Wondering what to get a quilter (or maybe yourself) this holiday season? Here’s a sneak peek at the top quilting tools and fun accessories I’m hoping (and hinting) to find under the Christmas tree this year. Each one is perfect for taking my projects to the next level while keeping things fun and functional!
1. ThimTec: The Original Thimble Tape
A thimble that fits any finger size and covers any sore spot? Yes, please! I’m thrilled aboutThimTec's Original Thimble Tape, a game-changer for hand-stitching projects. It’s flexible and adjusts to wherever you need it most on your finger, which means more comfort and control. I can’t wait to use this on my winter hand-quilting projects. For any
hand-stitching enthusiast, this would make the perfect stocking stuffer!
Gone are the days of marking up my quilts with pins and clips—thisMagnetic Quilt Holder is my new favorite! It's so easy to use: just pop your quilt onto it without any tools or fuss. Plus, it’s easy to switch out quilts for every season without a fuss. This is a must-have for quilters who love showing off their work at home. No more damage to my quilts, and I can change displays as quickly as I want!
Quilters know that not all rulers are created equal. Once upon a time, I had this super handy1x6" ruler that was the perfect size for small measurements, trimming, and those precise cutting tasks. Unfortunately, it’s now lost somewhere in my sewing room (likely under a pile of fabric). I’d love a replacement this Christmas! This ruler is small but mighty, and it’s perfect for any quilting toolbox.
4. Portable Design Wall from Connecting Threads
My sewing room has slanted walls, which makes hanging a design wall tricky. Enter thePortable Design Wall by Connecting Threads! This solution will finally allow me to lay out quilt designs without worrying about my cats sitting on them (which they love to do, by the way). It’s lightweight, easy to set up, and perfect for those with less wall space or unconventional room layouts.
5. Quilty Sweatshirt for Winter
Are you really a quilter if you don’t have quilty clothes? Well, you definitely are but the quilty clothes are always fun. I found thiscute sweatshirt that would be so fun for the colder weather. What’s Christmas without some cozy, quilty clothes?
These items top my Christmas list, and any one of them would make a fantastic gift for the quilter in your life. Whether you’re gifting yourself or shopping for someone special, these tools and accessories are sure to bring joy and inspiration into the new year – and they’re even better with some Bessie Pearl binding (wink wink!).
