Holiday Gift Ideas

Despite the unusually mild temperatures we have had here in North Idaho, it really is just a few weeks until Christmas! Time is ticking away quickly for gift shopping, so I thought I'd share a few ideas.

For your quilting and sewing friends, there are tons of ideas! A small basket filled with notions like thread, needles, a special tool, or even a few fat quarters is always a big hit. For many quilters, purchasing new tools or notions is hard when we're hoarding our money for fabric. If you have a special quilting friend, buying them a tool they wouldn't otherwise purchase for themselves is a great gift. Ideas include the Sidewinder, the Calantha Rotary Cutter, the Clover Mini-Iron, and the Electric Scissors.

Another idea for your quilting friends is to buy a kit. If you shop with them, you've probably got a good idea what styles and patterns they like. There are kits for every taste, and every budget. View them all here!

If all else fails, gift certificate never disappoints. I have them available in increments of $5. Call and I can even mail them with a card for you!
