A needle holder - it's like a little book - made of felt - with fancy fancy "bookcovers"

MadeinMaine sent one to me and I really like it.

I am looking for ideas on how to quilt a Judy Niemeyer "4th of July" pattern. It is paperpieced in jewel tone fabrics. I was thinking of varigated thread, but I am stumped on the design.

Thanks!

Bright pillowcases, resusable grocery bags, little makeup bags, laundry bags, fringed fleece blanket.

Make pet toys out of fleece. Cut out bone and other simple shapes. Put catnip in small ones for kittys.

At my church fair, we make reversable table runners - one side Christmas, the other Thanksgiving. Very simple, just two lengths of fabric with batting in the middle constructed by sewing and turning with a little stippling to hold it together.

There are plenty of blocks that would be cute as pot holders that are easy to get your hands on that don't have copyright on them.

Absolutely a seller, just put a picture of the item on the kit for a guide for making it. I have a pattern for a finger pin cushion that sells well, probably doesn't cost a quarter to make but could sell for a $1 or so.
