I make items for fundraisers often. If you are into sewing mini quilts, they have been a good item for me.
I have also made what I call a Quilter's Basket with items a quilter would like...a sewing machine cover, a machine "apron" with pockets, a checkbook sized needle case/small project...see this link for more detailed information. This is the first one I made. I like to put together a couple of kits I from my fabric stash and self designed pattern (or a new pattern or online freebie. If using an online freebie from a blog make sure you ask permission from the blogger. I've never had one say no.)...think seasonal table runner or small wall hanging. Succeeding pictures were made the following years.
