    How about fabric coasters? I made a lot of them out of a Thanksgiving print and use them every year. They are super easy. I found this pattern on line: http://allsorts.typepad.com/allsorts...ross_coas.html

    If you take your own mug to the meetings, you could make lug-a-mug bags to swap. Basically it's just a little quilted draw string bag with a base, it was a free pattern years ago, not sure if there's one out there on the web now or not. This is not the pattern I used but I see they have given permission for it to be used in a guild setting. http://limestonequiltersguild.files....ept2011bom.pdf

    How about tissue covers. I am making bread cloths at the moment. They are cross stitched but the baskets can be filled with little quilting items.
