Maybe take her to eat at her favorite place, then present her with a gift certificate for whatever. I always enjoying going to eat. It sounds like she has everything already.
I have a friend like this, she has a box that has several cutters, scissors,ect. I go stay with her at their camper in the summer and we go out traveling most every day , watch the sunset, and sew at night. She just enjoys time with me.She says I am like an adopted daughter.

I also love to applique, I love to use Kinkame silk for appliqueing. Maybe a basket as someone mentioned, put in a new pair of embroideryscissors, (Dovo or Gingher), some neutral thread colors in silk?, pkg of applique needles, add in some chocolate, a new applique pattern.
lets us know what you decide, :)

After getting it all home and washing it, I realized (almost with horror) that there must be close to 30 yards of big pieces, and maybe 50 FQs, fat eighths, and half-yards. Most of them were in coordinated sets. In one fell swoop, this incredible woman doubled the size of my stash.
I want to do/get something truly wonderful for her in return, but it must be non-fabric in nature. She has a new sewing machine and a pretty good quilting set-up, and prefers applique to traditional piecing.
I was thinking of getting her one of those rotating cutting boards that Omnigrid makes, but would welcome any other ideas.
Is there something -- relatively expensive -- that you lust after, but could never justify buying for yourself?
Thanks for the ideas!

I think a goody basket with maybe replacement rotary blades, bobbins, thread(?), replacement needles, Jaws quilt clips, curved safety pins, leather thimble, the possibilities are endless, oh, I love my sidewinder, that would be good!
