Maybe not a new quilting machine but she already has a big monster that must be 10' long and a Genomie sewing machine to boot. She has enough fabric to quilt Rhode Island and maybe Vermont to boot. So, what is a DH to do?
Is there anything that comes close to being a romantic quilting gift? I want this to be a special Christmas for her. I don't want to buy another set of spark plugs and wrench so she can change them herself again. Hey, a couple of years ago the plugs made her car run better but it hurt when she hit me with the wrench. Oil for her car is out too.
Suggestions please.

I have the Alto Quilt Cut 2. It is great and not as expensive as the Accuquilt. Massages and facials are a great gift and something she probably wont get for herself. You could also look into a spa that has an all day pampering where she could get the works, including make up. Then you could take her out to dinner or something to show off the new do.
I got my Altos for Christmas last year and it was just what I wanted.

What about if you used Microsoft Word or some other program and made her coupons? Like, "This coupon is good for 5 hours of uninterrupted quilting time" "This coupon is good for a trip to the fabric store on me" This coupon is good for me cooking dinner...
My hubby did that the first year we were married and didn't have any money, and it was great! I saved all the coupons in a dollar store photo album. You can make them anything, you cooking, cleaning, helping out in her sewing room, etc!
