here's my plan....table runner and placemats for step daughter - she has a gorgeous formal table and is still using my runner I made her when I first started quilting (oh, how I've grown in my skills) and need to get that off her table LOL

Totes and mini bags (my design) for the other girls. My family love totes.

Other ideas -- casserole carriers, wine totes (there's a free pattern on about.com/sewing), holiday wall hanging, mug rugs, candle quilts (with a new candle).

Lunch bags and cool totes.
Cool totes are for people to take their frozen food home in during the hot summer months.
You take fabric and the vinyl that presses into the fabric, this is the inside of the bag. Layer insul-brite, foil side in and regular fabric on the outside, quilt together. Sew like a Tote bag and put a piece of velcro on top or a zipper.
Lunch bags are made the same way, except the size is more like a paper sack.

They are more commonly called "Snap bags". Here's a search from this board:

Lots of fun to make and people are amazed at the "snap" sound. Try it!!
