    You have some very good options given to you here. I wish you well!

    Penny's right, anything under or at the $5 mark, I think people are willing to shell out for quicker. I'm on board with the snap bags, draw string bags, the pet mats and pet coats, key chains, eyeglass holders....all of it! You'll do well.

    Maybe make a few of them all and see what sells for you, and then go from there next year?

    I think anything cat or dog related would sell. I buy from a woman who makes cat toys stuffed with catnip and she sells a ton.

    My group makes a lot of simple panel quilts for kids using the self miter method. Crosshatch or simple loop quilting. The two themes we sell the most is dinosaurs and princess. We use a child's nap pad to showcase the quilts for school nap time. Presentation is big part of sales.
