Notions and gadgets
These notions and gizmos are fun, useful, and make our hobby that much more enjoyable.
This quilt doodle pad let's you doodle all your quilt block ideas. Keep it in your purse so you're ready when inspiration strikes.
These alphabet and number clips are perfect for keeping those quilt blocks and cut pieces in order.
Does your quilter sew on their travels? These Cut Anywhere Tabs are perfect to sew onto a pincushion, needlebook, or take along where scissors aren't allowed, like an airplane.
Scraps are inevitable for quilters, so these Scrappy Triangle Foundation Papers come in handy to make some fun blocks and use up those scraps.
A versatile magnet that works for keeping fabrics or EPP papers together, can double as a needleminder, and even wrap around unruly cords.
Keeping binding neat and tidy until it's being used can be a little challenging. These fun spools and wooden binding babies make the job fun and cute.
Needle minders are a must for anyone who sews by hand. These bargello and rainbow star needle minders are both beautiful and practical
This magnetic tin can double as a needleminder and a storage container for all your favourite needles.
Speaking of tins, this cute hexie tin from Moda would be perfect as a little sewing kit.
These small project bags from Moda keep everything neat and tidy for stitching on the go, or at home.
For the sewing room

Quilt-inspired printables and posters are always a fun addition to a sewing room, and this sewing room print says it all.
Does your quilter love science, too? Then this periodic table of quilt blocks is the perfect poster for their sewing room.
Or how about this word cloud of all the quilting terms?
Cute tools we use every day add a special little something to the space. Like these cute rainbow of felt pincushions. It's hard to pick just one.
Isn't this fuzzy hedgehog pincushion just adorable?
Keep your marking tools or scissors in this thimble storage container, or use it as a fun thread catcher. This link is to a canadian shop, and here's a USA-based one, too.
Pins and stickers
The popularity of quilt-inspired enamel pins and vinyl stickers does not seem to wane, so they're getting their own category again this year. Pop some stickers into your friend's stocking for their sewing machine or water bottle, or pick one of these cute enamel pins. Some even move!
All the images are linked, just click them to be taken to their site.
For all the Swiftie quilters out there.
This fun keychain also comes as a pin. And yes, the colour wheel turns.

It happens to all of us ;-)
these Just Add Sunshine stickers are perfect for water bottles or sewing machines.
This sewing kit definitely doesn't have any cookies in it ;-) but the lid on this pin moves.
Quilty apparel
I love these quilt and sewing themed t-shirts and socks, especially the punny ones.
This hoodie is perfect for the more understated quilter who might not want a quilty pun on their shirt.
This earring kit is a lovely gift if your quilter likes to make things to wear.
The perfect socks for the speed demon on the sewing machine ;-)
I'm going to guess that this shirt applies to many of us.
Isn't this patchwork pendant gorgeous? These designs are also available as keychains, earrings and scissor fobs.
I think these socks are perfect for any sewist.
For the quilty home
Quilting really doesn't need to be confined to just a sewing room. These gift ideas brighten up a quilter's home with their cheerful colours and bright modern designs.
This Allsorts tea towel is based on the quilt pattern by the same name, by Gingerberry Quilts.

I was surprised to come across quilt-inspired soaps and candles this year. These would be perfect hostess gifts if you're invited to a quilter's home this holiday season.
This soap maker has both a cute spool soap, as well as a quilt block soap.
This vanilla-scented quilt block candle is almost too pretty to light.
If you know a quilter struggling with UFOs and WIPs, this might just be the calming candle they need to finish some of them.
Quilty Games & Pastimes
This year, a couple of quilt designers published quilt-themed games, so I thought I'd give these their own category. These would be perfect to play at a retreat or sewing day as well, or get the whole family into the quilty spirit.
This one is Quilter's Block Party by Purple Moose
And Snuggle Puzzle just published Rummy Quilt: A Cozy Card Game of Stitches and Strategy.
And if your quilter prefers the more solitary games, this Quilt Shop Puzzle is just gorgeous.
