    How about something for all the holidays, like Memorial Day, Flag day, 4th of July Thanksgiving. ? You can make them anytime and give them for Christmas.

    table runner or placemats using the 4patch posy, I love the winter metallics. Now I need to go check my own stash.

    one year my aunt made each of my kids a small stocking (gift card size) with their picture from a previous Christmas printed on fabric. We still hang them on the tree each year.

    Has anyone seen the seasonal place mats that are sewed togather & you just flip them to what season you want ??? My niece let me take one of hers to figure out. There is about 3 different holidays in one clump. No batting & they are just tacked about 1/2" on the edge at the center. I'm anxious to try to make some. They would make nice gifts. Rowena101

    Rowena, I would love to see these when you finish one! Would you share it with us when finished? (Please?)

    How about a quilted wreath or Christmas tree? The tree could have clips, to hang cards.
