Love to see everyone's ideas!

I've made some with kitchen towels, the themal silvery stuff and another fabric. Sorry, can't post picks.

I made these sets using coordinating fat quarters. The pattern has directions for four sizes. I can make the medium, small, and tiny sizes from two fat quarters. I reversed which fabric was on the outside for the small size, so they made a cute coordinated set. They are fun to make, and can be done easily in a morning. Be careful though....they're addictive!

I was thinking...gifts for grandkids and quilter friends. These will be perfect. I appreciate your giving the link to order. Thanks!

I made a pattern today and made 2 and have 12 more cut ready to put together. I did modify the sewing a bit over the video. I made the first one as directed leaving the space to turn. Once I made a regular pocket pot holder and we left an opening at the bottom of the pocket for turning. MUCH better and when all is done, the hole, when sewn closed, is inside the pocket, not a problem turning the bulk this way.
Thank you so much for the video link, I have a purchased pattern but wanted to make them a bit larger.

LOL, just realized I wrote "picks" and not "pics". When all else fails, read my siggy line.

Im so hoping to find some new ideas (to me). Last year I made the microwave bowl holders which were, and still are, a hit. Its going to be hard to compete with it this year! Lol

I am making pillow cases and matching stuffed animals for my grandkids this year. For the boys I used batman and superman with a complementing small print fabric or solid. Sorry no pictures yet.

somewhere among my stuff I've got 5-6 stuffed animals cut out. Wonder where? But they won't match anything. I need to get back to making some pillow cases. They are so easy and I have a bunch of them cut out, too.
