How about a set of personalized Christmas ornaments? These go very fast whether paper pieced, or just small quilt blocks. I put names, pictures, dates, different decorations, etc.
The paper pieced ones are backed with felt and just stitched around with a ribbon loop. The quilted ones are backed with fabric, stitched around right sides together and turned and the opening whip stitched.
We give these in sets or use them for package toppers. Last year we baked three kinds of cookies, put them in waxed treat bags and used one of these ornaments for the name tag. These went to such people as bank personnel, mail men, elder neighbors, doctor's office, etc.
All of you have great ideas!! This year we are making Christmas tree wall hangings.
