Yes, I get together with friends for gift crafting sessions

When my children were younger (they’re grown now), I used to do that. However, now I’m more likely to do it on my own. However, I enjoy having my granddaughter (she’s 7) come over and quilt with me, and I’m looking forward to doing some post-Christmas (more relaxed!) baking with her.
-
yes
-
We meet every week.
-
There are a group of us that started at the Bernina store. The owner retired but the group of us still get together either in November or December to finish up Christmas projects. It is great to get together with everyone, catch up and see and get ideas for Christmas.

I don’t get together with friends for gift crafting sessions. But I can see how that would be fun and efficient. Maybe next year!

YES. As much as I can. Sewing and quilting with friends during the holidays gives us much needed respite from the fast paced times of the season. We just laugh and drink coffee and get some work done, too! I love my sewing buddies!

My favorite winter garment is flannel pajama/lounging pants!

Sewing with my granddaughter. She’s 7 and loves it!

Years ago, my sister-in-law and I used to get together to make the year’s Christmas gifts. She now lives in another country, so we can no longer get together, but my niece and I share emails and photos of all the projects we are working on, which is almost as fun!

I wish we did get together to craft, maybe something to plan for in the future.

Unfortunately I do not have any local sewing buddies, so I do my gift making on my own at home. The upside is I don’t have to drag my machine in my car.

I try, but as my best friend lives hours away we get together via computer connections and cameras like Skype and Facetime. We stay as connected as possible and try to see one another at least once a quarter at which time we ignite each other’s creativity so that when we are apart we are working on new things and enjoying it all the more.
