Yes I know it&#8217;s June, but I have quite a few family members and planning has to start early so money isn&#8217;t spent all at once. I have 7-9 people to make gifts for. And this year, well this year, everyone is going to be getting quilts. Yep quilts! I know this is a large task. I mean 8-10 quilts in 6 months seems like an unimaginable feat, but I am up for the challenge. To be honest, if I have fabric and a sewing pattern, I can sew a quilt top over a weekend. So mom, stepdad, 2 younger sisters, 1 brother-in-law, 1 niece, and 1 nephew (the other nephew already has one). I also have 2 step-siblings. Depending on the time, they may or may not get a quilt. I love them but time is of the essence. They&#8217;ll probably each get one after Christmas. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ericasjourney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/heart-1001x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-689\" width=\"402\" height=\"411\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ericasjourney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/heart-1001x1024.jpg 1001w, https:\/\/ericasjourney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/heart-293x300.jpg 293w, https:\/\/ericasjourney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/heart-768x786.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ericasjourney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/heart-1501x1536.jpg 1501w, https:\/\/ericasjourney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/heart.jpg 1564w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 402px) 100vw, 402px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">I already have a few ideas for most of my family members <br>Youngest sister &#8211; loves Scooby-Doo and The Little Mermaid<br>Mom &#8211; I&#8217;m going to let her pick the pattern and the fabric<br>Stepdad &#8211; something Carolina Panthers related<br>Nephew &#8211; Mickey Mouse related<br>Niece &#8211; Heart shaped quilt created by Piece &amp; Love <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/DfuFMorMgEA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/DfuFMorMgEA<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">Good ideas right?!
