I always have several lap quilts made and ready to donate. I don't make any of those little things, so I don't have them on hand. I used to have some table runners handy too, but have given them as gifts and not replaced them in my stash. I do need to finish up a couple quilt tops to have available for the next "emergendy".

on the regular sewing machine.
Told my kids and grands that if they get tired of getting them TO TELL ME STOP ENOUGH.. So far no stops requested.

I love to make and store "gifts" so I can grab and wrap when needed. In addition to baby quilts and totes, I also make aprons ahead. Holiday aprons are great for when you remember you need a gift at the last minute. Bought a little child sized apron from the JoAnn's craft dept and used it as a pattern. Kids (both girls and boys) love to have an apron to help mom in the kitchen.

I keep a Wal-Mart plastic tub full of sale items that I find for that very reason. Keeps me from feeling badly if something comes up and I don't have the time or the money to get something.
Some even end up Christmas presents

I have a couple of small quilts ready and plan to do more. This is a great use of practice blocks as well as orphan blocks, and a use for left over strips from other quilts. I usually buy fabric for a project, but always buy extra to allow for mistakes. This is a wonderful way to use it.
