Carol- Jinny Beyer is the ultimate source for hand quilting. If she doesn't have one of her books that would be a great choice.

I'd buy her a Roxanne's thimble. I have a brass one dh bought me for my birthday and love it. Your daughter would need to know her size, though. Maybe Roxanne's has gift certificates. Another nice gift would be a rotating lap hoop--another birthday gift of mine, which is a Hinterberg, love that, too!.

I hand quilt, and have the needles and thread and things that I like to use. But if I was gifted some fabrics, or a large piece of backing fabric, that would be cool to see what I could do with it.

A gift card to a fabric store would be very welcome!

Maybe a Chatelaine. I do hand quilting, and would love a Vintage Chatelaine. There are some real beauties out there!

I had to look what a chatelaine is. But I was somewhat in the ballpark as I was going to suggest a piece of jewelry that might be quilting related. How about one of those thread cutters that is on a necklace and is acceptable on an airplane? Willow Tree has a piece that is a quilter. Most quilters have their favorite items to use, color choices, etc. so it would be difficult to select something that she would truly enjoy and spending the time to use. Some would enjoy a subscription to a quilting magazine while others find their patterns online. How about a barn quilt or even one that is small enough to put into a garden space outside?

What about some self threading needles? I really like them. I do have trouble finding them in a smaller size like the between needles, and they all seem to come in an assortment of sizes. At least that is the problem, I ran into when ordering from Amazon. I have used the Clover brand, and really liked them, and will buy them again. I did not like the John James that I ordered. They range in size 4/8 and are much to large for hand quilting. However, if your friend does not use a thimble for quilting she will not like these needles.

Handquilters are usually not handpiecers and some are both. You can't go wrong with the best handsewing scissors ever made. I have a pair in my hand sewing kit and I love the feeling I get using them. They are mine and mine alone. Hard to explain.

Dovo scissors are close to perfect too and not so pricey. https://dovoonline.com/sewing/embroidery-scissors/
