One year I made every person in my guild a "Bah, Humbug" bag to hold their simple quilting tools. They were a hit. One lady who winters in Texas said she thought she would never use such a thing, but she is never without it; it is her favorite gift.

What about cup cake pin cushions. Use the telfon cup cake papers, fill a fabric with scraps of batting, and glue into the cup cake papers. Then put a couple of pretty straight pins. Really cute.

This idea came from another QB member at least a year or so ago. It may be in the archives but here's a quick detail....
Bobbin minders:
Made from clear flexible tubing....look in plumbing at Home Depot/Lowe's/etc.
Get a diameter that will fit over a full bobbin.
With a sharp craft knife or box cutter cut tubing into 1/4" slices, or just wide enough to fit the depth of the bobbin.
Cut each slice open so you have a little "C" shape.....since it's flexible it will fit over the thread on your bobbin.
Package up 5 or 10 of them in a cute little Christmas-y bag or box and you're all set.

I hadn't thought of that! I've been using the soft elastic hair bands for little girls. They're almost too big, tho so will plan on a trip to Lowe's to get me some of the flexible tubing.

I had no problem understanding LC's request for "sussy" ideas, but I too am from Louisiana. Maybe it's a "Louisiana thing." Here, we bring our children sussies when we return home from a trip (short or long one). Now, I take sussies to my grandchildren when I go to visit. It's adapted from the word "surprise."
