For Christmas I'd like to get everything done so that I can relax and enjoy the day.

Jessica said...

fabric of course!

Barbara O. said...

My wishlist: a Bosch Kitchen Machine and a fabric subscription
For your step-dad: lether motorcycle bags (made by you) or utensils bags for his technology thingies (also made by you), have a look round his workshop while he's busy, so you see what he uses and needs.

Anonymous said...

Gift idea for your step dad I'm suggesting a personalized cellphone/Ipad/Laptop sleeve with his initials appliquéd on it maybe? With a matching little zipper case for his headphones (they're always forgotten otherwise) with a clip so they can be easily clipped together. Something more manly then my version for myself but to give you an idea what I mean: http://www.notonlyquilts.com/2012/07/cellphone-earphone-cases.html

It's useful but also nice and home made?

Thanks a lot for the chance to win! =D

Heidi Staples said...

What a gorgeous stack of fabrics! I'd love...well, a little more fabric for Christmas, of course! :)

charlotte l said...

A Hero Go cam would be a cool gift. It could hook on his motorcycle then he can upload video onto the computer. Thanks for the great giveaway.

Anya said...

Fabric is always on my wish list! thanks for the chance!

james and bess said...

a kindle maybe. Thanks for the giveaway!

Marilize said...

Thick socks. No jokes. My dad is a biker and he says that that is the best thing since slice bread. Or a bag for bits and pieces that is quite compact? A backbrace is also a good idea.

Good luck!

I would love a new digital camera this year.

Hi Julie - I just opened an online only fabric store called Fabric Spot (www.myfabricspot.com) based in Ontario, Canada. I was hoping to stock your Mod Pop quilt pattern. Do you sell it wholesale? Please contact me at karen@myfabricspot.com.

Thanks for the giveaway!

Tricia said...

Fabric and quilting books.

Julie said...

I gave my fil a bunch of different types of unpopped popcorn. It was fun to try the different types, they all tasted.

KeriCan said...

Hmmm, I'd like a rocking chair and a replacement for my injured quilter's square and rotary cutting mat.

Kaynik said...

I don't really have anything on my wishlist. I did ask my hubby to rig/build me some sort of table I can use when trying to free motion quilt a larger piece. I explained what I needed it for so I'll see what he comes up with???

Thanks for the chance to win.

Mhairi said...

For the present: Does he have a kindle, or an iPad. Why not make him a cover, protector etc from motorcycle fabric? I am sure he would appreciate it, if he already has one, how about a glasses case or a gear bag for his motorcycle tools.

Jessica said...

I really want a craft of the month subscription! And an idea for your step dad can be found at the Apple store!

Danny Heyen said...

Thanks for chance to win. Time to sew.

jeifner said...

Oh, oh! I was running into the same problem with my dad but then we saw this commercial about the Kobalt Multi-Drive Wrench. He thought it was cool and I thought perfect present! It's different because it adjusts itself without having to lock/unlock or screw/tighten it.

hmm how about some polishing towels (or whatever they use to polish their bikes). A gas voucher (yeah I know vouchers are not very inovative). I guess he's too old for a safety training weekend, or a first aid course (those cycling accidents really look bad in the news) ...

That's that - I want a a mixer .. I have neough of hand kneading my dough ...

Thank you for the giveaway!

Mary Beth said...

I really just want some time to myself.

Ramona said...

I don't really have a list though of course fabric and anything vintage would be lovely. A gift for your father in law. What about a messenger bag for him to use while he is motorcycling or ipad, tablet protector for him. Cases for any technology is always good.

Kelli said...

I would like to get photoshop or Lightroom so I can improve my photos a little bit more. The photography is getting better, but I could use the editing software to give my pics that extra oomph!

Thank you for the giveaway!

Tammy said...

How about some gadget cases, some practical bike accessories like a new cover, polish, my husband used to bike and one year I bought a snood like thing that you wear under your helmet and keeps back of your neck warm whilst riding, I bought at a craft fair and have no idea what it is called so hope that is enough info.

My husband is getting either a new food processor or a meat slicer (he wants both) - but he loves to cook and makes a lot of our food (like bacon). If your step dad already has some technology items, could you make him carriers/protectors in manly colors? Thanks for the chance to win!

M-R Charbonneau said...

What about a iPad/Kobo/whatever case made from some funky motorcycle fabric? Thanks for the giveaway!

In my experience, men like things they can eat. Perhaps something manly like an exotic kind of meat jerky?

I would love an actual sewing desk with drawers and a drop down for my machine.

Vairë Gwîr said...

How about a digital meat thermometer? Does he cook?
A nice external hard drive? What's your budget?

Nicola said...

How about a book that has something to do with motorbikes? Or, better yet, a giftcard to his regular autoshop/mechanic. They may not do them usually but you could probably organise one sneakily! Unless it can't be a giftcard. Then I dunno :)

Nicola said...

helen ethel studio said...

A fancy new camera. : )

fern said...

My wish list is short: pinking shears...
as for your step-dad, does he have an e-reader, ipad, etc? If so, you could make him a cover that has a motorcycle on it? Or maybe Harley Davidson makes one? That would combine both things...technology and motorcycling... GOOD LUCK!

Eternal Alchemy said...

Ooh, neat fabrics! My wishlist is full of crafty things this year, I hope I get some fabric, actually!

Dede said...

I think a nice pair of cranberry Doc Martens are on my list. As I've told absolutely no one about this, it's highly unlikely that they'll find their way under my tree, though :P . As for motorcycle man? Um...a gift card? That's my go-to when guys stump me for gifts (personally, I love getting gift cards). Thanks so much for the chance at your giveaway!

Dede said...

I'm also stalking...er, I mean...following you on facebook :) Thanks again!

Oh my gosh- good luck! I think guys are so hard to shop for. My dad and brother just go out and get what they want, so it's hard to know what to get them.

The Hungry Crafter said...

Chaps? Kidding! I'm making food gifts for all the men on my list this year...

Angie said...

Hmmm, my wish list this year has on it a robe, marmalade fabric, and a new pair of Uggs. My birthday is in January, so if I don't get those things, there's always a second chance! ;) Thanks, and good luck with your father-in-law's gift!
