A bag for holding those plastic bags from grocery stores etc. make out of a leg from denim jeans....put a quilt block in the middle, or embroidery, or iron on patch...make a handle to hang over a peg or nail. i can think of many ways to make one. Or decorate.

Every winter I make bags and fill with rice sometimes add a removable pillowcase to cover it. Pop in the microwave for a few minutes and you have a nice warm heatie, as I call them. I use when I'm not feeling well or when I'm cold. I have about 7. And I made some smaller ones for my head and eyes that I keep in the freezer, they are wonderful when I have migraines, and I have about 7 of those too...

How about pot holders - with the RIGHT batting - quick and easy! They don't always have to be square...sorry I don't have pictures (yet) but I have made some that are the shape of the animal I have in mind...

I always use insulbrite and a layer of white felt in my pot holders. I love the insulbrite. It cuts out most of the heat.
