  3. The Fatquartershop.com wishlist is a great place for my family to choose Christmas gifts for me.

    2. Thanks for the info. I did not realize that I could share my wish list. I will definitely do that because my husband and kids think I already have everything, but we all know that’s not true. I usually get gift certificates from him which I always enjoy, but any gift is greatly appreciated.

    3. Lori Holt, Stacy Iest Hsu, My Sister and I, are all great fabrics gifts for me. A few notions too.

  5. Thanks for making this list – I always find something I have left off my Christmas Wish List.

    1. Thank you for the blog post. I was trying to think what I could use my October Sew Sampler coupon for. This has given me some ideas.

  10. Sew many great ideas! The Kaffe Fasset would be beautiful long after 2024 is over. Can’t go wrong with a FQS gift certificate. So hard to choose. I’ll just have to get them all.

  36. Yes to all of the above wish list and then a whole lot more. Just pack up the sho, I’ll take it to go. Lol

  40. Some really great ideas! I think I would want the Lori Holt quilt planner – I have too many WIPs at any given time and have a hard time keeping track of them.

  43. I love all the suggestions. I’ve bought the materials to make Lori Holt’s boards, but, if I was lucky enough to win, I would use the gift certificate to purchase at least one.
    The other enticing thing is that this contain things that I wouldn’t necessarily be drawn to but would enjoy trying out.
    Thank you!
    (and I have my fingers crossed)

  47. I have added the Alphabitties to my list as I’m getting tired of using post it notes and safety pins.

  49. I love anything. You can never have too much! I love that I can share my wish list and then when USPS drops off a package from Kimberly Jolly it is so exciting! I just got a birthday present last night and then could mark a few things off of my wish list!

  52. My wishlist continues to grow and includes Mercantile, Shoreline, Flower Girl and the kits for quilted scarecrow, snowman and crows in the corn. Gotta remember to send Santa a link to my FQS wishlist.
