Missouri Star has a great tutorial (two part) on making an apron from a tea towel. They are so easy to do and only take about an hour to make. After the first one they go so quick. They are functional and pretty too!

I just made one of these "Lazy Girl 1 yard 1 hour Totes." It was really quick. The only modification that I made was to line it with iron on fleece to make it stand on it's own. http://www.lazygirldesigns.com/blog/...iday-gift-bags

If they are all quilters they might appreciate a scissors pouch. It's quick and you need only sew a couple of straight lines and you can decorate or not depending on how much time you have left. There's a tutorial here:

All great ideas! Thank y'all so much!

How about a charm-thingy to hang off their scissors? They make your scissors easy to identify when at a class, etc. Just need a few beads and findings. I know that I would appreciate one of those. Happy holidays!

Look in the Links and Resources Forum and the Tutorial Forum. Lots of quick easy ideas in there for all kinds of homemade gifts.

I have been making microwave tater bag (make sure you use the special TATER batting) and ALL cotton thread and have used muslin on the inside and they are very quick to make and have gotten great response. I also include a kleenex holder that I found pattern here. Beyond easy and quick, can use scraps and useful. Kleenex in small packs are at Dollar Tree for 6 packs for $1.00. Good luck to you.

How about the 10 minute table runner. Really only takes 10 min.

Thanks for the ideas, I also am a late bloomer this year because of all the other things I have had to do and make for the holidays. To the store tonight to get the fat quarters for the two gifts I have to kick out for the holidays.
