So far i've gotten pillowcases done and i'm starting a oven dress.Those snap bags are wonderful.I've made so many of them.I make them up using two fat quarters and selling them at my local quilt store.I can't make them fast enough.

I'm making pillowcase sets and no-pill fleece socks and slipper socks.
Love to make pillowcases so much I donated ALL my pillowcses (except the embroidered ones my Mom made) and made all new pillowcases. Also made 22 cases for the million pillowcase challenge. When I make a quilt I try to make coordinating cases. These cases are the easiest things to make ever.

Connie in CO, where are you? My husband was born in Greeley & raised in Cortez. Do you know any Kutchers or Dennisons? Anyway, I'm interested in the "oven dress" you mentioned? What is this? Can you share a pattern?
You can PM me if you'd like.

I like the pillow case idea, maybe machine embroidery across the top of the flat sheet also?
I forgot I made stockings for the grandchildren also.
I'm making machine embroidered totes for our public library & bookmarkers, they'll sell very cheep but use the funds to help the library. I donated boxes of books to the public & school libraries last year, cleaning house.
I'm also making a multi-framed collage of embroidery designs to 'location specific' as wall decor at the ambulance bay, fire dept., local barber, a few places around town, sort of an appreciation thing. We live in a very small 1200 pop, town. One year, I made gifts for garbage collectors & mail men & newspaper child. Now we live in the country, so I only have the mailman to give to.
I'll have to go buy bed sets, I do like the idea of pillowcases, but would add the embroidery on sheets to match. Thanks.

didn't know that count down number, ouch! I decided to go visit my husband (lives 4 hrs away for work, has an apt. here), and he's stuck on a drill rig now for days. I'm making ornaments here. Maybe I should be home working? Tough choice, hoping he comes back soon.
The slippers I do are on machine embroidery, nothing into a bag, sorry. I buy the embroidery blanks and my mom is super into Rosemaling (Norwegeon design), so I'm making her items with this. And totes & shirts, everything she gets has this Rosemaling, beautiful.
