Opinions Wanted-swap gifts
#62
Wow, I'd totally love a hand made stiletto. I also like fat quarters, pincushions, & bags. Hand made gifts are awesome! One of my friends that I met on QB is always making me cute things, and I use each and every one of them!

I made lolly pop pin cushins on golf tees, their easy and are made from left overs except for the golf tees. Just make a circle of fabric turn over edge and do a running stitch pull to gather, fill with fiber fill and gather, hot glue to the flat top on the golf tee, tie a ribbon around and drop in the top of your spool of thread and you will have a place to store needle and thread together. Great when appliquing or quilting. They look like the little Dum Dum lolly pops.

Hey LUANNH - I saw your post and immediately made 2 for my traveling bag and for my sidetable where I keep applique stuff. What a GREAT idea! You guys have got to make these - they are cute and REALLY useful!

I do the swaps on this board monthly, and I like to send templates I work where there is a sheet metal shop and the my friend cuts me anything I want. Just last week I saw a tutorial on crazy quilts where the lady had a pack of templates for the centers in different sizes for $19.95. I took my templates to the copy machine and decreased it twice and he cut it for me. I also like to send unusual sissors, at Christmas time I find santa, snowman and reindeer handled sissors at the dollar store, last year I bought every pair I could find. In July I start send Christmas items to my pals.
