I saw Nancy at the quilt retreat. Her sister & mom laughed exactly like Nancy!!

My favorite quilty gift was from my husband a few Christmases ago when he actually remembered I had said I wanted a special set of half rectangle rulers/templates. I was so surprised!! He was listening!!’.

When I was in college, I visited my great grandma who was in her 90s. She let me pick a quilt from her quilt box. I picked a drunkard path quilt she had made in the 1930s. It is my favorite quilt.

My favorite gift is the sewing machine my hubby bought me for Christmas.

My favorite quilting gift that I received was the "wedding" quilt my church friends and I made when I got married in 1998. We all learned to applique the same block. It took my mother 20 years to hand quilt it because she was busy with other wedding, baby, and Christmas quilts, other hand work, a full time job, and LIFE. I mix it into my quilt rotation to think of those ladies I haven't seen since all my family moved away from that town. Some are no longer with us. ❤😢

My favorite quilting gift is a completely hand pieced and hand quilted twin size quilt made by my first quilting mentor. She gave me several quilts before her death in 2021. I treasure her memory and prolific quilting legacy.

A quilting friend of mine bought some fabric I was admiring and made it into a handbag for me, and I have been using it ever since. I love it. Goodbye designer bags!

[@vickioneill1766]

My favorite & totally surprising was my Oliso iron! Daughter also gave me a gift certificate to my quilt shop!❤❤❤❤

[@susanmanning983]

I received a quilt my Grandma made from my cousin when her Mom passed. She had more than one so she shared ❤️

[@jodymurphy6393]

My good friend hand sewn a baby quilt for my first granddaughter. She has been my quilting mentor and it meant so very much❣️

[@cindymontgomery1748]

I love quilt retreats❤🥰

[@carolynsolomon8182]

I love the Nordic Christmas pattern. Kind of a Block of the Month!

[@kathykittle1732]

The charm pack was so pretty! Thank you!

[@pammeulemans7662]

My best sewing gift was a little wall hanging project that my friend didn’t want to do but! I think it’s super cute.

[@gailwhitaker4670]

I received a table topper made of the Dresden from my mom many years ago. Love it.

[@dianerinehart8706]

My favorite sewing gift was a pair of Gingher scissors given to me by an aunt that I used to sew with.

[@brendafoley6995]

Love that flannel 😊

[@KathyNess-cc5er]

A cute little jar filled with pins with a pincushion on top of the lid, some sweet!

[@maryb1111]

My favorite quilt gift that was gifted to me was from a dear friend who made me a clear vinyl project bag and hand sewing notion holder.

[@vickioneill1766]

Really like the tips for the phone case!❤

[@markhessefort]

I received a Serger sewing machine for Christmas in 1984 and just burst into tears. from Robin

[@petarichards467]

I think that my favourite sewing gift that I received has been gift vouchers to buy fabric

[@Pattir924]

Love sip and snip. Have had it for 2 years after seeing it at retreat

[@cindymontgomery1748]

Stuffing is the best!

[@cristinemincheff2699]

I've made one. It's quite fun.

[@DebbieTakashima]

Love stuffing. Need to try Kira's.

[@kabjhill]

The Karen Kay Buckley scissors also has serrated instead of a knife edge which grabs and holds the thread while cutting. My favorite tool, too.

[@jenifernemeth9611]

My best sewing gift was the tan Singer Featherweight my dad bought me!! Legendary story--he got it for $8. Neither he nor the "junk shop" owner knew anything about it. Dad just thought it was cute and I might like a smaller machine to take to classes 😂❤

[@sandrakugyelkarochon1256]

My favourite sewing gift I ever received was a brass handle seam ripper, awl and needle case that I continue to use after 30 years. The seam ripper is still really sharp (perhaps not too much reverse sewing over the years?!?) however, the sewing awl is a little bent!

[@annettesonneson3468]

I like stuffing if it is cooked in a separate pan and gets crispy and lightly browned on top! Much better than the soggy stuff from inside of the bird!

[@Pattir924]

Ge XL ruler from my daughter. I had the regular so I was just going to make do but…. I love my XL

[@carolynsolomon8182]

My best friend, who recently unexpectedly died, gave me a Yazzi bag for my birthday. And it was in my favorite color, purple! I miss her, but seeing the Yazzi bag eases my sorrow.

[@angelasherwood5599]

We have a gingerbread cake. I like gingersnaps.

[@katstahl]

I received a small wall hanging from a friend with my name hand stitched on it❤️❤️❤️

[@lauriepillers4413]

My brother gave me a beautiful batik fat quarter bundle. Totally unexpected from him.

[@carolynwells1395]

Gifted at a retreat a ditty bag with my name on it

[@cindyswoveland2277]

Sadly, nobody has ever given me a quilt or a quilting gift (no-one in my family have ever quilted though there were a couple of excellent seamstresses). Closest thing is a tile painted in a traditional star block pattern

[@JulieRStitches]

I don’t have a favorite because I’ve never received a sewing or quilting gift.

[@lindabeckstedt2715]

I make and give things to others, but I can’t think of anything I received.

[@cristinemincheff2699]

no.

[@cristinemincheff2699]

Stuffing IS gross! Especially with celery and fruit.
