I love good books and dream of some of those beautiful hard covered ones with lots of glossy pics and heaps of patterns inside!

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. Jean |

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, :) |
An American express gift card.....she could buy what she needs or wants.

How about a great light? You can spend up to $200 on the good ones.

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! |
Gift certificates are always nice. I believe most quilting sites offer them.

You aare a very lucky girl!!
|
How about a light box (for tracing her appliques)?
|
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!
