    I went to a local craft fair and the one thing I remember see a TON of people at was a place that sold curling iron holder things. They look something like this: http://cherishedhandmadetreasures.bl...n-holders.html
    You can put your cooling iron in it when you are traveling if your curling iron isn't cooled down. The ones I saw were a long U shape instead of coming to a point at the bottom. They also used the silver quilted ironing board fabric on the inside. They were going like hot cakes. Hope that helps!

I am looking to do something a little different as my contribution. Any help you can offer will be great. Thanks
    I made needle books for our "shop" at the quilt show, scissor holders, lots of on/line patterns, scissor fobs out of beads, pretty much sold out...

    Quilted Christmas stockings usually sell well.

    You guys are amazing. I have spent hours online checking out all these ideas. The weekend I'll be busy trying to get some of them done. I have passed the info on to some of the other girls who are still trying to think of the "perfect" item to sew up. Thanks again!!!!

    I often wonder how many hours you all spend on this board. I sometimes think I should be doing something else but just can't walk away. You are an awesome bunch
