I would include a gift certificate to a LQS.
A can of spray starch or sizing
A thimble for her hand sewing the bindings
Quilting pins (I have the yellow flower pins)
A pin cushion
Scissors

Me, too! Sometimes I think I make a quilt twice - once the wrong way and once the right way! At least I get twice as much experience that way!Originally Posted by sewmorethings
Definetly a stitch ripper, i am just learning and find i "unsew quite a bit" i would be lost without mine.
