Stephanie DosReis, a.k.a. A Little Deer, took the handmade pledge and decided to make this beautiful quilt for her son Gabe. It's adorned with a nice mix of blue and green patches, some bird silhouette appliqués, and a sweet pair of words, "Keep Warm."

I love that the quilt is handmade; it's a thoughtful and unique gift that her son will be sure to cherish for years to come. Will you be making or buying gifts this holiday season?

Flip*Flop
I'm going to try. I am just learning to sew.
1I am painting all my gifts
2I took the handmade pledge! I'm already an Etsy addict anyway.
3I'm trying to do a little bit of both
4I love Etsy and NYC holiday fairs! But the DIY gifts will have to wait until next year, I'm not really as crafty as I like to think I am.
5I never give handmade. The only thing I always do is make cookies for my friends to go with their gifts.
Maybe if I could sew, I would, but unfortunately, I can't!
6A little of both I think maybe.
7I'm not very crafty, but I made my holiday cards this year because I was inspired to do so. They turned out perfectly, and I'll be doing it every year from now on! I don't make actual gifts, though.
8Cool quilt. I'll see if I have the energy to make anything, it's actually a lot more fun to give/receive stuff like that.
9I wish I had the time...
10I'm not very good at arts and crafts
I'd love to be able to make things like this
quilt!
11My girl friends and sisters are all getting clutch purses/ pouches, with a favorite quote, song lyric, or inspirational phrase embroidered on the lining. Both of my nephews are getting fleece hats and scarves with their initials appliqued on them.
12I bought my husbands main gift, and we'll probably buy our munchkin some things but I'm still working on ideas for the rest of the family.
I'm only doing store brought...
13I try to make a few things myself.
My mother wants a red watch, so rather than just get her some cheap thing from a chain store, I am making her a watch w/ red beads... 4 strands banded together w/ a square face. It's really cute & because I have the beads, I can make bracelets & earrings to match.
I am into crafts. I'm making a holiday candle for my grandmother, bracelets for my secret santa, earrings are easy for everyone. I even made myself a wreath for the front door.
If you don't have lots of money to spend, spending your time on someone is a much sweeter gift!
