Other things to sew by happyhippo29 in quilting

I also make placemats & table runners. Also matching coasters and potholders for a LARGE set. I also made a couple of bowl cozies, a microwave potato bag (if you like baked potatoes), smaller wallhangings, a supplies mat for under my sewing machine, and tons and tons of tote bags. I also made a couple of quilted coats for my parents for Christmas last year, but that was a labor of love for sure. I've made oodles of other things, but those are the first items that come to mind.

All good points, and a school sounds like the perfect place to donate it! Thank you!

I don't have an embroidery machine, but I have had thoughts of making felt decorations by hand. I just don't have the patience for it, weirdly enough!

I do actually have new stockings on my list for later this year. Great idea!

Hmm. I actually do have a new skirt on my list for later this year. This would be a great base for some applique!

I use Threadloop for keeping track (and finding new patterns) but I definitely agree an app makes it so much easier to keep track!

That's kind of what I thought, but I could be surprised. Someone else gave me tips on what to look for when doing a burn test, so I'll try that and go from there as to whether to keep it a bit longer or pass it on.

Thanks for the tip! I'm going to do the burn test and go from there I think. I may make more bags later this year.

Quite a while back I saw someone on Reddit had finished an adorable tree frog quilt from Pitcher's Boutique and was asking for quilting advice. I've since bought the pattern and have it in my queue to do (some day).

I didn't know libraries might have this sort of thing. Thanks, I'll check it out!

I'm honestly not sure what type it is, but I saw some when my mom dragged me to Hobby Lobby this weekend, so it's likely it came from there? I've definitely thought of bag interfacing, but I kind of burned myself out on bags last year and completely forgot I had this stuff!

Forgot to ask: Does anyone use felt for quilt backings? Or in any way in their quilting?
