My favorite is pillow cases from novelty fabric. What about Riversong's table toppers?

those are nice. Our gals made minature blocks, (stars, log cabins, etc.) Attached the key ring with a sewn bit of the binding and people couldn't get enough. We had people come by several times after we sold out wanting to buy more. We couldn't have our sewing machines in there, but we will next year!

If you do other things than sew or quilt a friend bought me for Christmas at a craft fair a keychain made from a silver spoon with my initial on it and a towel rack made from a silver pie server. The handle was bent up and a small hole was put in the end to hang it on the wall. Very nice and easy to make and seems to be very popular right now.

I recieved a great gift for Christmas from a friend. She bought some cute fleece cut it about 9 inch wide by the link for the salvage to salvage edge. Then she cut the ends up to 3 inch x 1/2 to make the fringe. She embroidery it with the letter of my first name. I love it quick and easy.
