Christmas tree napkins folded like a Christmas tree to go along with the 10 minute table runner. Cut 2- 16 " diameter circles of contrasting material, cut in half. Sew the 2 - 1/2 circles together. Top stitch around edges. Fold like a Christmas tree. Easy, easy.

For bazaars in the past, my group made potato bags (for the microwave), napkins, placemats, pinch mitts (for the microwave, potholders, tea bag wallets, hot cup sleeves, earrings from buttons, gift bags (cut and fuse cute fabrics to plain gift bags), wine bags, purse organizers.....most of these things have tutorials on line.

Here is the link to some of the projects I have done.

http://www.quiltingboard.com/general-chit-chat-non-quilting-talk-f7/washcloth-slippers-nursing-homes-t62303-2.html

These are very easy to do and quite comfortable.

These pin cushions were made with every day knick knacks that you find around the house, at thrift stores and yard sales.

This one I wanted to show youthe pillow cases and the pot holders toward the bottom of the post. I have also made key chains and coasters I have made with the pot holder idea.

I have also made small aprons to go on dish detergent bottles. If you are interested in these, send me a PM and I will be glad to send you a picture of them. Good Luck

The fabric key fobs seem to be a popular item to make. I have not made these yet, but want to make some before the holidays. http://www.theidearoom.net/2009/08/f...ey-chains.html

The only thing I can think of not already mentioned for people is a stocking and fill it with whatever goodies the recipient might enjoy. If they have pets, you can make dog collars or bandanas, dog and/or cat toys, placemats, quilts...I always make my mom's dogs a little something for Christmas.
