How about a quilting charm bracelet?

My hubby bought me a pair of keds sneakers that have a quilt pattern on them (don't know what site on the internet) I know I am getting them because he had me try them on for size w/ my eyes closed -- somehow one eye lid twitched open! Shhh!

I really don't know what to tell you other than I'm sure what ever you do , your wife will love and appreciate you for it. I personally love quilting books. I love to look at the patterns. I also love cook books. I think all women do.And, lets see. Nobody has mentioned batting. She can always use that. Just make sure you poke around and find the kind she uses. And CHOCOLATE!!! Goes good with anything!!!

Why not design and have made for her fabric labels to put on the items she makes. I would be so impressed if my husband went to that much thought and effort for me.

I think whatever you get her, she'll know it came with love and care and she'll appreciate it.

Merry Christmas to you and yours.

This is my vote. This gives her a weekend away with only herself to worry/care about.

Or you might see about a gift certificate to a spa day or a massage, etc. Then they can do the pampering.

YOU could even do a weekend away for the two of you and it doesn't have to be all out - just a nice B&B for a night or two and time alone, wonderful meals. Just something to tell her how wonderful you think she is.

My hsuband gave me a weekend retreat with the LQS one year for Christmas. I was thrilled and had a great time. Gift certificates are good. Maybe get a FQ bundle and add the card to it.

Hah, spark plugs! She must keep you around for your sense of humor! Seriously, joining the forum, so you could get suggestions, is priceless. I'd love to receive a gift card, and the time to use it. Merry Christmas!

Not sure if this has been mentioned already, but I love my design wall that I got last Christmas. You can find them on-line that are portable or one's you place on a wall. Good Luck and Merry Christmas!

How is her "pressing station"? Maybe she would like the new ironing board that is quite a bit bigger and is a long rectangle. Don't know what they call it but it is almost always shown in the Keepsake Quilts catalog. Good luck. Y
