I don’t think I have received a homemade gift in a long time, however my mom has given me the tools needed to make things. She bought me my first sewing machine, gifted me money to help me save up for my new one, and bought me my serger. Sewing has been a sanity saver since I became a stay at home mom.
I love Riley Blake designs!

Best ever handmade gift ever…has been the quilt my Daughter made…& brought home (she lives in NC….& I live in OH) to give to me, while I was doing Radiation for 7 weeks..daily… away from Home. She wanted me to have “Daughter Hugs” with me thru the process. BEST Hugs ever!!!! :) I am Blessed!
My favorite homemade gift was a book written and illustrated by my daughter. It was so heartfelt and she spent a month working on it. Gifts from children are the best, because they don’t always have money to buy a present or supplies. So they give you everything they have instead.
Anything from my sister- she’s super talented and so creative she pretty much never uses a pattern! I look forward to her gifts every year!!
The bracelets are lovely! This might be a good gift for my niece. Thanks for sharing.
The gift I have received is a cross stitch of my home. Made by my mother. Oh the new machine looks wonderful.

One year my mom made me a crochet granny square afghan. I still enjoy using it.
Hands down, it’s the crocheted bedspread and afghan set my mom made me. I know how many hours she put into it and I know how much she enjoyed putting love into every stitch.
One of my students gave me a scrap wood TexasA&M piece that he had made in art.

The best hand-made gift I’ve ever received is when I was about 8 years old. My mom had broken her ankle was instructed to stay off it as much as possible. It was winter, she had 7 other kids and Christmas was just weeks away….Since she couldn’t go shopping, she hand-stitched each of us a pair of pajamas. The neighbor lady helped to cut out the pieces, but Mom made every loving stitch, including the buttonholes!
My mom made me a chair out of twigs. Loved it

What a fun machine to do some sewing and quilting for my grandsons! Thanks.
My grandmother and grandfather collaborated to make my favorite handmade gifts.

Within two years, both of my grandparents passed away, yet we have these sweet gifts that my daughters play with every day.
The best handmade gift I’ve ever received was the needle point my grandma made for my first baby’s nursery. It’s of a quote she had hanging in her babies’ rooms when they were little. Totally priceless and perfect.

I love these scrappy little friendship bracelets, and any new ideas for stuff to torture, I mean, give to my patient friends is always a great idea to me! I think the best handmade gift I’ve ever received was an Italian cookie cake from my grandma. She spent weeks baking batch after batch of Italian cookies and then assembled them in a gorgeous mountain (also known as a cookie cake) for my college graduation party. Everyone raved about it, but it was so special to me because I knew it was made 100% with love. :)

My mom made me a great afghan that is the perfect size for curling up on the couch.
The best handmade gift I received was a necklace from my sister. I like chunky beads. The necklace kept breaking on her until she reinforced it. Knowing that the spent hours on something to make me smile is why I love it!

My late Aunt always made our Christmas gifts. It was so exciting to see what she did every year as she was always learning new skills. It is difficult to choose but My favorite gift she gave me was teaching me to be creative.
