    Does anyone have any suggestions of something I could make someone as a small thank you gift? It would have to be quick and simple. My mind is just not coming up with anything.

    Thanks

    Depending on how quick, you could even find a quilt block that you like and make a simple table runner.
    That is what I am doing for my girl's teacher's this year for year end gifts.

    I love the crisscross coasters I made for myself. I can't find the original post so if someone else can help they are wonderful, fun & easy.

    You could make the pot holder towels I posted about recently.

    All you need is one kitchen towel, a square pot holder with the loop in the middle of one side, and a button. One straight line of sewing, and the button of course, and TA-DA you have a cool and quick gift!!!

    Well darn, I was looking for the topic where I posted about the towel toppers. I can't find it, and I didn't bookmark it.

    Anyone have that one bookmarked????

    I haven't had good luck with search lately or I would have posted the link to the coasters.
