Pick Out Your Favorite Ideas From One of These 38 Ideas

T-Shirt – Every quilter loves some quilt-themed apparel. This terrific t-shirt is from Stella Vita Studio and I love it. I’ll be wearing it a lot this holiday season. You can pick up this t-shirt at the Stella Vita Studio Etsy shop.

Handmade Items – Give your friend something you’ve made. It doesn’t have to be large. My easy quilted business card holder tutorial is a good one for gift giving.

Gift Cards – If you aren’t quite sure what to get, go to your local quilt shop and pick up a gift card. That way your friend can get whatever they want or need. Put the card in a pretty holder to make it extra special.

Clips – Most quilters would love a set of these handy clips.

Novelty Socks – Fun and easy to find, there are all kinds of sewing-themed socks available.

Stickers – Stickers are really popular right now. Here are some fun ones that are available in my Etsy shop.

Marking Tools – From time to time quilters need to mark their quilts. Regular pens and pencils can stain fabric so marking tools are a better choice.

Bobbins – If you sew you know that bobbins are always needed. You will need to know what machine you are buying the bobbins for, but they are a welcome gift.

Pincushion – I have received a number of pincushions over the years and I use them all. There are plenty of pretty ones to choose from too.

Yo-Yo Makers – It is fun to make fabric yo-yos and these tools make it really easy.

The List Continues

Fabric – Fabric can be subjective, but anyone will tell you that quilters love fabric. Check out a local quilt shop for some fun fabrics to give your friend.

Magazine Subscription – Everyone loves to get magazines and a subscription to a favorite quilting magazine is always welcome. Just make sure that your friend doesn’t already have one.

Jewelry – Does your friend like jewelry? There are so many beautiful options out there. I bought these red crochet earrings from Parlez Vous Crochet and I absolutely love them.

Notecards – Yes people still write notes every once in a while. A lovely box of quilt-themed notecards is a thoughtful gift.

Keepsake Box – Pretty boxes are nice for storing little keepsakes and there are many with quilt themes on them.

Hand Lotion – This may sound odd to some of you, but quilter’s hands get very dry, especially in the winter. People who hand quilt also get lots of chapping. Throw a jar of their favorite hand lotion in their stocking. They’ll love it.

Ornaments – A pretty ornament is a nice keepsake for a friend.

Rotary Cutter – Quilters can always use a rotary cutter. If you aren’t quite sure what to get, ask at the quilt shop. They can help you decide.

Straight Pins – If you quilt then you know that you always need more straight pins. I go through them like crazy and am always picking up more.

Quilt Hangers – Quilters are always looking for ways to show off their work. For smaller quilts, these types of hangers work well.

Color Wheel – Great for a newer quilter, give them a color wheel. It is a nice way for them to explore colors and color combinations for their quilts.

Mini Ruler – There are so many awesome mini quilt rulers out there and they all get used. This one is perfect for 2 1/2″ squares which is a fairly common size in quilting.

More Awesome Stocking Stuffers

Thread – Thread is always useful. If you aren’t sure what color to use, go for a neutral like beige, white or gray. It will come in handy.

Snippers – This has quickly become my favorite quilting tool. They are very useful in the sewing room.

English Paper Piecing Glue Stick – This little stick was invaluable when I was doing some English paper piecing last year. If your friend does a lot of it, think about getting them one.

Fabric Glue – Whether in stick form or liquid, we quilters need some fabric glue every once in a while and we don’t always have it on hand.

Archival Marking Pen – These are great for labeling or writing on quilts. The ink doesn’t fade and lasts a long long time.

Bias Tape Maker – This little tool is so helpful when making quilt bindings.

Thimble – There are some any beautiful thimbles available. Many are decorative and sure to be a hit with a friend. The one shown is utilitarian which is also thoughtful and useful.

Sewing Machine Needles – Before you buy some, find out what brand and size your friend uses. However, they will be very much appreciated because quilters go through needles pretty quickly.

Needle Keeper – A little needle keeper is great for storing needles and taking them with you when you sew in various places. There are all sorts of pretty ones available.

Seam Ripper – From basic ones like the one pictured, to elaborate ones made in silver or carved wood, a seam ripper is always needed.

Key Chain – Key chains are a great way to show off your quilting pride.

Needle Threader – The older I get, the more I use this little device. Your friends will thank you if you put one of these in their stocking.

Last But Not Least

Cups or Mugs – Who wouldn’t love a fun thermal cup like this. I always have water by my side when I’m sewing. There are plenty of pretty designs available.

Decorative Pins – Pins are all the rage right now. This pretty mandala was given to me by a friend and I always put it on my bag strap when I hit the quilt shows.

Bobbin Keeper – Bobbins unwind very easily and these little gadgets help keep them in check. There are all sorts of designs and they are all useful.

Magnetic Needle Minder – These little magnets are great to keep track of needles. I have a couple which I keep around the house since I have stepped on one too many needles in my time.
