I am planning on making a seashell wreath (with seashell fabric) wall hanging for my mother, a quilted tree skirt and a really big set (like 12) placemats for my mother in law... some quilted bags for the teachers this year and a bunch of other stuff...

I am pretty ambitious... we'll see how much I get done lol.

I use the Tip-Nut site and also the blog call Everyday Beautiful. Both have tons of ideas.

I'm going to be making grocery totes for all my daughter-in-laws. I figured 5 bags each for all three families would be enough for a average grocery trip. I'm gathering fabrics of vegetables and farm animals. I think that would be cute.

Check out cutefabric.com They have lot of veggie and other fun fabrics. Their shipping is reasonable too.

I make wallhangings, they are well received. sometimes I make them Christmas themed and other times, I make something that can be used all year long. Also, table toppers go over well too. HAVE FUN!

I found at a local fabric store upholstery fabric that you might be interested. It would be great for making market totes. I use those for my grocery bags. I got the pattern of of Joann's site. The upholstery fabric is like a table cloth appearance and has food all over it! I keep wondering what I can make with it - hmmm.... sounds like market bags!

I bet that store still has a ton of it too - I got it for $1.49 a yard!
