TIPS FOR MAKING QUILTED GIFTS IN QUANTITY: HOW TO STAY ORGANIZED

Candy Glendening
0 Comments

Whether you are preparing for a craft or art fair or you want to get a start on
quilted gifts for the holidays, it pays to get organized. That way, you won’t be
swamped as the deadline approaches, and you’ll have more time to enjoy your
customers or time with friends and family. So these tips for making quilted
gifts in quantity by Candy Glendening are exactly what you need!

For advice on how to prepare your workspace and materials for efficient — and
enjoyable — gift-making, we asked Candy Glendening for her tips. Candy is one of
the busiest fiber artists we know. She’s not only the mom of two (now grown)
children, but also has a thriving career, bakes regularly, and dyes her own
fabric.


HOW CANDY MAKES IT ALL WORK


1

Make Similar, Customizable Projects: When I need to make several quilted gifts,
I often choose to make the same thing for several people; it allows me to make
them assembly line style. Each present is still unique, though; I dye fabrics a
palette of colors that work well together and cut out and prep one of each piece
in each color. Then, I mix up the colors so that each item is unique. I then
personalize each one further with some appliqué or Free Motion Machine Sketching
that fits each person’s character.


2

Create a Staging Area: I am very lucky to have a studio in my house (it’s one of
the bedrooms), so I can leave projects laid out and ready for me to step in and
stitch or iron for a few minutes when I have time.

Candy creates a staging area for quilting gifts in multiples, so she can work on
them when she has time.


3

Label and Photograph for Reference: With big projects like a group of bags, I’ll
label the pieces with some masking tape so I don’t get confused (oftentimes
there are several similar-sized rectangles that have completely different
functions in a bag). I also take a picture with my cell phone once I’ve decided
upon the color combinations; that way, when I have a big stack of handles next
to my sewing machine for topstitching, I can quickly re-match them up with the
bags I decided they belonged to!


4

Batch Your Tasks: When every second counts, every time you have to wait for the
iron to heat up, or change out the thread and foot on your sewing machine adds
to the total time spent on making. Topstitching 5 sets of handles doesn’t take
that much longer than one, and it saves a lot of time in the long run! I learned
this when prepping for the local art shows I participate in.


5

Create a Temporary Storage System: If I’ve got to put a project on hold because
of another deadline, I’ll put everything associated with the first project in a
plastic bin with a lid, making sure there are masking tape labels on anything
that isn’t totally obvious, and put it away on a shelf.


6

Clean Up When Chaos Threatens: Although my studio may look like a disaster zone
when I’m working, the mess is usually caused by several piles of things that all
belong to the same project, so that doesn’t bother me. There still will be a
creep of random bits of fabric or pattern pieces that get shoved to the corners
of the studio, however, so every once in a while I’ll have to stop and do a big
clearing up session. This invariably happens right after my Christmas quilting
projects are done!

The finished bags, ready for giving! By Candy Glendening.


START STITCHIN’

Stitching up multiples of anything can be scary–when you’re in the midst of it
you feel like you’ve been working forever with nothing to show for it; but then,
all of a sudden you’ve got five or 10 completely finished items, and that’s
exciting! I hope I’ve given you a couple of tips that will help you find time to
make some handmade gifts for your loved ones!

Create Handmade Gifts for All: 18 Projects for Everyone on Your List

Now that you have Candy’s tips for making quilted gifts in quantity, you’ll want
to download her eBook, Create Handmade Gifts for All: 18 Projects for Everyone
on Your List. It’s full of easy handmade gifts for quilters and sewists. And we
hope you’ll consider sharing your creations with us on Instagram, Facebook, or
the comments below. We look forward to seeing your work!
