I have posted a <a href=\"http:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2009\/10\/gift-bags-return\/\" target=\"_blank\">link<\/a> on my tutorial page for a few years that shows you how to make holiday gift bags.

You can make a bag to use for birthdays or general gift giving.<\/p>\n<p>Reasons to make and use gift bags:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Festive gift bags save time during gift giving times, because they are quick to use.<\/li>\n<li>Great use of all that festive fabric now that you have decided not to make a Christmas or ___fill in the holiday blank___ quilt.<\/li>\n<li>You are not using paper that will get ripped off and recycled in a month anyway.<\/li>\n<li>No tape.<\/li>\n<li>Easy to open and look in if the gift tag falls off.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Fair warning<\/span>: You will can only win or be entered in the drawing if you make a gift bag and show a picture of it somewhere.<\/p>\n<p>I have the following books to giveaway:<br \/>\nMaster\u2019s Art Quilts v.1 (see <a href=\"http:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2008\/06\/masters-art-quilts-major-works-by-leading-artists\/\" target=\"_blank\">review<\/a>)<br \/>\nMaster\u2019s Art Quilts v.2 (see <a href=\"http:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2011\/08\/book-review-masters-v-2\/\" target=\"_blank\">review<\/a>)<br \/>\nArt Quilt Portfolio (see <a href=\"http:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2012\/05\/book-review-art-quilt-portfolio-the-natural-world\/\" target=\"_blank\">review<\/a> )<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.larkcrafts.com\/bookstore?isbn=9781454702948\" target=\"_blank\">Quilt it with Love<\/a>: The Project Linus Story<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.larkcrafts.com\/bookstore?isbn=9781454702825\" target=\"_blank\">Shape Workshop for Quilters<\/a><\/p>\n<p>+ 3 older charm packs<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to Shannon at Lark Crafts and to Ray Hemachandra for sending along the books and being supportive of the Black Friday Sew-in.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As I may have mentioned, I am posting questions throughout the day that will enable you to be eligible to win prizes during the Black Friday Sew-in.\u00a0 Some of the prizes will be awarded in a random drawing, but if I really like an answer, I might award that person a prize as well.
