    A bag for holding those plastic bags from grocery stores etc. make out of a leg from denim jeans....put a quilt block in the middle, or embroidery, or iron on patch...make a handle to hang over a peg or nail. i can think of many ways to make one. Or decorate.

    Every winter I make bags and fill with rice sometimes add a removable pillowcase to cover it. Pop in the microwave for a few minutes and you have a nice warm heatie, as I call them. I use when I'm not feeling well or when I'm cold. I have about 7. And I made some smaller ones for my head and eyes that I keep in the freezer, they are wonderful when I have migraines, and I have about 7 of those too...

    If you have some used zippers, how about zipper flowers, or fabric flowers. Their fast and easy plus cheap to make. I'm constantly getting compliments on mine. Just google either one.

    How about pot holders - with the RIGHT batting - quick and easy! They don't always have to be square...sorry I don't have pictures (yet) but I have made some that are the shape of the animal I have in mind...

    I always use insulbrite and a layer of white felt in my pot holders. I love the insulbrite. It cuts out most of the heat.

    These are a great idea. They go together fast and can be made in many sizes.

    You could make the snappy bags with tissue holder inside of it. Make them match for special people.
