Rhonda Lee, I'm sorry she is sick hopefully she will be better soon! What if you took a bunch of hexies and /or some yo-yo's to make? You could keep them in a little bag or box until you had enough to make a table topper, mat, or yo-yo doll?
Hugs and prayers going out to you.

Rhonda Lee, I agree with sewred...I was going to suggest hexies but yo-yo's are a great idea, too. Wouldn't take up much room. Hope your mom gets better.

I just finished a birthday gift wall hanging for my DH. He loves the old Mail Pouch Tobacco barns. I made him a wall hanging with one on it. I did the whole thing from my stash except for the barn. I bought 1/4 yard of a textured fabric for it. The barn fabric is wool and alpaca fabric, it has a gold thread running thru it. It was perfect for the barn. His bday is on Monday.Other than this I have been doing really well not buying fabric.

I'm sorry about your mom. I saw a lot of hexie replies but several others came to mind to me as well. Yo-yos or even drunkard's path I have hand sewn.

I thought I was doing really good this year as I have only purchased a couple yards of fabric which I have already used. That being said, I added up the amount of money I have spent this year compared to last year at this same time and I have actually spent more! 
This year I have been buying more supplies and CD's for embroidery. Looks like what I had been spending on fabric I am now spending on notions. Guess I am helping the economy!

Rhonda, Hope your mom is well enough to leave the hospital soon. The only hand work I do is knitting, so I'm no help!
