The giveaway is now closed.
So, to kick off Christmas Gifts for Quilters, here is a button you can grab for your blog. The button will link back to the original intro post for this series and, over time, that post will link to all the subsequent posts in the series so just leave the button lying around when friends and relatives are around and hope that they click through and get some great ideas of what to get you for Christmas. And just in case none of your relatives are showing any interest in any of these great ideas, there's a fabulous FQ bundle giveaway at the end of this post (and hopefully all the CG4Q posts).
To kick us off, I had a chat with Peg and Becca from Sew Fresh Fabrics to see what three gifts they would suggest a friend or relative of a quilter might like to give, something small, something medium and something large. And here's what they said. For a small gift, how about a gift certificate. This listing is for $25 but you can buy a certificate for any amount.

I currently have no idea what I'd like for Christmas but a gardener would be great! I think gift vouchers and books are more likely though!!
ReplyDeleteOf course I follow you! Love the idea of these posts!
ReplyDeleteI wish for more SPACE for a dedicated quilting area, but I guess that will come once someone decides to buy our (lovely) appartment, so we can move on... Such a gift is most welcome BEFORE Christmas :)
ReplyDeleteAnd you are of course listed in my Google reader :)
ReplyDeleteI would like a new sewing machine, a new laptop, and a new iPhone 4s (coming out next week). Okay? Will I need to sit on Santa's lap?

ReplyDeleteCan you ask for more time to do projects for Christmas? I doubt I'll get it though! So if I can't have that, I guess I want a bigger sewing desk!

ReplyDeleteI'm a happy blog follower! Thank you for such a generous giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI haven't even begun my Christmas list. I tend to usually want a mix of things ranging from the: No bloomin' chance of getting that to the more affordable under a fiver things to amuse me. It would of course be a bonus if I got to see my other half over Christmas and more of in general.
ReplyDeleteI hope that we will have a new apartment by christmas, so I hope to receive the wallpaper I want.
ReplyDeleteI also follow you!
ReplyDeleteOooh love the basics, metro living rocks :-) i think for my christmas I'd want mum to come visit and quilt with me for a week or so!

ReplyDeleteI can't think of anything special I would want for Christmas. I do like sparklies but my husband said my wedding ring will be the only sparklie I will ever get out of him. So I'll have to think on it
ReplyDeleteHmmm. What I want for Christmas? I think a big new cutting mat, 24 x 36, to go on top of my new cutting table would be perfect.

ReplyDeleteI'm hoping for 'Modern Blocks: 99 Quilt Blocks From Your Favourite Designers' and fabric :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE Peg and Becca's stash builders! Thanks for the giveaway.

ReplyDeleteWhat I'd like for Christmas? I'd like for my dysfunctional family to get together for the holidays and nobody gets their feelings hurt, nobody storms out of the house crying, nobody makes a monumental announcement that totally dumfounds all of us, and nobody gets slapped. Yep - that would probably be my Christmas wish.
ReplyDeleteOf course, I'm a follower.
ReplyDeleteI really want some new quilty notions for Christmas. I would like to replace a couple of rulers, a beam and read light, a rotary blade sharpener! Thanks!

ReplyDeleteWe have a catalog here in the states from a shop called "Hancocks of Paducah". You probably know all about it 'cause you're sharp like that. Anyway all the new Kaffe fabrics were in the most recent mailing, and I told my family I'd like a yard of each for Christmas. My husband's response was "what are you going to make with it?" Which ws a subtle dig meaning "you have too much fabric already". But that's what I REALLY want. Oh yeah, and the time to make something with it ;-)
ReplyDeleteAlways a follower of yours!!
ReplyDeleteI follow you on Google Reader and get lots of inspiration from your blog.
ReplyDeleteSanta please bring me an iPad so that I can have it next to the sewing machine for internet inspiration and tutorials.
ReplyDeleteI need the Tardis for Christmas so I can go forwards and backwards in time - that way I will be able to buy the fabric I love but didn't get around to buying before it went; be able to warn myself not to make the mistakes I'm going to make - which will save even more time for making stuff!
ReplyDeleteWhat a winner - oh and I might even buy a lottery ticket to help pay for it all!
I follow - of course I do!
ReplyDeleteI would really like a new sewing machine for Christmas. I know I'm not going to get it, though, so maybe a gift card would be nice.

ReplyDeleteI would like a new sewing machine and fabrics for Christmas.
ReplyDeleteIn the quilting department, I would like, perhaps, a quilting magazine subscription. Not that I need more inspiration, but I certainly enjoy leafing through one from time to time.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea what I want for Christmas!! I'm always praying for my family and friends to be healthy and happy, so that would be fine. But of course who wouldn't love to get some fabric? LOL Any kind of sewing goodies or maybe a gift card or money to go to a quilt shop! Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteI'm a follower here!!
ReplyDeleteHaven't made a Christmas list yet, but I'll probably ask for the Kona color cards!

ReplyDeleteDoes it count if I say I want a 25th hour in the day for Christmas? No? How about something more realistic: a set of decent speakers to plug into my computer in my studio.
ReplyDeleteI'm already a follower!
ReplyDeleteI really don't know what I'd like for Christmas. It's always a chore (!) to come up with ideas. I wouldn't mind a flat screen tv for my living room, but the tv I have works fine so I have a hard time replacing something that works. In Ipad would be my second choice only because I like playing the bubble burst game and angry birds!!! Thanks
ReplyDeleteI am a follower of your blog. Thanks again!
ReplyDeleteI haven't made a list but just off the top of my head I would say a new PNS camera. Mine has fallen in a lake and been dropped and repaired so a new one would be awesome!
ReplyDeleteI am ever you loyal and devoted follower, you know that silly!
ReplyDeleteThe only thing I want is new kitchen assemble - pot holders, hot pads, and towels - mine are about 6 + yrs. old.
ReplyDeleteI am a follower
ReplyDeleteYummy giveaway - thank you! I would love a really good camera with a telephoto lens for
