Small quick and cheap.
Pot holders
Tea towels
Aprons
Hot Pads
Glass coasters
table scarves
I just like to see the talent and ideas that people come up with and that I don't make.
I sew but really don't do much for my self.

How about the coffee things you put around paper cups of coffee.

I think the mini aprons are cool too just maybe not so many in a group. The Last one was for 30 and it took some a long time to finish.
How about glassed holders for us hard of seeing.

Purses or make up bags.

I wasn't finished before and it took my reply early.
I have so much fun with these I have a couple of things stock piled for what ever.

Great ideas girls...how about:
Journals or Journals covers
Pin Cushions
Fat Quarter Swap
Hat/Mitten Swap
Pillow Cases...not only needle work but quilted, flannel, etc.
Scarf...quilted, crochet, knit, etc...do what you are comfortable with
Bags...beyond totes...cell phone cases, day packs, messanger bags, small bags for change, makeup, etc
Handmade earrings
Flannel Charms
Strips of fabric swap...example Jelly Rolls
Kit swap...something that you are good at...kit it up and send it for someone else to make, include materials and instructions. We do this in my quilting club and it is a lot of fun.
Do a small quilt project...everyone using the same pattern but use your colors and fabric style, then post it on the forum or swap it.

Thanks.

Oops - I forgot to mention our HUGE hit - the frilly dilly bags (Marcy, I got complimented on mine again and I absolutely LOVE it)

I think a potholder swap would be fun, they are so easy to make and every one needs a new set, mine are getting nasty, and its more fun to make stuff for other poeple, Any swap is fun with everyone participating! I love the apron mini swap, however I think its getting to big, I agree 30 was way to many.
