I never made a quilt and never received one, but I think they are such great pieces of art thet I would love to give/receive one. Maybe this time?

What a lovely quilt! I know quite a few soon-to-arrive babies who would love it :) I love any gift especially made for the recipient, but for general gifts for everyone, I love baking treats every year for Christmas and packaging them up to give away!

I love making gifts for my kids! Pretty little quilt.
I love to make something by hand to give someone...the best part is finding that Just Perfect idea!

The best gift I made was a little wallet for my son. He wanted a wallet so bad and I said I could make him one and he was so excited when it was finished!
Well, I've only given one quilt so far, but I've given many many cookies and candies each year. So, I'll say cookies this year, hopefully next year I will have many more quilty things done and given as gifts :)
This year my favorite thing to give has been mug rugs. I have made 3 already and have 2 more in the works, all of which match mugs I bought at the local potter's guild. Hurray giving all the aunts and uncles the same thing!
I like handmade with yarn - crochet or knit things.
I like knitted or crochet stuffed because its something I cant do myself.
I love to give homemade canned goods--pickles, jam, or jelly, usually. It takes time, but the result of one long day of work is many, many presents!
My favorite gifts to give are usually freshly baked goodies from my kitchen.

Beautiful! My favorite gifts to give right now are snuggly crochet items for winter - and I love to get all the home-made goodies from the kitchens of friends and neighbors for the holidays!
I enjoy knitting gifts.

I made all my present's... quilts! :)
My favorite handmade gift to receive actually is a blanket. They last forever and are warm, toasty and made with love!
I make lots of gifts for others - bags, aprons, quilts but sadly have never recieved many handmade gifts in return. Well apart from the "Car ferry" that my 3 yr old DS made for me from cereal boxes for Mother's Day

Most of the handmade gifts I've given recently were crocheted - my closest girlfriends will all be receiving a little crocheted something for Christmas, too.. but I'd love to make some mug rugs as gifts.
I am a follower, too :)
Oh gosh, don't know what my favorite is - they're all different; that's what makes them special! I like knowing someone's time went into something. I like giving little tea wallets, as they don't take much time (ha, paired with my previous comment! But they're good for last-minute "gosh, forgot about her!" gifts) and seem well-received. It's always fun to see someone using things you've made.
From my daughter's birth, the gifts I most treasured were a quilt and a handmade layette. Those were extra special. I like to give baby blankets, simple quilts. I am planning one right now for the birth of a friend's baby.
I love handmade quilts. My mom made one for me when I got married and this precious gift has now been handed down to my daughter who loves it just as much as I do.
Thanks for the lovely giveaway, the splash of colors are simply beautiful!

I do not have a favorite handmade gift to give or receive. I think the best part of the gift is the handmade part! So I'm constantly making new stuff, but I have to say, the gifts I make WITH my kids have by far been my favorites :)
My daughters are artists, and I love receiving one of their creations for a gift. :-)
The answer to the blog question is:
I'm not sure what's my favorite handmade gift to give or receive. To give, it would probably be knitted or crocheted items. I appreciate handmade items, so probably just about anything will do.
I am a fan on facebook and a follower via GFC.
My favorite homemade gift is a Crochet hat and gloves. Paula Caudill paulasue39@yahoo.com

I love making pillowcases as childrens gifts and for adult women I love making "Church Lady Aprons" they are reversible.
Definitely a bed sized quilt handmade by moi is my favourite gift to give...(well, come to think of it---I would love to receive one too--just has never happened!)
I love to make quilts for babies. Nothing like seeing a baby all bundles up in something soft.
I enjoy making and giving baby quilts, doll quilts and baby bibs!

My favorite gifts to give or receive are those from the heart. If I'm giving something from the heart, I like to create it especially for that person and give it a unique edge. If I'm getting something from the heart, I appreciate it that much more because someone took the time to think about me.

One of my favorite gifts that I made was a little dress for my friend's daughter's first birthday. It was the Birthday Party Dress by Oliver + S.
I usually gift my handmade jewelry. : )
This is beautiful!!
My fav gift to give - crocheted baby things. I still have blankets from my great grandmother, and I love the idea that it is a gift that will last and last. My fav homemade gift to receive - my sister's bags. She does a great job picking fabrics that match my tastes, and great stitch work as well.
Happy Holidays!

That's the clue. Homemade - comes from you, yourself, and is from your heart. I made lap-sized quilts for my mom, sister and 2 nieces for Christmas. You don't have to spend a lot of money. Give from the heart. Best gift you will ever receive. Any child, even adult, would be proud to receive such a precious gift from you.
Merry Christmas

Super cute giveaway!
I unfortunately don't have sewing skills, but like to play with paper, so I've given homemade cards to people before as gifts. I love to get something that I can't make myself for a gift. Once my SIL knit me a purple dress. It's beautiful.
I love knitting for others, if they are really lucky they get socks!

I love receiving homemade cookies and candy as gifts.
I love making gifts that reuse sentimental items. I'm currently doing a paper crafting project for a friend using the pages of a book that belonged to her mother. And i love receiving anything handmade! Everything people have used their hands and creativity to make feels special to me.
I love getting handmade things I can't make myself, like soap! And I've never been very good making beaded jewelry, so that's a good one too.
Handmade chocolates are always a winner.
I love receiving jewelry and scarves.. and gift cards to crafty places! My favorite things to give are gifts to little ones. They are so much easier to give to then adults! I don't have any exacts though. This is a beautiful quilt by the way!
