Recently, I asked a question on Instagram: what quilting related items are on your wish list for Christmas this year? They were so fun to read and I thought you would enjoy seeing them, too.
This is a list of the compiled items - I have added links where I had recommendations. If you have anything to add to the wish list, add it in the comments!
A note to anyone purchasing gifts for a quilter: the quilter for whom you are shopping may request things like rulers, an iron, or thread - these may not seem like glamorous gifts to buy someone for a holiday, but they mean a lot to a quilter!
Fabric and/or Gift Cards to Fabric Shops
This was the most requested item - I don't blame you! I always buy myself fabric for Christmas (ha!). Specifically mentioned were an Unruly Nature bundle, Liberty fabric, a Curiouser & Curiouser Bundle, and anything from Ruby Star Society. Also, bolts of background fabric - this is such a great idea for a gift!
Time
This was the second most requested item and we could all use more of it. If anyone actually figures out how to get more time, please let me know!
Miscellaneous Notions
Piecing Pins (These are the ones that I use for almost everything!)
Lighting (I have 2 of these and love them!)
Cutting Supplies
Rotary Blades - I have had good luck buying these knock off blades on Ebay - YMMV!
Books
Batting
Gift Certificates
Did you know I sell gift cards to my shop? You can find them here
Rulers
Stripology Ruler (make sure to get the XL!)
Sewing Machines
Longarm Machine
Bigger Sewing Machine
Sashiko Machine
Pressing Supplies
Don't feel like you need someone to gift you what you want for Christmas, I am a big believer in quilter's buying gifts for themselves!

Time: The great commodity! Offer to help mow the person's lawn, walk their dog, make them a to go dinner (you drop dinner off and leave! so they can sew) pick up their groceries, return library books. Any place you go the quilter probably goes too. Offer to help photograph their quilt in some cool location! Time. Never enough time. Thanks for asking! p. s. This is my Christmas list!
ReplyDeleteOffering time to someone is such a precious gift!
DeleteAs for time~ when our kids were small, my hubby would load them up and take them bowling, or to a movie, or even just to a larger playground to give me a little 'free' time to sew. :) It was great!
ReplyDeleteThat is the best gift!
DeleteErica, Please Help.
ReplyDeleteI bought ten of your patterns on November 29,2021 and didn't download them immediately thinking I'd be getting a link with "here are the patterns" or something similar. Of course I didn't and now can't find out how to download them conveniently without bothering you... Of course I need help.
If you need the list of the pattern to help I at least did print out my receipt and the patterns. My email is:
