Pam, you might want to read the post about these potato bags. I've already bought my fabric and Warm Tater batting, but after everyone's post on here about them catching on fire...thinking I'll pass on this idea!

I'm right behind you on being a procrastinator. Goggle, Fabric Bowl. The ones I've been making is on Geta's Quilting Studio website. There's a tutorial too. I'm starting on my 2nd one this morning. Can make it in a 1 1/2 days or less. Easy and reversible too!

that is very cool!
What quilter doesn't like fabric? Do the fat quarter in a plastic bottle trick. You take a plastic water bottle and carefully remove the paper label and set it aside. Punch a small slit with an exacto knife under where the label goes and let the water drain out. Finish cutting the water bottle in half along the puncture line. Dry out the two halves and let sit a bit untill fully dry. Fold up a fat quarter of water fabric and put it into the water bottle. Put the top half of the water bottle back together and seal the slit with strong tape. Carefully place the original label back on the bottle and glue it along the seam. They will wonder how you got it in there with the water bottle seal still intact and they have a great piece of fabric to add to their stash.

here is an easy but looks complicated table runner: http://www.quiltbug.com/Free/table-topper.htm I made lots of these one year and after the first one, it takes no time to make it. Make the first one for yourself as it is the learning one. LOL. For me anyway it was.

I just made cupcake pot holders for 9 gifts...went pretty quick and made them from quilting scraps which took the cost down. If you want to see photos let me know. I can text it to you or send via email.

Better check out http://www.quiltingboard.com/main-f1...h-t172151.html before you make a microwave potato bags. Sounds kind of scary.
