that wads my first thought too... they can be used for so many things

Tote bags? I aways appreciate a new tote bag. :) They might too.

I was just about to suggest the same thing. :) Tote bags can be used for so many things! I have several and use them constantly.

The fabric boxes sound great. Also seasonal table runners, placemats, hot pads, coasters. There is the 10 minute table runner. And the one that starts with a square, then you add strips to each side like a french braid.
