Quilt lovers are easy to spot once you know what to look for: thread on the sleeve, a fabric store receipt in every pocket and a faraway look whenever someone mentions a sale on batting. Gifts for Quilt Lovers is our collection of sayings and characters that describe her perfectly, so we let the designs write their own personal ads. Read closely. One of them is bound to sound like someone you love.
Adventurous type, loves a road trip
Knows every quilt shop within a day's drive and leaves instructions in case she gets lost in one. If Unresponsive Please Drive to Nearest Quilt Shop says exactly where to find her, in bright gradient letters with a spool standing in for the o in shop. Follow Your Soul adds a compass and a gentle promise that it knows the way to the quilt shop. Weekend Forecast calls for quilting with a chance of chocolate, which is the only forecast she checks.
Homebody with big plans
Her calendar holds one appointment, and she keeps it faithfully. Plan for Today: Quilting comes in several hands, from a simple script line to a sewing machine banner to letters built from safety pins. Rise Shine Quilt watches the sun come up behind a machine in purple and pink, Hands Off My Stash guards her treasure in rainbow script, and Real Life is Really Starting to Interfere with my Crafting Time says what every quilter has thought while unloading the dishwasher.
Philosopher, deep thinker, good with scraps
Enjoys long talks about the meaning of life, which usually lead back to quilting. I Quilt Therefore I Am states her whole philosophy in bold white letters. Live Life One Stitch at a Time and When Life Gives You Scraps Make a Quilt share her gentle outlook, Quilting My Best Life blooms with flowers under a golden sun, and Quilters Never Cut Corners reminds everyone that she takes her points seriously. I Quilt, What's Your Superpower? asks the question she already knows the answer to.
Comes with cats, and a lion
Pets are part of the package. Bonnie Tartanpleat, a folded-ear tabby, sits in the middle of a half-pieced quilt as if she designed it, and Bess Buttonrow, black and white and very serious, supervises from the top of a treadle machine. Standing guard at the door is the Better Run lion in his cool sunglasses, protecting her quilting time from all comers.
For the quilt lover in your life
You already know her profile by heart. She is the friend who texts you a photo of her binding at midnight, the sister who plans trips around shop hops, the mom who taught you to thread a needle. Find the ad that is SO her and answer it. Quilters Gonna Quilt, after all, and the best match for a quilt lover is anyone who lets her.
