I agree that table runners (1 side general and the other seasonal perhaps) and Jenny Doan has a great tutorial on pillow cases. oven mitts and pot holders, I made several oven mitts that are like 1 longer pc with a pocket on either end-so mitt for each hand to take the roaster etc out of the oven. love those. If any of the group are interested in stuffed animals-the firemen and police in some areas like to keep some in their trunks for domestic calls where they find children at the scene or at house fires. fabric grocery bags (to go green) felt foods for kids in shelters or their own family might have little "homemakers". dog leashes and dog coats. just a few suggestions. have fun!

There are lots of charity's you could sew for. Charity sewing makes you feel good all over and make you want to do the very best you can do. Personally I sew dresses for Little Dresses for Africa. Even after over 600 dresses I am not bored with sew them. If you look on the net you can find someone wanting quilt blocks, they are usually putting them together for a charity. Try Kevin the Quilter.

American Patchwork & Quilting One Million Pillowcase Challenge is a great charity challenge!! They have hit the 500k mark, but that took two yrs. they have several patterns for making pillowcases from basic to quilted, and they go to women's shelters, children's hospitals, The Shriners, Hospice centers, etc. there is a list, but you could coordinate with your LQS or the point of reference for your area and they might lend an idea.
