Mercedes Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 OK Ladies & Gentlemen, Did anyone get any wonderful sewing items for Christmas? Did your DH or family make a "hit" by getting you that perfect sewing item? Let's share since I love to not only give gifts but hear how others received just that wonderful gift from that special someone who cares.....Mercedes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffq-lar Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 Hi Mercedes--we did a simultaneous posting on the same subject!!! Separated at birth, perhaps? My Guild small group had a gift exchange early in December and we had a great time--lots of small sewing gifts--pins, scissors fobs, FQs, etc. DS gave a Gift certificate to my LQS. Den is getting me news wheels for my Milli. He also made me a deluxe batting holder/bar. I gave my best quilting buddy an all-day quilt adventure. She doesn't drive so I am transporting her to her favorite quilt shop with cash to spend and a nice lunch. This is a gift for me as well--I get to spend time with my friend, get a great meal, and also buy fabric!! Talk about win/win!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandra Darlington Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 I got two gift certificates to my LQS. Yippee! Also, for my Polyanna at Quilt Guild, I received a Fons & Porter white marking pencil. It seems to work great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercedes Posted December 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 Linda, Wow, sounds like you had a great Christmas and to have a DH talented enough to make the batting bar holder - lucky you! You and your friend will have so much fun - what a great gift. Sandra, Aren't gift certificates wonderful - you can get exactly what you want!

KathG Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 I got two Secret Santa gifts from the British quilters List I belong too. We could choose to make or buy a small gift, or do both. My made gift was a lovely apron and a note book with some 6x6 quilt squares made into flowers. My bought gift was a quilt pattern and some thread and a selection of 6x6 fabric squares. My DS also has given me some pennies for Christmas in lieu of buying some new boards from R & S designs when their Janauary sale starts. Here is the link of the ones I am getting. I think they are lovely. I think my DS is lovely too. http://www.urbanelementz.com/shop/product/winter-wonderland/ Oops posted the wrong link.

Tracy G Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 Kath, Great minds think alike. I spotted this the other day and I too am waiting to see if they have a January sale. Will be in touch soon about the visit to Linzis Hope you had a good Xmas. Tracy G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmwife Darlene Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 Look at what my DD made for me! I'm going to hang it in my sewing corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victoriasews Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 I got a Wacom Bamboo tablet so now I can audition quilt designs before actually quilting. Before, I took a picture, printed it, put it in a plastic sleeve, then drew with marker. DH thought the tablet would be a better way. I was totally surprised. It's backordered so only got a picture but I'm really looking forward to trying it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quiltinginthecountry Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 Okay, here I go. I got the Pajama quilter reloaded. Absolutely great for a newbie (me). Have been practicing for the last 48 hrs and by golly the flowers are starting to look like....."flowers". I got some templates and (2) Pam Clark stencils. My hubby made me a pretty little table which sits on top of my pickup and quilt top roller. I can watch my quilt video's while I practice. Cool....cool.....cool...........

CindyT Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 DH made me a lighting system for my LA. Now I can quilt when the sun isn't shining! I also got a portable air tank (no more cans of air for me), templates, scissors, pins and magnetic pin holder (one can never have too many). I am very blessed.
