First a happy dance you have all that fabric! Then maybe teach another seniors class OR kids class this summer. Make walker bags for a nursing home. (Made 1 for my cousin & she says it's the best thing she's ever gotten). Lap robes for wheelchair bound in nursing home. Blankets for babies either in hospital or put up for adoption. My serger group does pillow cases for Benjamin Smiles & gives them to the Children's Hosp...that bear fab would work GREAT!! Hope this helps a little bit.

Better Homes and Gardens has a million pillowcase challenge going right now (allpeoplequilt.com) - they have lots of different organizations where you could mail the pillowcases (not sure if any in your area to save on shipping).

You could do some embroidery on plain fabric and attach it to the bag as pockets. Just a thought. Hugs Yvonne

Bags, placemats, table runners, coasters, ITH stuffed toys, cushions to sit on during classes, games, etc. Then there are casserole covers and carriers, don't forget to make a carrier for your crockpot. I can go on but I think there are lots of ideas already. But have fun with it.

Have a sale. Do you have anything like craigslist or pennysaver where you could advertise? Sell it and buy something you can use.

You could use your fabric as part of bags, blankets, shopping cart covers for babies, changing pads, lap blankets for seniors, etc. and then SELL the finished items at the fall bazaars. It would provide quite a bit more income than you paid for your gems there. Since you embroider, you could make items and then embroider custom name labels and stitch them on right quick at time of purchase or as a special order. If you do that, you'll probably go through your whole stash and leave the community begging for more!! Good luck. You have some very pretty fabric there.

pekoe probably needs a car blanket & the bear fabric is sew perfect for that! You can add his nae to it too!The pink fabric looks soft & cozy sew perhaps you could make a wrap with embroidery designs on it for everyday & one for a special occassion. You could embroidery names on the bear fabric & make everyone a "new Stocking" for Christmas!You could also send some to me as I have a dog & a granddaughter! Or you could also make a bathroom cady or even kitchen cady with embroidery designs on it! Maybe something like the one I posted. Either way what ever you decide to create I'm sure it will be awesome! Like you! Hugs Loralye

The bear fabric might become a tote, organizer or booties. If you added shiny heat resitant fabric it could be for a curling iron cover. This gets the mind going on ways to use leftovers.Looking forward to seeing the possibilities.:~D

The red looks quilted. It would make very nice quilt backing, especially if you want an extra layer of batting for a warmer blanket.
