Several suggestions have been mentioned and are GREAT! I feel anything "homemade" is wonderful! I know I have a little hand towel that has been crocheted across the top somehow and I hang them over a handle below the kitchen sink. I just love it! I now have a pattern that the same principal is being used only the top is quilted. I think that would be an ideal gift. You could do according to the decor of the kitchen.

I can make almost anything I need so it's hard for me to pick.
I don't know what size of gift you're talking about so.........................
A custom made Christmas ornament. If you know, perhaps their favorite colors, favorite style. One of my all time favorte ornaments was the first ever counted cross stitch made by a gal I taught. It was a snowman on white 18 count. @@ I gave her a hard time every time she worked on it. White on white on 18 count? Although she loved it, she gave it to me because she knew I appreciated the work that went into it.
Something useful like a casserole carrier?
A vest or purse or something wearable?

My favorite handmade item was from a sewing friend. It's a tisssue holder with a mirror. Inside it has two pockets. I can use it as a wallet/tissue holder/make up bag all at the same time. It's a made in the hoop embroidery design.

I don't really have any quilting friends. I know quilters only by some of the classes we go to. My friends and family are getting a quilt of some kind. Mostly lap quilts but I'm trying to find something small to make for my boss; I'm running out of time with my list of things to do.
