Default Need gift ideas please.......

I'm looking for a novelty gift idea for a friend who loves to quilt. I don't mean something to make that is quilted. I'm looking for something unique to buy that is quilting related. Any ideas?

I got on etsy an altoids box covered in fimo clay, beautiful designs. got one friend an
iron made of wood with a needlecase in the other end for pressing paper piecing. got wood handles for
seam rippers here on the board. You could always make a really nice pincushion.
I think anyone of these is a great idea. I'm always looking myself.if anyone finds something
let me know,. and with fimo clay. stalk ETSY for ideas also.

Not real creative but a gift certificate to a LQS would be appreciated.

Does the like more "stuff" - or is she a minimalist?

Sometimes a note of appreciation is the most appreciated thing a person can receive.

just saw on a website to make quilting gloves.
get those cheap stretchy ones at Joanns for $1. get the puffy paint pens from michaels $1
write on the finger and palms, let dry and you have quilting gloves really cheap.

Have you seen the Quilter's Jelly thread? There are some clever ideas in the links.
