Thank you Carole, I will look into getting these products. If I may ask, where do you get the Aunt Martha towels? Is it something I must order online, or do craft and/or quilting stores carry the product?
I think I've seen the Transfer-eze so I will have to look for that as well.

Love making gifts! This year I am hunting down some vintage/antique baskets. Will fill with hand embroidered towels, a couple of aprons, a hand written recipe, the dry ingredients needed for the recipe and of course the actual baked goodies too!

I to am in a qwandry... it was my intention to hand craft this years gifts but now with the moving and house hunting...I am not sure how I will be able to pull it off... mostly because our stuff will be in storage...
I plan to haul my Featherweight machine around and some basic sewing tools...

I'm doing homemade emergency candles for everyone. I may also crochet hot pads and dishcloths for some of my aunts.

Katmom, why not consider doing gift baskets of home baked goodies? A simple homespun towel in the base of a flea market find basket, a couple of vintage tea cups as well. Add your favorite tea, cookies, some hand written recipes too. It is what comes from your heart that matters, not the actual gift  We tend to put to much pressure on ourselves for creating the perfect handmade gifts. Just look how much fun kids have with the boxes opposed to the presents. LOL!!

Joanna - I may do that for my MIL birthday gift, thank you. Guilty, I always put way too much thought into gifts.

Heather, those emergency candles are a great gift idea. I was given some as a gift a few years back and they are perfect with our emergency kit. Thankfully we haven't needed to use them but I'm grateful to have them.
