Ideas for a Christmas in July party for quilt guild?
I need help! Next week my fun quilt guild (not the snobby one ) is having a Christmas in July meeting. I just joined this group a few months ago and have learned so much from them in a short time. Basically we are to make or take something if we choose for an exchange. Any ideas? these ladies are fantastic quilters so I wouldn't dream of making a table runner or anything like that. I was thinking maybe a set of coasters and a cute coffee mug with some hot chocolate mixes in it. I don't want to look cheap ( the limit is $10) but i also know my quilting skills are not at a level of theirs yet. What do you think? any other ideas?

Make a quilted basket and fill it with goodies/plant...etc. Here is a link and photo of some I did for Mother's day

Believe me the quilters will love whatever you make to exchange so don't be so hard on yourself. Last year I bought very pretty clear candy jars/dishes and filled each one with fabric taffy. Take a jelly roll strip and roll it up to look like a tootsie roll, then wrap it in cellaphane with a twist on each end like taffy wrappers. About 20 strips of co ordinated strips of quality fabric will be equal to $10 plus the jar. I got a whole jelly roll of the strips in a wide mouth quart Mason jar. Also empty plastic water bottles will hold fat quarters and fun to put in a big tub for quilt party favors.
