We buy everything for family for gifts but I like to make little things for friends and gals in my 2 quilt groups etc so all yr I work on small items..this yr I have done many "snap bags", fancy knit face cloths..not dishcloths..will add nice handmade soap with those and little things like that..one yr I made lots of handmade paper and made it into notecards ...fold a notes.
I like to have little things like that on hand for all yr. when I need a little something.
