I need help in chosing a great gift for my favorite quilter. In these troubled times, money is a little tight but I am sure there is enough for something nice. Maybe not a new quilting machine but she already has a big monster that must be 10' long and a Genomie sewing machine to boot. She has enough fabric to quilt Rhode Island and maybe Vermont to boot. So, what is a DH to do?

Is there anything that comes close to being a romantic quilting gift? I want this to be a special Christmas for her. I don't want to buy another set of spark plugs and wrench so she can change them herself again. Hey, a couple of years ago the plugs made her car run better but it hurt when she hit me with the wrench. Oil for her car is out too.

Suggestions please.

How is her supply of thread?
There are so many "coordinated" sets out now that I'd love to get. There are also those large cones of thread in very nice colors, solid or varigated.

Or as others have suggested, a gift certificate...but that's not the same is it?
Anything you give her will come from your heart and she will appreciate your gesture...after all, as you mentioned...it's not a wrench. :thumbup:
