http://www.quiltingboard.com/attachm...1-dsc02295.jpg This is a stiletto. I use them to hold down my seams so they dont get flipped when going under my presser foot. I also use them for anything that requires me to put my fingers where i dont want them like when ironing tiny seam allowances.

As for me, I love anything that someone takes a little extra time to make and send to me. I have quite a collection of all different kinds of things that people have sent, and they all have a very special meaning to me. As quilters, we know the love that goes into our work, and who can't appreciate that. I tend to go to Michaels Craft store and shop the dollar aisle. I have sent note cards, day timers, luggage tags, nail files, etc etc. I keep a supply of them on hand, to drop into a swap package or add to a small gift when needed. I surely would not stress over any of it. After all, swaps are supposed to be fun, right!

I make cup cozy's. Simple, quick and it uses up stash. You can personalize them by adding an interesting button
that you think the recepient might like. (cup cozy's are quilted rings that look like the paper ones that you use for
paper coffee cups. I insulate mine too.)

I once received 14 two and 1/2 inch squares of flannel numbered 1 thru 14. They were doubled to give them body, pinked around the edges, and were numbered with a permanent marker. These are great for numbering rows of quilt squares.
