Hello and Happy New Year. Thanks for the giveaway. Linda
Hi and Happy New Year! I gave aprons to the extended family this year, and they were very well received.
the best gift i gave this year was a handmade Christmas, i bought very few gifts(just 1 electronic item for each of my kids) everything was handmade by me. Everyone seemed to really enjoy it, and I was not stressed at all. this will be a tradition each Christmas.
thanks, gunnymom86@yahoo.com

Hi Jan!
I think the best presents (cuz I gave alot of them) are the criss-cross coasters. Our dear friend Jan had made them for us, and although she told me how...I just didn't get it until I saw a tutorial online. :>) I made them for my quilty friends (grin!) and for the drs and nurses (both at the offices and at dialysis) who have been so terrific to Moe these last 6 months.
The best Christmas present I gave this year was a long sleeved pullover to my husband. He loves it!
One year we sent an anonymous chess set to a friend who had a terrible year following a divorce. It was a carved set of civil war chess pieces and we knew he would love it.
After a few years we told him it was from us, but he had great fun trying to figure out who was his secret santa!
Your gift will be lots of fun to receive!
The best gift I gave for Christmas was a doll quilt and pillow to my granddaughter--she loved it.

My 19-year old nephew wanted a Rolling Stones vinyl album, which I found very amusing! The Rolling Stones and vinyl were both way before his time.
Nice prize - count me in please.
Regards Julia :0)
the best gift I gave was a basket full of useful practical items
New goose down pillows for my husband and myself. He'd been complaining all year that all his feathers where gone. So I put them both in a large box to us from Santa he couldn't figure out what was in that box. :)

A $50 gift card to my grandkids to Borders book store to pick out the books THEY wanted to read.
I think it was the crocodile quilt I made for my son.
My best present - a picture framed of my son and husbund from their "bonding" trip. It brought a tear to their eyes. You have a wonderful blog and very generous drawing. Thank you for the opportunity. Dee - jessibir@hickorytech.net

A special book for my son
I love this question! I had my first job and worked so hard to earn money. I bought leather jackets for my dad and brother and a little portable tv for my parents. I am not sure what I bought mom individually. I will have to ask if she remembers!
Wow, Jan, I can think of so many things to do with that jelly roll! The best gift I gave this year (for Chanukah, not Christmas!) was a big book on crafts related to various holidays that I gave to my son. He's often coming up with craft projects and was thrilled with his gift.
I gave my mom a tablerunner that she never got to see...now it sits on my dresser. Thanks for the chance to win!
This is a fantastic qiveaway. I adore jellyrolls and would love one of those tins.
The best gift I gave this Christmas was a doll with it's own matching quilt, all made by me.

What a cute tin... I've never seen one of them before.
The best thing I gave for Christmas was a homemade quilted Christmas tree skirt that I made for my parents. They were very pleased! I think it so much fun giving homemade gifts, it makes it a bit more special.
We gave our kids a substantial cash gift after their home was destroyed in a hurricane. Thanks for having the wonderful giveaway.

I love scrapbooking about as equally as quilting. My best gift was a scrapbook to my sister of her life.
Hi, what a nice giveaway... :) The best gift I gave this year was a camera. I presented it to my brother's family. Their old one just broke down before Christmas. They have 2 girls (3 months and almost 2 years), and they make lots of sweet pictures of my nieces. I love to watch them. Regards, szkornelia
Hmmm, best present given...money! It was given to my college student daughter who is always broke and really needed it. Great give-away. Thanks.
I would so love to win this!
The first Christmas present to come to mind is 3 recipe books I gave my daughter when she moved off to Uni. She's always cooking something out of them.
The best gift I gave was TIME with my parents and my children. I also threw in some handmade gifts.

I love jelly rolls! What a nice idea. My favorite gift that I gave this year were quilted table runners for both sisters. We are all short on cash this year so we all said we weren't giving gifts. But I was able to create them out of scraps I already have so technically it didn't cost me anything - but they were thrilled.
best one I gave was to my youngest son, a book he cried over and it had a note inside from 'santa' :) xoxo melzie
