I agree with Diannia, You want her to have enough for her project as she would not be able to find it if she ran out of it.

I live in the netherlands, next to the border with germany.
Although the euro equals 1.40 dollar the quiltingfabrics still are very expensive to us as they now are around $24,00 dollar a meter ( about 1 yard 2 inch).
That's at least double the price in america and the euro is NOT double worth a dollar.
So I would find out which colours she likes, and I suppose about every quiltfabric will be recieved with great joy!!!

I would go with a line of FQ and send some cotton thread since they only use poly thread there.

Any assortment is always gratefully received by me, as the prices are so expensive here. I think the prices may be similar in Germany, so the lady may possibly feel the same way.

Quilt fabric in Germany is off the chart expensive. If it were me I would send an assortment of blenders and let her buy her focal fabric there.

When I was in Germany the fabric (stoffe) was very expensive especially the "American" brands like Hoffman, RJR etc. A nice selection of co-ordinates would be so appreciated I should think. Your guest may surprise you and enjoy shopping in one of your local quilt shops to help select something for his mother. Most males don't!

Consider how much the items you send will add to the cost of transporting it to Germany. He might have to leave some things out of his luggage to replace it with quilting items. Or maybe ship it on over to her, that would be a pleasant surprise.
Just a thought.

Do they have the quilting templates, rulers and tools that we have.

I would suggest that you ask. There are patterns and colors suggestive of some countries and cultures that citizens of other countries not having a good relationship with them would find offensive. In some countries colors denote bad things or evil. My DIL's mother asked for a quilt and I made her an Irish Chain using her country's colors. She was thrilled. Ask, then you will know how to shop and it will be easier and more enjoyable for your shopping day.

Does this lady have an email address? Start a conversation. You may make a new friend. Ask her what she would like. I am sure she would be very grateful.
