    My friend sells at her restaurant and does a good business with small change purses in different sizes and shapes. She says they sell fast and she was surprised. I would imagine the fabrics make a big difference.

    Someone probably said it already but I don't have time or energy to read everyone's responses. How about pot holders, baked potato bags, bordered dish towels. table runners, softie toys, embellished anything, journal covers, book marks Do you have an embroidery machine? Monogrammed anything as well as personalized anything. I like the idea of aprons. I did this once with my mother and it was fun! The only trouble was that I was also working a demanding full time job and raising three boys. Whew! I survived. The important thing is to have fun!

    I sell at craft shows, a local consignment, and online. Table runners and mats are popular. I usually sell a couple quilts a month. People admire them until they look at the price, which I keep very reasonable. Once in awhile a customer comes along who buys regardless of price, that is a good day. Good luck.
