hanging.

My mother loves lighthouses and when I got my first real job at age 18, I bought her an oil painting of one at an art festival and took it home and gave it to her. I still remember the look on her face when I gave it to her.
It was when I finished making a sweater for my husband (my first adult size sweater). He was so ecstatic (maybe because our house is so cold?) and wore it for a week and told everyone about it. It was his facebook status! I felt like he really appreciated all the work I put into it (and the love). :-)
my favourite gift i haven't actually given yet. i'm expecting a baby girl, she is due on my husband's birthday, so it will be his next birthday gift :) (funny enough i found out i was pregnant a few days after my birthday so she was a gift for me too heheh)
I have to say my favorite gift I ever gave was the baby quilt I made my friend Katie for her first child. I've known her since we were toddlers. And it worked out that the quilt suits the personality of the boy.

I think the things i've made were the best gifts given.
Thanks for the giveaway!

The best gift I ever gave was right after I began working my very first job. I bought my mom a huge Super Soaker water gun. I spent like $50 on it from my first paycheck. When I surprised her on Mother's Day, she lit up and got so excited! She jumped up and screamed! It was so cute! Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
My favorite gift to give (and hardest cause I wanted to keep it) was the red and aqua quilt I gave my sister this year.
i am a follower.
My favorite gifts have been to my sister and my quilt friends. I guess because I know that they will like and appreciate the fact that I made them.
I gave my husband my heart nearly 18 years ago and he won't give it back. :)
Thanks for the chance.
The saw I got my husband last year because I got just the kind he wanted and he had no idea.
I've been doing a lot of pottery painting lately, and I've really loved giving the finished pieces as gifts!
Thank you for a wonderful giveaway!
My favourite gift I ever gave was a pair of socks I knit for my aunt.

i love giving things away that i've made, but the best would have to be blankets to my mom cause she appreciates them the most
I don't enter these things that often because I don't have any luck. But my daughter said I should so here goes, in the past she had me enter for her. This time I hope to win something for my wife.

When I was in high school, I designed and crossstitched personalized Christmas ornaments for all my friends! Although I put in a lot of late nights, I had tons of fun making them.
My favorite gift that I've given was the new Kindle my brother, my mom, and I gave my dad for his birthday/Christmas present. He really enjoys reading and it's something he was really hoping for. Thanks for the giveaway!

I hope I haven't already left a comment. My favourite gift is the quilt I made my daughter this summer. She didn't know anything about it until she got it and she loved it. Thanks for a chance!
That's a tough question! It would have to be the skateboard I gave to my son many years ago, he enjoyed it so much!

My fav gift I ever gave was the first quilt I ever made. I gave to my husband (then BF) his birthday 10 years ago. I look at it now and just cringe because I see all the flaws... and then I see he's curled up with it on the couch and smile.

I made some gloves specially for a friend who is missing one and a half fingers on one hand. It is so amazing to use your crafty skills for something helpful!
Thank you for your lovely giveaway and happy holidays!
Oh, and I follow your blog! I loved the Favourite Thing from yesterday! We should all love ourselves more :)
My favourite gift that I've ever given was a Queen-sized log-cabin quilt that I made for my brother and sister-in-law for their wedding. I still go over and "visit" it once in a while :-) Thanks for the chance to win.

My favorite gift that I ever gave away was a sewing machine to a very poor woman in Asia who can now provide for her family!
I like to make lots of homemade gifts but my favorite was probably a quilt I made for my grandma
Most favorite gift I gave was pearl earrings for my wife. I loved her reaction.
I made my husband a simple bag and he absolutely love it!

Does the gift of life count? I have the 2 best kids ever. ;)
The best gift I ever gave was a quilt I made for my niece when she had her first baby. It was the result of total inspiration.
My grandfather wanted a scarf "like we wore in the army air corps." All sorts of people went and bought him fancy expensive scarves, none of which suited him.... I drove to Galveston to the (real) Army Surplus Store (Col. Bubbie's), and got him an actual WWII Army Air Corps (that's pre-Air Force) scarf for $5. He wore it non-stop!
and, following!
My favrouite gift I gave was a painting (from a real artist lol)to my parents when I was eight years old... I had saved up for a longtime... I remember the shop people thinking I was so cute lol, and I felt so grownup!

A blog post to my step mom thanking her was the best gift I have given lately. She's a special lady.
Great material! Thanks!
I'm quite fond of the gift I gave my partner for his 30th birthday this year. He asked for a random soft toy, so I made him a giant bunny rabbit in fur fabric. Crazily enough, he loved it! One of the most random gifts I've ever given. :-)
Have a great Christmas!
Oh, I am now following your blog as well! (It's so much fun finding all these new blogs to follow via Sew Mama Sew's lists. Yay!)
