    place mat sets, appliqued dish towels, coasters/mugrugs
    penny rugs, aprons, fabric bowls/baskets
    floor mats, bath mats, quilted stockings, table runners, table cloths, wall hangings,
    lots and lots of options
    the holiday craft magazines are hitting the store shelves- next time you are in the grocery store pick one up and browse through it- you will see tons of different things to make

    Everyone I know love the fleece blankets, they are SO warm! Fleece hats and mittens and scarves?
    Quilted Christmas decorations, like stockings?

    I found a tute online for foot warmers. Like a pillowcase for feet. You fill them with rice and warm them in the microwave.

    Make some quilted ornaments that they can cherish for keepsakes and decorate with every Christmas.
