Gift certificate
I was given a $100 gift certificate for a local quilting store that stocks a
suprisingly SMALL amount of fabric (disappointingly little). They do seem to have a selection of books and doo hickeys (templates, rulers, that kind of thing). What would you buy? Trixie |

I'd get a goodly amount of their best muslin for the backs of things, any
cutting templates/rulers that I don't already have, some extra rotary cutter blades, thread to match all my UFOs, batting, and a credit slip for any of the $100 that remains - in the hopes they eventually get some fabric that I like.

I'd go for books and doo-hickeys! Get the biggest ruler they stock. Do you
need a new (or bigger) mat? -- Wendy http://griffinsflight.com/Quilting/quilt1.htm de-fang email address to reply "Trixie" wrote in message news I was given a $100 gift certificate for a local quilting store that stocks a suprisingly SMALL amount of fabric (disappointingly little).

Trixie I do look longingly at quilt guns - make basting so easy, so either books (love books) or the doo hickeys I really wanted but would never buy. A selection of different size rulers, and these speciality rulers would be nice Alternativly I would spend the money on something mundane like batting/needles, ie the ordinary boring bits that you have to buy anyway, and then 'give myself permission' to use $100 in a fabric shop I liked. -- Sally in Suffolk UK http://community.webshots.com/user/sallyswin |

I would buy Backing Fabric - or batting - never have enough of that.

Trixie Books are good - treat yourself to some of the best ones around (and anything by our Carol Doak comes high up on that list!) and enjoy! Pick a technique that you aren't familiar with, and wouldn't necessarily buy for yourself, and get it - a "free book" is a nice way to find a new love!

Something you wouldn't normally spend the money on. Maybe some books you
don't have? Or do-hickeys you wouldn't buy in a pink fit because they cost too much - but now you can because you aren't really paying.

fits myself TAria Sharon Harper wrote: Something you wouldn't normally spend the money on. Maybe some books you don't have? Or do-hickeys you wouldn't buy in a pink fit because they cost too much - but now you can because you aren't really paying. Have fun! |
