It's unfortunate what happened for your niece, despite all the other parts that supported Christmas. Correction ... I should have suggested a "holiday decoration" ... meaning it does not have to be a tree decoration or WHY. I have tree decorations that I hang from windows, cupboard door knobs etc. Too, many non-Christmas-cultures have moved to putting up trees, calling them celebration trees. Anything snow is often a fall back in such situations. And usually safe! |

They came to the Christmas party with Christmas theme and she gave each attendee a handmade decoration, a fabric folded star. She wanted to do something special due to the pandemic atmosphere. Her supervisor told her to apologize for offending these employees. The company gave out Christmas stockings filled with items and the 'offended ones' didn't complain about those. She now has a new and better job. It's almost impossible to be nice anymore, only generic hello and how can I not offend you today?

Since it's the Friends of the Library group, how about some bookmarkers?
I found these DIY sites recently. If you don't like this style, there are tons of other tutorial/instructions for other type on the web. https://quilterscandy.com/fabric-book-marks/ https://iseestarsquilting.com/diy-fabric-bookmarks/ |
Has soup bowl cozies been suggested? We love ours and assume everyone else would.
|
Maybe a fabric covered small notebook or holder for a tablet for in your purse? A bag holder for plastic bags, or a mini version for the car.

How about a book mark? Here is a link to a Heart book mark I posted on the QB .
https://www.quiltingboard.com/links-...d-t293915.html Or a fast and simple book mark is shown in the photo below using a pinking shears or pinked rotary blade. |
I think a book mark for each attendee would be a nice little gift to give. It doesn't have to be a holiday theme and then no one is offended.
|
I do a lot of bowl cozies and pot holders. and Embroidery or quilted hand towels. They are always well received .
|
Zipper bags. You can make them in any size—-4”x6” is great for purse organizer bags, 12”x3” are good for colored pencils, etc.

Not sewing project but my Aunt gave me a set of 5 crocheted snowflakes with a longer hanging loop. They are starched & I pin them to my valances. I leave them up after Christmas & love looking at them. Each snowflake is different, of course.
