Spools of different brands of thread (so she can choose which she likes)
Rotary cutter and refill blades
Gift cards to her LQS, an online store, or JAF/Hobby Lobby etc.

Great ideas ladies!
She is a brand new quilter, just working on her 2nd quilt. I'm sure she will be thrilled with anything he chooses for her.
Thanks, and I will continue to watch this thread for more ideas.

I have a metal yard stick that I find to be more accurate when I'm measuring a flimsy, getting ready to add borders. Maybe it's because it is thinner than a wooden one?? And a quilter can use several of those magnetic pin holders!

graph paper
colored pencils (the better ones - such as Prismacolor)
General white chalk pencil or General white charcoalpencil
General Sketch and Wash pencils
a beginner how-to book - Quilts! Quilts! Quilts! is still one of my favorites - I think it's still available through Amazon.
Most beginner books have a listing of equipment/supplies that are needed/useful.
