    How about a quilting RV so that when you go on your fabric shopping trips you can stay in your own home, she can sew while you travel and you can spend lots of quiet time together wherever you stop to see the sights? Works for us!!

    A small flat screen TV mounted on a wall so as not to take up table space.

    A quilt rack to display a surprise antique quilt. (2 in one here!)

    Chair -- its all in a comfortable workable chair with no arms -- and the office plastic that goes underneath it so you can roll and turn to the ironing board or cutting table with ease. You're a great guy ! Have fun deciding what to get or do for your wife !

    If you think she'd be interested in designing and printing her own fabric, you could try a gift certificate to Spoonflower.com. My blog buddy, Cindi, likes to doodle, so I took some of her doodles and had them printed on fabric. She loved it.

    I want to say cook her dinner naked, but that might be too scandalous... It would be a surprise though!

    Perhaps a specialty ruler and instruction book?e.g.Lazy angle ruler, X block or Renae's Ray- all have books with projects to utilise the rule.
