So, I am enjoying the table runners and will choose this one for this years Frost Fest. THANK you everyone, for allowing me to put you in the hot spot...<br />I will post tomorrow and the winner received my purple and white blocks as well as three fat quarters.funtalkermittshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10229770322071385352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8444415332580667499.post-58985343106477789942012-01-08T18:56:48.346-05:002012-01-08T18:56:48.346-05:00OOpssss....

I re read your post - didn't realize it had to be a "quilted" gift idea. <br />So I put my cap back on again and borrowing once more - this one is really nice, quick and easy enough - a Pocket Prayer - so you just cut & quilt up a simple rectangle - fold it in half - sew up the sides (make it the size to slip into your coat pocket) and insert a tiny cross or maybe an angel charm or even just a little printed note. The ends of the pocket are cut with pinking shears so they won't fray. Nothing too time consuming. Mine has a cross inside - and when you stick your hand into your coat pocket and feel the cross - you are reminded to pray and remember your blessings. Instead of a charm or cross - to save money - you could insert a penny ... there is a story about finding a penny where two men are walking along and one sees a penny on the sidewalk - he stops, picks up the penny and looks at it for a long time ... the other man - not understanding his friend is so impressed with finding a penny - makes a wrinkled face and says something like - You can't even buy anything with a penny these days - why are you wasting your time with a penny- first man reply's - whenever I find a penny - I am reminded of Jesus and his many blessings to us - and so I take my time and thank him for the penny and all it represents to me.<br />OK - that was a long story - but you could sew these up quickly and you could make a ton of them with only a tiny bit of fabric. Make a poster telling what they are and what they are for.<br />Good Luck with Frost Fest :)<br />Cathy Byrd<br />byrd@gulftel.comSassyCathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12935193696521564713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8444415332580667499.post-81953467037768871742012-01-08T18:41:03.585-05:002012-01-08T18:41:03.585-05:00Well, I am borrowing these idea's (not my own ...Well, I am borrowing these idea's (not my own original) but still really cute and neat. Make a SIMPLE and EASY PEASY cloth bag with a drawstring top - the size for a square box of tissues! Now that would be great for the "FROST FEST" - wouldn't it? I received a box of tissues at Christmas in a nice bag made with kitty cat fabric and the drawstring top was loosely tied in a cute bow. :)<br />Who couldn't use one of those?<br />AHHH CA CHOOOOO EEEE! Gazoontite! God Bless You!<br />Feel Better Soon!<br />Cathy Byrd<br />byrd@gulftel.comSassyCathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12935193696521564713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8444415332580667499.post-80768774951334262152012-01-03T21:35:59.692-05:002012-01-03T21:35:59.692-05:00I like to make table runners for quick projects. ...I like to make table runners for quick projects. Sometimes I use charm blocks set on point or you could use theme fabric--Valentines, St. Patricks, Easter, etc. When I do themed table runners, I usually make the runner reversible...two for the price of one! Good luck with your Frost Fest and here's hoping your cold doesn't stick around too long!Mary Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10753628061852554985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8444415332580667499.post-5794551702076780222012-01-03T21:33:54.445-05:002012-01-03T21:33:54.445-05:00What about some mug rugs?

A gal in my Modern Quilt Guild sits on the board and we have been helping her to reach her goal of making $10,000. She sells them for $10 each and is well over the half way mark. They are fairly easy to make after you get through the first one. I cut a bunch out and sewed them in assembly line fashion.Joanie's Trendy Quiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01392441529661534173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8444415332580667499.post-40751741781255885522012-01-03T15:06:46.441-05:002012-01-03T15:06:46.441-05:00a patchwork scarf would be a neat idea.

I would make string-pieced placemats and I would use icy blues scraps and a tone-on-tone white fabric with snowflakes. or mugrugs with penguin fabric. Get better soon, you have lots to do!Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17634037685983290912noreply@blogger.com
