Give a gift
card or certificate to the quilter's favorite craft, hobby, or fabric store.
The gift recipient can use the gift for whatever quilting supplies he or she
needs.
If you
think a gift card isn't personal enough, there are plenty of other Christmas
gifts for quilters.
How about a
nice pair of scissors? Good scissors are a tool that every quilter needs. When
you shop for scissors as your Christmas gift for the quilter on your list, you
will see just how many kinds of scissors there are on the market. Take time to
read the packaging carefully. You wouldn't want to give your quilter a pair of
embroidery thread snips instead of a sturdy pair of fabric cutting scissors!
Books and
magazines about quilting styles and techniques make great Christmas gifts for
quilters. It does not matter how many your quilting friend already has, books
and magazines that show new techniques or trends are always a welcomed gift.
Quilters often find inspiration for new color choices, quilting patterns and
project ideas in books and magazines.
Give the
gift of an Internet quilting club membership. Many online quilting clubs give
their subscribers great quilting tips and offer one-on-one assistance for
members who email them questions. Some websites even feature regular interviews
with quilting pros or offer video streams which show demonstrations of various
quilting techniques!
Make a
quilt yourself. Even if you're not a quilter, making a quilt (or quilted wall
hanging, throw, or even a potholder) will show your quilting friend that you
recognize his or her love for quilting. Use your imagination and see what you
can quilt. If you're not a quilter, give yourself plenty of time for your first
quilting project.
Give the
gift of a quilted look in accessories for the home or office. Even if you
yourself are not a quilter, there are plenty of unique Christmas gifts for
quilters you can create yourself. Decoupage a picture frame to look like a
quilt. Or, cover a frame, desk calendar and inexpensive business card holder in
coordinating fabrics. A fabric printed or woven with a quilt pattern would be
an extra nice touch!
Give a
quilter's gift basket. Buy a nice basket to match your quilting friend's decor.
Include several quilting products in it. Good choices are various strengths of
quilting thread, a rotary cutter and cutting surface, scissors, scraps or
fabric remnants, and quilting needles (if your friend quilts by hand; machine
needles if your friend quilts by machine). Don't forget to add a copy of your
favorite quilt pattern or a book full of patterns! If you're giving the gift of
a quilting web club membership, it would be nice to "wrap" your gift
in a small gift basket.
