Here is what I have gleaned from from all of your suggestions: Pins, rotary cutter, marking Pens, Double-sided fusible, fat quarters, specialty ruler, Machine needles, good quality thread in neutral colors . I will be spending some time on Amazon to find products in these categories (and also ask my aunt if she has any preferences). Also, will try to figure out a local quilting store, I have never been to any place other than Joann. Thank you so Much for your time and suggestions!!
My first thought was blades for her rotary cutter or extra bobbins for her machine. I'm not a fan of fat quarters. I guess I fear running out of a piece that I need. My recommendation is a gift card to JoAnn's or some store such as that. The gift can be stretched by using their coupons. It can be used for batting or other supplies, not necessarily fabric if she is a quilt shop quilter. Fabrics/fat quarters you choose may not be to her liking. Too, those stores have supplies for other hobbies and winter is great for yarn projects.
