threads
Would like the know what quilters are working and share ideas.
Answer
I am pushing to finish a queen size quilt to give to my mother for her birthday in June. I did a block-of-the-month at a local quilt shop and am putting the blocks together in a "on-point" setting with 2" sashing.
My other works in progress:
1. Queen size quilt for my son who is in his first apartment (kit from Joann Fabrics), I am assembling the top.
2. Double size quilt for my spare room bed/ pattern is Diane Webber "Big Blossom Trio" This is cut out and ready to sew.
3. Crib size quilts from "Care bears" panels (2), to be donated to my guild comfort quilt program. These are bordered and ready to layer and quilt.
My other planned projects (have fabric, no action yet):
4. Table runners for my bedroom dressers to match the bed quilt, and runner for SIL for Christmas gift.
5. Memory quilts with fabric acquired on vacations (New Zealand, Caribbean, Hawaii)
6. Crib size quilts for extended family members who are "planning" to start a family soon
And a long list of ideas that might have some fabric already waiting in my stash!

Can anyone tell me what would make a nice gift for someone who is really in to quilting, but is also fairly new to it? It's for my mother. She has years experience with sewing but is new to quilting and I'd like to get her something nice for her birthday.
Answer
Well... it kind of depends on what she already has.
Does she have a cutting mat? a rotary cutter? any of the quilting rulers?
A gift card to a fabric store is always welcome
Plastic bins to help her organize her "stash" of quilting fabrics
Gift certificate for quilting classes
If she regularly patronizes a small local quilt shop (not one of the big chain fabric stores), she may have a gift registry started there. I know my LQS has this service, and many husbands and kids take advantage of it!
