Here are links to the show pics

and pics of a few of the gifts I gave the quilters - til my camera died!
They are key fobs to put on their quilt tote. they all have little charms that are sewing related, have actual spools of threads and bobbins.

#22 has a little silver tape measure
#23 has a little silver spool of thread
#24 has a little silver thimble
#25 has a little silver sewing machine
#26 has a little gold needle charm
#27 has a little gold pair of scissors
#28 has a little silver stork scissors charm

Each fob has extra loops and hooks and I will give each quilter the yearly logo, plus a charm of the quilt they entered (Shrinky Dink), and for those that entered the Challenge, they will get a charm for that too.

When I am pressed into a small budget I often go with a big hershey's kiss. Many people like them and they are sort of nostalgic.

Have the members/employee's save their odd bits them selves and bring them in to you. They'll get a good laugh when they get them back.

Just wanted to say "what a great idea". Going to try doing this for a few friends.

I found $1 notepads at Michaels with a sewing theme. Not sure if those cards are still available, but I gave one notepad to each of the ladies in my quilt group and they loved them!

How about a box of silk pins and a 'tomato' pin cushion wrapped in a brown sack with a scrappy cheerful ribbon! - Signed -- Fresh from the Quilt Garden!
