I was also thinking of a casserole carrier, ove dress or perhaps monagramed towels for the bath.My parents once rec.'d mon towels for a house warming, and instead of their names or initals, it was Boss and Slave, which I thought even as a youngster was really cute. Maybe a monagramed table runner, that would quick and easy.
I like someone's idea of the 12 months thing, perhaps 12 month table toppers, that would be neat. Keep us posted as to what you decide. |

You have probably seen this post, but I think this would be a great hostess gift and fun to make.

They don't carry Martha White here in Oregon either. Bummer. I have a recipe using Martha White's Self-rising cornmeal mix, so to utilize it, I'll need to order online some of that online, but will also order the flour too.

Aprons are really popular right now. It's nice to get a new one every now and then even if she owns several.
|
Tote....goodies....yes....
|
A gift card to her favorite shopping place!
|
The key phrase is "she's a quilter, too". It may be hard to give her something quilt related, unless she's given you a clue.
Consider this: make a fat quarter bundle from YOUR stash. Tie them with a pretty ribbon and attach a gift certificate from a quilt store near her. |
A basket with a theme including a book and some fabrics/threads/whatever to go with the theme.
|
Chocolate!
|
How about a gift basket with some fat quarters, a gift card, and some vintage quilting magazines bundles with a pretty ribbon, fill in the basket with some misc and what a great gift basket!
|
I know I have waaayyyyy to much 'stuff.' I don't need much more. I don't need more stuff to give away or recycle.
However, if someone were visiting me would take me to a LQS [maybe even leave me with a gift certificate for my favorite LQS] and then out for coffee. I'd be in heaven. ali |
Has she mentioned any new patterns that she would like to try. Maybe you could get her the pattern and fill a basket with some quilting goodies like thread and blades and maybe a gift card to her local quilt shop or where she gets her fabric and supplies. Sue
