How about a block keeper? I have a 14 inch square of felt like material that a 14 inch square of thicker gauge tablecloth plastic is sewn onto. The plastic is layed on top of the pinked felt square and a 1/4 inch seam is sewn on one side. A ribbon is sewn on the felt on the opposite side, in the middle. You put your unsewn block pieces in it to travel with. I've used mine a lot for going to classes for both sewn and unsewn blocks. You roll it up and tie the ribbon in a bow.
I have also used it for a quick quilting design trial template. I put my finished block under the plastic and use a dry erase marker to try out quilt designs.If you used different coloured felt and rolled them up, they would look cute in a container in the middle of the table.

Pin cushion in the shape and colour of a pumpkin (it was an Autumn retreat), a large thread catcher with the top pin cushion, a chance to win free LAQ from one of the members who donated it, homemade Martha Steward cookies and I can't remember all the others.
Smaller retreats that I sponsored: 2 1/2"x6 1/2" rulers, binding winders, plastic coated card of Jelly Roll instruction.
I really only know how to make quilts, no luck sewing anything else. I have wholesale accounts, so less expensive than buying retail.

Here is a cute pattern for a box/basket to hold supplies.

1. A tabletop trash basket/scrap-thread holder for use at workshops
2. A flannel/other soft fabric case for slipping one's rotary cutter into (like glasses cases)
3. A long, thin "tube" with elastic at the bottom for holding those plastic grocery store bags
4. A smallish quilted square backed with that grippy shelf-liner to place beside your sewing machine to hold a pair of scissors, an awl, seam ripper, etc. right beside your work space. (Couldn't sew without mine!)
