    Default Looking for new small Christmas project ideas.

    Has anyone run across any new ideas for small quilting related Christmas gifts. I made these little ornaments one year but need another idea now. Would like to do something besides place mats and mug rugs.

    I am giving the ones that sew a pin cushion. I ironed the fabric to freezer paper and run it through my printer. They say "Please Enter Your Pin"

    My Step Daughter said I need to put some numbers on them and then on the back side put " Incorrect Pin"

    There cute.

    Why not jump on the little fabric boxes bandwagon? They would make a nice container for a bag of homemade cookies, toffee, hot choclate mix....

    I made some bunting, shapes dangling off a rope. I cut out a hickory nut, and completed then appliquéd owls cut from a piece of fabric. A group of ladies want to make or use them for all manner of ideas except putting them outside to hang up.
    Have you seen that thread on here making oven mitts. They were made from circles of fabric and large enough for a mans hand. It was something about making them for a man.

    Did you see the tutorial called Candy Baskets? You could make these & fill them with some candy. They lie flat for storage.

    I make a lot of bread basket liners. I found the tutorial somewhere on this board. Everyone always likes them- a unique item that most people will use. Here is the link.

    I put batting in mine & do some quilting on them.
