    I do farmer's market this will be my 4th year, I sell tote bags, purses, handbags, embroidery towels and aprons, table runners, table toppers, car trash bags, animal head plastic bag holders, and this year I will have backpacks (as many people have asked for them) and small cross over bag with adjustable straps. Most people like things for their kitchen I did very well last year making the bowl cozy for the microwave they were my best sellers. This year I am making place mats. Go on pinterest or youtube and search for craft fair ides that what I did to get an idea. Hope this helps.

    I have had good luck with aprons, sock animals and stick horses. These aren't quilting items, but appeal to a "back to homespun" minded clientele. Also, those cute fabric boxes made with two fat quarters are eye-catching.

    I don’t sell anything.. but I made frogs and all the kids and grandkids loved them so much I had to make more! The pattern is frog patch by Me and My Sister designs. I’m not affiliated in any way, just saw the videos on you tube and needed a break from doing quilts.

    If you decide to do place mats and table runners, I suggest that you make them two sided. i.e., Thanksgiving and Christmas, Easter and Spring, patriotic. Women love table runners and they are usually affordable. I did some place mats and I foundation pieced the tops and then put a matching back on the other side so that they could be turned over. They were easy and fast. Wal Mart fabric. Good luck. Keep it fun.

    No one mentioned dog and cat toys and small dog clothes. Oh and also dog leashes. My girlfriend sells these all the time in her booth.
