    I've made mini stockings or Christmas cones (from Nancy Halvorson's books). I have a neat apron pattern that makes up quickly and is much appreciated also. I should be doing some of those things instead of being on the computer!!

    small giftie bags, tissue holders, kitchen towels trimmed in holiday fabrics, sachets, coasters, potholders, Christmas cookies or candy,(homemade like white trash). Let us know what you do.

    How about this?http://sisterschoice.typepad.com/sis...0-minutes.html
    I really like this little thread catcher and wish someone would make me one.....since I seem to be procrastinating making it myself!

    wow, thanks ladies, so many good ideas. I am thinking mug-rugs with a different theme for the individual lady.....
    but then again..I do like the thread catcher from Jan..each lady can bring along her own catcher to our meetings!!!!!!

    I did the stilettos last year.....loved doing them but forgot to make me one......and never did go back and do so......so I just use my ripper for one......one of these days.......

    thanks again for all the great ideas.........MaryJane
