A 50th anniversary gift commemorates a milestone most married couples wish to reach. What can you possibly give a couple after 50 years of marriage? The most meaningful wedding anniversary gift is one that comes from the heart: to express your love and appreciation towards all that they mean to you, how their staying married through the thick and thin of life has influenced you, to tell about the warm and loving memories you shared with them throughout the years.
The 50th anniversary is commemorated by gold and the flower is violet. A gift certainly doesn't have to be gold, wrap a gift in gold paper or paper decorated with violets.
50th anniversary gift ideas for the couple
• Keepsake personalized anniversary gifts, such as a photo quilt or pillow
• Monthly or quarterly lo-carb, dietetic or fruit gift baskets
• Restore their wedding photo and place in a gold frame
• Have a painting or caricature made out of their wedding photo
• As they probably don't cook for themselves as much, gift certificates to restaurants would be appreciated
• A gift of theater or concert subscription tickets. Make them a patron with VIP privileges
• The children can create a 50th anniversary keepsake journal gift. Ask family and friends to write a paragraph or two to share a memory with their parents. Or ask for a photo with the couple that the children don't have and write a caption about it
• Instead of a guest book, buy a music box and fill it with messages of love written on gold or handmade paper from family and friends
• Are they up for a cruise? Take them on a weekend or week long cruise. They probably will enjoy sharing this vacation with others
• What could help them personally? Can you lease a car for them? Pay for a kitchen or other home renovation?
• Do they golf? Pay for private lessons or a VIP membership at their favorite club. Buy 2 clubs, have them engraved and then gold plated
• What hobbies do they enjoy? Give them gift certificates for a spending spree at their favorite craft or hobby store
• Buy tickets to a favorite event and pay for their lodging and food expenses
• Do they volunteer or have a favorite charity? Contribute to their favorite organization. Find out if a plaque or some other special mention can be given in their name
The best 50th anniversary gift for the couple is one that helps them to enjoy life more. Many couples don't even want to receive gifts. Give a gift of your time and help. Make up "Gift of Time" or "Labor of Love" coupons to take them out to their favorite restaurant, make them a home-cooked meal, chauffeur them on a shopping trip, run errands for them, take them to a show or movie, have a local landscaping company take care of their property, have their home repainted. Find out what will make a difference in the quality of their life.
Your love and attention will be the most appreciated 50th anniversary gift you can give your parents or a couple. Make the time for those you love!

Timely help for cat quilt block patterns
About Quilting Those of you who know me know that I love vintage reproduction fabrics, especially prints that were popular during the Civil War era, and that's what I had in mind when I designed this quilt. The fabrics might not all be right-on, but it has a vintage flair. If you aren't a fan of the vintage-look, it's easy to change the quilt's look entirely by simply choosing different fabrics. I rarely sew with solids, but this is a pattern I might consider for an Amish style quilt, combining deep navy or black with brighter colors. To make the Vintage Chains quilt, you'll sew batches of two different ten-inch blocks, and then place them on point and add a couple of borders. The quilt finishes at about 84" x 98".

Permalink | Comment | Email this Snail's Trail Quilt Pattern I like the neutral theme of this Snail's Trail quilt, but the pattern will look good sewn with any contrasting fabrics you choose. The 9-inch blocks are constructed with two fabrics: one light neutral and one dark. A very dark inner border surrounds the blocks, with a wider border beyond it. The Snail's Trail quilt finishes at 70" x 77". Snail's Trail Quilt Pattern originally appeared on About.com Quilting on Saturday, January 21st, 2012 at 06:31:42. Permalink | Comment | Email this Singer Featherweight Photo Gallery Tiny by today's standards, when people see a vintage Singer Featherweight for the very first time they sometimes think the little sewing machines are toys, but Featherweights are actually dependable workhorses that sew an excellent straight stitch. I've had several Featherweights over the years, like this white version. It lives at my house right now, even though I gave it to my daughter years ago. She has a Bernina, but I expect her to retrieve this little guy at some point. You'll find more photos in our Featherweight Gallery, so take a look, and then consider sending me a photo of your sewing machine.

Permalink | Comment | Email this Single T Quilt Block Pattern There are many different types of traditional T quilt quilt blocks, but the Single T block variation is one of the quickest and easiest to make. The block is made up of half-square triangle units that come together to form a very visible T shape. At first glance the T block seems a little plain, but you can create all sorts of dramatic layouts with it by turning the blocks in different directions,.

Permalink | Comment | Email this Scrappy Framed Star Quilt Block Pattern The pattern for this Scrappy Framed Star quilt block was originally used to assemble the 2007 Anniversary Sampler quilt. The block finishes at 12" square, and looks nice when it's either straight-set or placed on-point. The design, with lots and lots of patches, is a perfect choice for your next scrap quilt.

Permalink | Comment | Email this Chariot Wheel Quilt Block Pattern This variation of the Chariot Wheel quilt block has a few small pieces, but they're all straight-sided -- you don't have to fool with triangles. We'll use strip piecing to assemble the majority of the block, so it should be quick and easy. One thing -- sewing an accurate quarter-inch seam is important to the success of this (and most other) quilt blocks. If you're not sure your seam is accurate, brush up on your skills before you begin.

Permalink | Comment | Email this Country Roads & Carolina Byways You can change the look of the Country Roads quilt by varying its fabrics and altering the block layout. The pattern also lets you choose the size that's best for your needs -- a miniature quilt with 3" finished blocks or a wallhanging with 6" blocks. The technique is simple, but a bit different, so make a sample block or two before you cut all of your fabric -- that's not a bad idea for any new quilt pattern you tackle. When you land on the pattern page, you might think the link is bad. The quilt on page 1 definitely looks different than the quilt shown here, but they're made from the same pattern.

You'll see those colors in Harvest Stars, a 72" x 96" quilt made from two different blocks. The way they are arranged makes it appear that the blocks are set on point, but they're actually sewn side by side (and that means you don't have to fool around with stretchy setting triangles).

Permalink | Comment | Email this Marina Blues Quilt Pattern Marina Blues is a 68-inch square quilt made with two different quilt blocks. It was inspired by a model home I toured many, many years ago -- all teals and blues and sea-greens, with a crystal clear blue-lined pool outside the back door -- a perfect match for the Florida beach town it sat in. That house has been stuck in my mind ever since, but the theme doesn't mesh with our home in the mountains. Here, I'm mostly drawn to the colors of ferns and stones, the darker greens and browns of pine tree needles and trunks -- earth colors rather than water colors. But I love the ocean, and its varied blues and greens keep coming back to mind. I might have to convert a bathroom to this theme, and let the ocean surround me.

Permalink | Comment | Email this In the Pinks Baby Quilt Pattern I suppose this baby quilt pattern could just as easily be called in the lavenders, but pinks is so much easier to say. The quilt is made from a combination of traditional Broken Dishes and Hour Glass quilt blocks. Blocks finish at 9-inches square and are suitable for quilters of any skill level. They're arranged on point, with setting and corner triangles filling in the jagged edges around the sides of the quilt. I added two borders, a narrow border first and then a wider outer border, but you can sew on as many as you like -- it's an easy way to alter dimensions.
