This is an awesome thread. I am enjoying all the wonderful ideas. Love the card holding idea using cds! My mom is 89 and this will be a wonderful gift.

This is the dress pattern I'm using:

Someone at quilt guild made jar opener squares using the plastic-y shelf liner for the gripper side. I haven't made any, yet, but I did like the idea.
Love the tortilla warmer, which also works for bread, etc. warmer video . I made one with an orphan block at center.
Everyone loves a zippered pouch.
I used the extra "rope" from a jelly-roll rug to make a smaller "rug" the size of a casserole dish that sits next to microwave. Very handy for hot dished exiting the microwave, or getting stirred.
