    Default Treats for Quilting Retreat

    I'm going on a quilting retreat with 26 fellow quilters. I need ideas for a little inexpensive treat for everyone. Any ideas?

    I'm going to take snacks, but I'd like to take something tangible as well.

    Thanks!

    Do you have a retreat committee? If you do then you could do what we did and make little zippered pouches out of your scraps. Or how about scissor fobs, pin cushion. Our favorites were slippers. We couldn't have done it without a group of us that were committed to completing the items. Another thing we do is a fat quarter every morning from the fat quarter fairy. Can't wait till our next retreat.

    Fat quarters, Divide up charm paks, seamrippers (can never have enough of those) , needle threaders, spools of thread in the basic colours, mini tape measures, "Made with Love" labels, needle cases, pretty much anything in the notion aisle

    Chocolate! What could be more tangible? It hangs around the body forever.
