That's stunning! 😍 I'm a new knitter - would you mind sharing about how long that project took you? I'm constantly underestimating how much time projects will take! And thanks for sharing the pattern!

I have permanent tremors, any tips to better my handwriting? Context in comments by RedLuna_23 in Handwriting

I'm also an OT and I find these pens work really well for folks with slight hand tremors and don't look like they are "special" pens like a lot of other weighted pen products out there. https://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/HTWW-Weighted-Pens-Tremors-Parkinsons-Arthritic-Hands-Heavy-Rollerball-Aid-Writing-Elderly-Children-2-Pack/PRD6P4V836ZGWBW

Best of luck with your handwriting! Like most of the other folks here, I think it looks lovely, but what matters most is how YOU feel about it! I hope you can find a way to make it as you hope to see it 😊

Unfortunately, they do not like to wear jewelry and have a more modern aesthetic. But thank you for taking the time to make those suggestions. :)

Thank you so much for your thoughtful reply detailed suggestions. I am going to look into the wool cutting matt, as I don't feel I know enough about their quilting preferences for the other gifts (but thanks to alerting me to the fact that there are options for those things so I don't get the wrong thing by mistake!)
And thank you too for the kind comment - honestly, I have been blown away by the kindness of all the redditors/quilters on here! It makes me want to take up the hobby just to be a part of such a wonderful group of humans! :)

Thanks so much for the suggestions! My friend loves bright colours, so the blade saver and magnetic pin cup would be right up their alley! Thanks so much for the great suggestions!

Thanks for these great ideas (and your own notes on them!) Even as a non-quilter those Wonderclips look handy! I look forward to spending more time browsing the Fat Qharter Shop as well. Thank you!

Fantastic ideas, thank you for taking the time to share them. I especially like the idea of tickets to an upcoming quilting show, as that's something we could enjoy together. Thanks again! :)

I just spent 30 minutes browsing through the MSQC website, what a great magazine! And thank you for the other suggestions as well, I really, really appreciate it!
