    I read your article about the joy of the tools we use….I hope you carry those wooden handles for the seam rippers? Cause I would really like one…my hand does tire easily from the small rippers now, so that larger handle would ease that pain…and nice that you just change the ripper and not the whole handle when they dull. Thanks for all the inspiration you give!

    I am a recent subscriber to your letters, having seen your shop in a FabShopHop list, and I already am glad that I signed up! I am thrilled with the free quilt pattern you are giving us; it will be the challenge of my quilts thus far (I have only been quilting for about three years.)! If I win one of the gift certificates, I will be tempted to use it for the beautiful colors Free Spirit has used in this gorgeous star pattern! Thanks so much. I am looking forward to reading my next letter from you.

    The Whimsy quilt is great - would take ME out of my box with those colors but I probably need it! Also wanted to say that I LOVE that seam ripper thingie Wendy mentions - used to be my least favorite tool, now I actually like it:)!!!
    The block of the month has been great (also ‘our of the box’ for me) - would you consider doing s ’softer’ color scheme as an option next year?
    Thanks!

    Hello from Alaska. I have been quilting for over 30 years but have had a hiatus the past 3 after the death of my son. I have recently started sewing again, and what a challenge to get my mind back into the swing of things. The drive and desire I used to possess has departed and I am in a desperate search to find it again!! This website is a boon to the sewing world and I want to thank you.

    Everyday on my lunch hour I try to do something that feeds my creative side. Then, as soon as I get home, I get on the Internet to look at all the fabric shops/blogs that have sent me emails!

Couple Gift Romantic

But these gifts don't have to be the only ones in the baskets.

For the Person That's Into Other Types of Hardware, Think Lowe's or Home Depot

For DIY-ers, certain things are necessary for comfort on the job. Snacks help, but the right tools are better.

Drill bits wear down, screw drivers get dull, and tape measures lose their stiffness after a while. And for those who love DIY-ers, knowing the difference may be tough, but buying under the assumption that an upgraded hammer is going to make him or her happy will more likely than not make for a great Easter basket addition.

A great gift that can keep on giving is the DIY channel or a season of such shows as Flip This House or Sweat Equity.

For those who love sweet treats, the shopping is even easier.

Some Sweet Teeth Want More Than a Hollow Bunny

For those with more sophisticated palates, hollow bunnies can be, well....hollow and plain.

Easter baskets can be extra special with specialty foods, such as gourmet bon bons. For those who haven't had the pleasure of trying one, there is something missing in their lives. Made-to-order bon bons from such shoppes as South 'n France in Wilmington, North Carolina, make these delicious treats to order, and ship them sealed and cooled.

Getting back to the first gift idea, these bon bons will likely kindle the fire that can be made for a most glorious Easter celebration for two.

Estate Planning in California: Gifting Stocks as an Estate Planning Tool

7:12 am Asset Protection, Elder Law, Estate Planning, General Information

According to a recent article from SmartMoney.com, “One straightforward estate-planning tool is a simple gift, taking advantage of the annual $13,000 per person (or $26,000 per couple) gift exclusion. Some parents opt to give that gift in stock rather than cash, which lets the recipient enjoy the profit if stock prices rise. But after the 2009 surge in the market, other people may prefer to wait until death to pass along stocks that have risen sharply; with that arrangement, the recipient may be able to avoid paying taxes.”

California estate planning lawyers can help you understand and plan your gifting to avoid taxation on stocks or cash gifts. Gifting stocks may not be a bad idea in this market — while the value of stocks dropped to staggering lows across many corporations traded on the NYSE, many are on the rise in the first quarter of 2010. Given the pendulum-like nature of stocks, someone gifted stocks after your death may be able to cash them out and enjoy the liquid assets after you pass away. In the meantime, however, that is to say, before you die, gifting the stocks will allow them to continue to increase in value. This means more value for the recipient of the gift — and if you gift to a minor child, you may be able to take advantage of that increase — tax free — before your final will and testament is being read.

Newport Beach asset protection attorneys can tell you more about how gifting can work in your favor as well as that of your loved ones. If you have an interest in working gifting into your estate plan, contact your California asset management lawyer today.
