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!!

I really like this little thread catcher and wish someone would make me one.....since I seem to be procrastinating making it myself!

Thread catchers are awesome, and pin cushions.

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
