    When all of you who are making mug rugs for gifts and also giving a mug, do you buy a mug first or make them and then purchase a mug?

    I'm making super easy & cute hanging dishtowels (I posted a link for them in the link section), bib-like aprons, kleenex box covers, and some sewing kits. and a couple of quilts.

    A couple of days ago I posted picture of a Christmas card holder. This was fun because I could experiment with some of the different block patterns without committing to a whole quilt, and i got to cut fun shapes out of felt (who doesn't love that....)the holder is set up so the block is at the top, then below it has 4 pockets, embellished with said felt shapes, which can be used to hold Christmas cards or if you like, ribbons, tape, etc or if you really want to have fun, stuff the pockets with cookies or small candies. Super easy!

    I think covered notebooks and composition books are great. Everybody always needs something to write in/on.

    I really love your picture of the quilt. Tell me about that spiral with all the bright colors.

    I recently made eye glass cases, notebooks and curling iron travel cases. There are all sorts of small things you can quilt.

    Check out books by Nancy Halverson. They are great.
    they feature many small items.......ornaments-tea towels
    cup cosies-tote bags and much more. I make a lot of
    these things for gifts and church auctions. They are
    always well recieved.
