There was a cream of potato soup mix which was great for people who don't cook to make soup hot water is added to a measured amount of mix. It was homemade cup a soup but better. that is all I can think of for now if i think of anything else i will post it.

Trupeach...what a great idea. I will have a brand new DIL by Christmas and she's working and goes to school. This will be perfect for her on the nights she's at school. :) :)

In the recipes section I posted sometime ago a recipe for Chai Latte Mix. It's fantastic to give as a gift in a pretty tin or jar. It tastes better then any commercial mix from the gourmet shops.

I love quilted baskets!

Or how about Xmas stockings? There are some great tutorials online for those.
Placemats are always a hit here as well ... love those fabric placemats!

I'm also making tree skirts as gifts this year as well. There are several tutorials online. If you are interested in making them I can find the posts and links :)

Handbags. The kind that you use instead of a grocery sack. I have a thickly padded one I use for frozen foods. Lined it with terry cloth. Works great at grocery store and swimming pool.

I purchased the Quilting Arts Christmas magazine and the mug bucket pattern is in there as well as some other cool ideas. This special issue is 14.99 but I am going to make a bunch of things from it.
Also on my gift list are bookcovers and backpack style purse.

Are quilted clocks for folks who don't do mornings to throw? I can't be the only person here who has chucked an alarm clock.
