    Default Need gift ideas please.......

    I'm looking for a novelty gift idea for a friend who loves to quilt. I don't mean something to make that is quilted. I'm looking for something unique to buy that is quilting related. Any ideas?

    I got on etsy an altoids box covered in fimo clay, beautiful designs. got one friend an
    iron made of wood with a needlecase in the other end for pressing paper piecing. got wood handles for
    seam rippers here on the board. You could always make a really nice pincushion.
    I think anyone of these is a great idea. I'm always looking myself.if anyone finds something
    let me know,. and with fimo clay. stalk ETSY for ideas also.

    Not real creative but a gift certificate to a LQS would be appreciated.

    Does the like more "stuff" - or is she a minimalist?

    Sometimes a note of appreciation is the most appreciated thing a person can receive.

    just saw on a website to make quilting gloves.
    get those cheap stretchy ones at Joanns for $1. get the puffy paint pens from michaels $1
    write on the finger and palms, let dry and you have quilting gloves really cheap.

    Have you seen the Quilter's Jelly thread? There are some clever ideas in the links.
