Did you see the post just after yours titled want to keep it. Beautiful heart sachet, filled with lavender. I also love cute little pin cushions.

Chunky necklaces seem to be in style, again . Have you seen the necklace made with fabric, marbles inside, & beads?
I also love the roses made from one jelly roll strip as a brooch!

You can never go wrong giving a small pair of scissors.
Heirloom thread cutters made into a pin(broach) are nice gifts.

Anything pertaining to quilting would be a wonderful gift. I usually try to personalize gifts, if they have mentioned something they would like to have then that is what I would give.

These are all great ideas :)

While in Paris a few years ago, I wandered into a little sewing shop and found the perfect souvenir . . .a Chatelaine . . .it's a chain with small scissors or other hand sewing notions. I treasure mine and it was relatively inexpensive. You can order them in the US online and sometimes can find them in LQS :)

Inchies made into a magnet, a pin, or a bookmark charm at the end of a ribbon.
Print a 12 month 2011 calendar onto fabric and stitch it to a small wall quilt.
Make a gift card case and then include a gift card.
Make an IOU for help with some quilting chore they may need in the future...basting a top, sorting their stash, organizing their studio, all that stuff is easier and more fun with a friend.
Things that show a lot of thought, but don't cost a lot of money, are always special imho.
