My version of the "emergency clutch"...I cut squares of 2 different fabric and 1 of batting, sewed together, and flipped. Then quilted some diagonal lines across it. I used a hairband (so it will stretch when baggies are filled. The ones I make for the retreat will be a little bigger so the bags aren't so close to the edges, otherwise it turned out.

Now if I just had that new embroidery machine to put each person's initial on the front corner.

Any other small gift ideas I could make to go with this? I'll just be using a 9" square from 2 FQs so will have some left and it would be fun to make a couple things to match. Most of these ladies are scrapbookers not quilters, so it can't be "quilt" specific. (Yes I know I can get 4 out of 2 FQs and might do that too, but am still looking for ideas just in case.)
