I found this retractable tape measure on Missouri Star that I got for a quilting friend for a little goodie to go with a gift.

How about a cloth bowl? I got one from belfrybat in a secret pal swap and it is adorable. She said she made it at a class and I use it when I'm hand stitching to put my cut threads in, in other words, I use it as a trash bowl. I do most of hand stitching while watching TV and it collapses so I can put it in my sewing tote. I'm sure if you didn't want to contact her you could google it and find something about it there.

Oooh I am with Jan. Those little boxes are cute! And no one ever makes things for quilters it seems. Another thing I saw was an i-pad holder, can't remember much about it but it was made from a square of quilted fabric and it could be an envelope style to hold the i-pad/kinlde or unfold it it was a bag. It is from: http://www.desireesdesigns.com

I am doing panty purses for gifts this Chrustmas. Other than buying a $1 zipper at Walmart, everything else if from my stash. I did see a link on www.wowilikethat.com that you can order 54 zippers for $7.89 from Amazon but I don't think I could use that many zippers.

I did fabric boxes last year for my wine & whine girls. Looked at some jar candles to determine size I wanted to make, picked up some cheapie seasonal fabrics; got jar candles in particular scents for each lady and sewed away. Quick and easy to make and they all loved them.

If you crochet, how about a vintage thimble pouch? They are quick to make and super cute. Another easy make is a travel companion which looks like a lipstick holder, but holds a reel of thread and needles. Quick and easy make. If you PM me I will gladly share the patterns for these. One last option is fat quarter lollies - many instructions on web regarding folding these.
