Quilters are a selfless lot. They spend untold hours upon hours making beautiful gifts for others and ask nothing in return. During this gift-giving time of year, they definitely deserve something, but what? Here are some suggestions for gifts that quilters really could use:
- New Quilting Scissors – Destined to be at the top of the list, you know you ruined Your Quilter’s favorite scissors when you used them to cut cardboard, burritos, wire or even roof flashing. You owe a replacement pair.
- Restaurant Gift Cards – Remember when Your Quilter spent frantic days non-stop to finish that cherished baby quilt or that unforgettable wedding quilt? Well, they are going to do that again one day soon and they are not going to have time to cook dinner. Have someone else do the cooking for you both. Extra points for take-out!
- Fabric Store Gift Cards – Your Quilter can never have enough fabric so give a little help to build their stash. Be sure to support local, independently owned quilt shops!
- A Good Chair – If the gamers get fancy chairs with all kinds of lumbar support, then so should the Quilters, after all, quilting is sitting… for creative people.
- A Really Big Magnet – Preferably on a stick! Tired of walking on quilting pins in the carpet? Well, if Your Quilter had something to pick those tiny little fellas up with, you wouldn’t be finding them while in your sock feet. Makes a great stocking stuffer.
- Thread – To the uninitiated, this may sound like a terribly boring gift idea, but I can assure you that Your Quilter would find a rainbow box of threadmore delightful than a box of chocolates.
Armed with this handy list of useful suggestions, I hope you can find a nice gift for Your Quilter, because you know as well as I do… you are getting a quilt!
