Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I belong to a small quilt group (15-20 women). We exchange small things each Xmas and I'm running out of ideas. We do a lot of charity quilts. This year I'm considering cutting out blocks (maybe Jacobs Ladder) to give each person. We would probably get together (maybe March) and make 1-2 charity quilts from these blocks. Only two of use are beginning quilters, the rest of us are 5-10 year quilters and really don't need more FQ etc., or is this a bad idea. The backing & batting is provided free.

A couple years ago I was given a key chain with a spool of thread as the holder on the ring. I love it. I wonder if you could find some things like that at the local shop...

before you speak THINK
T – is it True? H – is it Helpful? I – is it Inspiring? N – is it Necessary? K – is it Kind?

Last year at our quilt guild we have a gift exchange and I made a couple fabric boxes - a small one, which I put some Christmas candy in and a little bigger one just the size to put some fat quarters in - they were a hit - especially the one filled with fat quarters. I cut the fat quarters from my own sash.
Thank you so much!! I just ordered 4 custom ones with my quilter friends names on them plus one for me. These are so handy. I already have one without my name on it and I am always misplacing it or someone has borrowed it in a class. These make great gifts!
Let peace begin with me and you.
Thank you! Great suggestion.....ordered for my retreat buddies.
Thank you so very much for sharing. I want hem all!,,,

Nancy, what a wonderful idea, cheap too but so useful and up to date. I love the idea.
put off till tomorrow what you can do today, and if you procrastinate long enough, you may never have to do it.
Thanks QuitnNan for the link. I ordered some of these rulers for stocking stuffers.
