Need Ideas for Small Gifts
My dear MIL just passed and I saved a few of her dresses to make lap quilts for her two daughters. I have 4 SILs and am trying to think of a small gift I could make to give each of them from the dress scraps. I thought of a Christmas ornament. Any other ideas? Can't be too big or too time consuming, and all the SILs are very different personalities so something kind of 'generic.' Ideas?

I am sorry for your loss and I really like your idea to give the girls a memory of their mom and MIL.
How about book marks with one of MIL favorite sayings or something she said a lot on the backs.
Tea towels using the dress fabric for an appliqué or ruffle.
