A holiday gift guide for quilters.

A collection of quilting tools, gifts and books

Tis' the season to start planning your holiday gift list!  Is a quilter on your list this year for gift giving? Are you a quilter who needs some (ahem) suggestions to pass along? This quilting-inspired holiday gift guide is sure to give you some ideas.


I’ve gathered a list of 10 unique gifts you won’t want to sleep on this holiday season, all under $50! From innovative tools to personalized gifts, this guide has something for every quilter.


 

  1. Quilting Stencils from Sew Harmony


    High quality acrylic quilting stencils in varying designs

Are you stuck between straight line stitching on your domestic machine or spending the cash on longarm services?  These stencils can give you the look of an Edge-to-Edge Pantograph for much less! 


These modern quilting stencils are made of a high-quality 3mm transparent light green acrylic material. Versatile in their design, each stencil has been engineered to create multiple patterns through the use of etched lines and markings.


They feature a custom-cut top-edge that allows for perfect row alignment when marking your quilts. Their modern designs create a continuous-line, edge-to-edge pattern that is easy to follow, allow you to successfully quilt your project on your domestic machine.


Compared to your traditional flimsy plastic stencils, Sew*Harmony stencils provide a sturdy edge for running your marking tool along as well as ensuring longevity of the product with no warping, snagging or bending in storage.


Each fun and graphic pattern gives you excellent quilting coverage but is spacious enough to keep your quilt extra comfy and snuggly!


Ready to add one to your list? *USE CODE: JESSICA to get 10% off your order!


*Note: I do not receive compensation from this code, I just really think it's a great product and want to pass some savings onto you!

  1. Clover Fork Pins


    Clover Fork Pins for sewing

    Do you struggle to get those points perfectly matched up? Fork pins may be your answer! With two pins in one, the fork pin allows you to pin both sides of the seam so there is no shifting under your needle. This is a perfect stocking stuffer for the quilter in your life.

  1. Stitch Supply Rotary Blades


    Colorful and unique 45mm rotary blades for quilting

    Add a little fun to the cutting table with these colorful rotary blades from Stitch Supply Co.  Another perfect stocking stuffer, this pack of 6 blades will fit a 45mm Rotary Cutter.




  1. Wonderful World of Paper Pieced Quilt Blocks


    A foundation paper piecing book with nature-inspired designs and projects

    Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced Foundation Paper Piecing pro, Liza Taylor’s new book Wonderful World of Paper Pieced Quilt Blocks is the perfect addition to your quilting bookshelf.  Liza’s beautiful, nature-themed blocks are perfect to practice individually or to turn into a fun project around your home. 

    You can purchase Liza’s book at any of the following retailers:







  1. Ruby Star Society Strawberry Ironing Board Covers


    Ironing board covers with strawberry designs

    What’s more fun than making quilts with fun fabrics? Pressing your fun fabrics on a fun ironing board!

    These are available for pre-order at Modern Quilt Co. (estimated arrival January 2025) but would be the best way to start the new year on a fun note!



  1. Anemone 12wt. Aurifil Thread Collection by Allie McCathren


    A thread collection of varying hues of purples, pinks and yellow/orange

    If you’ve seen any of Allie’s work (ExhaustedOctopus on Instagram), you know her use of rich colors in her quilts.  I was so excited to see her newest collection from Aurifil with these drool-worthy colors.

    Perfect for hand or machine quilting, this thread collection would be a great addition to any sewists thread collection.




  1. Magnetic Wooden Pin Blocks from Modern American Vintage


    Wooden magnetic pin holders made from unique types of wood

    One of my favorite sewing tools is my wooden clapper I purchased from Modern American Vintage at QuiltCon this year.  The variety of wood species used in combination with Chris’ beautiful craftsmanship and design makes these quilting tools SO unique and one of a kind.  While he offers a variety of tools including clappers, seam rollers, point turners and stilettos, these magnetic wooden pin blocks are such a fun gift for any sewist who can use some help organizing their pins in a beautiful way.





  1. Woven Labels from The Weekend Quilter

These bright and cheery woven labels are the perfect way to add a little personality to any project.  There are several options to choose from including a “my first quilt” label, perfect for a new quilter or recipient of a quilt.





  1. Quilt Star Organic Sweatshirt from Fancy That Design House

Not sure what tools your favorite quilter might need? This sweatshirt would be great for those cozy winter evenings in the sewing room.  With a simple quilt-block design, any quilter would be sure to love it!




  1. 2025 Kona Color Calendar


A 2025 calendar featuring Kona Cotton Solids fabrics

Stay organized and inspired with the 2025 Kona Color Calendar that features 12 free patterns throughout the year.  Perfect to add a pop of color to any corner of your sewing room!




While it is not an exhaustive list of every quilting releated product on the internet, I hope this list at the very least helped you gather a few gift ideas for yourself or a quilter in your life this holiday season. Until next time, happy shopping!
