    I received a receiving blanket for my first baby handmade by a friend. it was before I started sewing and it was simple, yet so much better that any of the store bought ones I had. It may have inspired my jump into sewing

    My great aunt, who knit me a sweater every single year for Christmas when I was growing up, knit a baby blanket for each of my kids. They are both very attached to their blankets and it gives me so much joy to see how dearly they are loved by someone I love so dearly.

    My sister made all her bridesmaids necklaces for the ceremony. I was one of them so she made one for me. I love it and love that she put so much time and effort into the gifts for us.

    my great aunt made me a quilt for a wedding present. My grandma who had passed away when I was a little girl had embroidered the quilt blocks and my great aunt (her sister) pieced and quilted them together. It has a big block that says their names on it too. It is a precious gem.

    I was given a baby stroller blanket with coordinating burp cloths, pacifier clips, hair bows, two onesies and a diaper bag that came with a changing pad and two bottle caddies for my daughter. It was from an elderly lady from our church and you can see the love that went into making all of it.

    When I was younger my grandma gave me a blanket she made and I still have it but I used it as a baby doll blanket. When I was in high school my best friend gave me a fleece tie blanket with my favorite animal on it (wolf). My mom also made me and my best friend matching knit hats. Mine was blue and black and my friends was black and blue!

    My grandmother made me a “granny dress” when I was about 6 years old. Some kids poked fun at me for wearing such a long dress. I guess it wasn’t in style at the time, I don’t know. All I do know is that I loved that dress and wore it proudly, and I loved my grandmother for making it. That’s when I understood how special hand made gifts were – its all the love that’s put into them that makes them so special. And the gifts that my grandmother made for me also inspired me to do the same with my own children. Just this past Halloween I hand-sewed part of my eleven year old son’s costume. He needed a vest to go with his Bilbo Baggins costume. I was very proud of myself for not messing up on this project. It took a full day to complete, but it was worth it, and my son just loves it. These past couple of days since Halloween, He’s been wearing it during the day and sleeping in it at night. That’s the power of hand-made things. It’s a true compliment to the maker.

    The nicest handmade gift I ever received was promptly stolen from me! A couple years ago my work did a Yankee-Swap gift exchange and the first gift I picked from the pile was a lovely extra-long scarf in varying shades of green- my favorite color! Unfortunately, one of the next people in the gift-swap-game decided to “steal” instead of taking her chances on another gift from the pile… I ended up with something really ugly and useless in the end. Oh well, we all got a laugh out of it!

    My husbands adopted little brother made a clay doxie in art class for me one year at Christmas time because my dog Winston is a doxie. It’s the cutest, goofiest thing you ever saw, but for him to think of me at 8yrs old doing crafts was pretty awesome

    While I quite frequently give handmade gifts, I rarely ever receive them. So I’d probably have to go with the things my kids make me. Last year in art they made melted glass tiles and one of them was turned into a necklace charm. It’s beautiful, and knowing one of my children made it for me makes it even more special.

    My favorite handmade craft I ever man is barn bag that had soft stuffed farm animals that went with it. It could hag on a door knob. It had windows and the opening was a the barn door where you could put the little animals. I think the pattern came from a Families circle magazine printed in the early 80’s. I don’t know what happened to my magazine. Would love to have it again.

  174. Cheryl Lea

    11/03 at 12:37 PM

    Thanks for the coffee cozy template! My 9 yr old DD is dying to learn to sew and this looks like the perfect pattern to start with–small, simple, and she can’t practice by making everyone on her Christmas list one as a gift!

  175. Cheryl Lea

    11/03 at 12:40 PM

    I give handmade gifts, but don’t think I’ve ever received one except from my DD. My fav handmade gift from her was a little clay flowerpot that she made that was filled with handprint flowers. I think she was about 4 when she made it.

    That’s hard to decide. My daughter has made me a lot of things. I really liked the notebook cover she made.
