ideas on what to get someone who has been sewing for 50 yrs
Besides a gift certificate, any ideas on what to give someone for their sewing room who appears to have it all? I am sure there is something I can make or give her that she doesn't have. So far I have chocolate candy sewing room (candy molds) from the chocolate factory. I thought maybe some suggestions from others would be helpful.

I've been sewing for 50 years and never have exactly the right thread when I begin a project. A rainbow assortment of threads would make me really happy. Also, last year my daughter bought me three packs of Bali Pops and the pattern to go with them. I started that project before New Year's because it was so different from what I usually do that I got really excited by it.

Does she have the weighted pin cushion with the bag attached for thread scraps? I have sewn a long time and only made myself one about 3 years ago for my sewing room. I made lots for other people but not myself, silly me. Sew handy and it keeps my sewing room floor neater.

You said she sews. Does she quilt? If so, I really love my Purple Gizmo:

How about putting together a photo book of her work -- I guess I'm assuming quilts here, but pretty much any crafter would appreciate nicely done photos of their projects pulled together in one of those photos books -- not expensive from online sources or costco.
