One of my best sellers has been simple lace crosses framed in inexpensive, i.e. wooden $1 store frames. Depending on size and type of frame I have sold them from $10 to $20 each. I usually put a small printed picture on the back of my lace pillow with one in progress so that they can get the idea, and "hand made bobbin lace" printed underneath. They did better than my other pictures, but you can find the rocking horse pattern on my web site below. I sold plenty of those in the past and you have my permission to use it for your group.
Our group did well making scarves and selling them. One member makes lace motifs, puts a piece of cardstock in a cellophane pack and sells them so that the buyer can do whatever they want with them. I tried selling pin cushions as we are always asked where we got the ones on our pillows but I don't think I sold any. Old fashione bib aprons sell well, as do crocheted scrubbies.
