tissue holder "gift"
#1
many years ago a friend gave me a tissue holder that was sewn together and gathered at the top with a ribbon. it looked like a gift. it held a square box of tissues. i have a quilt show coming up in 2011 and i am on the committee to make some of our marketplace items. i thought this would be kinda cute and unusual. anyone know of the pattern? any other ideas besides the usual coasters, table runners,aprons?

Small pin cushions. The ones I liked the best was the ones that stick into the end of a spool of thread made to look like a flower. They are made on a golf tee. They were a huge hit at the Lancaster Quilt show last month.

I make little three inch quilt blocks, put a backing on them like a small pillow, stuff them witha brillo type pad and close them up. They make a cute pin cushion to put right next to sewing machine or for taking with your haand sewing. The brillow pad sharpens the pins and make them slide better.

Tons of whimsical animal box covers here, but maybe too complex:

Speaking of tissue holders. I use the nicer toilet paper for refills. Take out the paper roller (pliers pull it right out) and pull the tissue from the inside. It lasts a long time and fits in the square tissue box. I open the bottom flaps and re tape it shut.
