Lynne in Iowa Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 The weather is turning, the decorating is starting and some people have even finished their shopping. (What's with that, I usually don't even get started until at least the 21st!) Santa is bringing me EQ7 this year. Any one know where to get it at a bargain? The Mac version to really complicate things. What would you like Santa to bring you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat C Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 Oooo ... have fun with the EQ7! Not sure where any bargains would be on that. I'd like a bigger quilting room but that's probably out of the question. I'm fortunate hubby doesn't mind I take up half the upper floor of this old farm house. Can't complain. At this point I'd just like harvest to be done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennlefore Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 I'm dreaming of a new Millie - I hope I win the drawing! I have an Ultimate I right now. Haven't used it much because it frustrates me with no SR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMALKB Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 BLISS !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffq-lar Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 A new camera. My Millie will be returning to the mother ship in January for a check-up so I'm excited to re-do the studio. A gift to myself will be new windows, paint, deep-cleaned carpet, new leaders, rearranging storage, and sorting out stuff to donate. I may be selling some design books and will be culling my old quilting magazines. And I'm thinking of turning the frame around in the room. Wheee--my life is nothing but excitement!!!

cherylannie Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 I really don't need or wish for anything for Christmas. I am blessed more than I deserve. If I could wish for one thing it would be the gift of time. More time to spend with my family and yes, more time to quilt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oma Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 My Bliss is coming in the spring. We can call it a Christmas gift since it is so expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shirleyl Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 Maybe new leaders, I'd settle for getting thru the holidays without any family blow ups. So not going to happen! Can I just skip it this year? Shirley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickenscratch Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 I'd like three things. 1. My kids and grandkids to all be here to visit. 2. An opportunity that would allow me to quit my teaching job. 3. More quilt customers to support wish #2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharond Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 Last year on Christmas day, our oldest daughter surprised me. She was living in Tarsus, Turkey where she was teaching school. Long story shortened.....I has been sick for almost two months with bronchitis and pneumonia, add on some news about your parents. So on Christmas day, while I helping our other daughter out with a baby quilt, the door bell rings. It was our oldest daughter who flew home to suprise me on Christmas. My husband and her boyfriend were in on the suprise, our son changed his work schedule so he could see his sister. Daughter #2 and her husband were also here. Best Christmas ever! So this year, I don't need any "things", life is great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RitaR Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 As Daniel McDonnell sings, "Let there be peace for today and tomorrow" and "When God Hears the nations singing "Let there be peace".

Corey Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 I do have an apprentice, a second apprentice, but I really teach her how to piece & quilt, provide fabrics & supplies. She helps me with my garden, organize my fabric room too. I do the cooking, someone is cleaning the house for me. Life is good & I thank the Lord for giving me the desires of my heart. The 1st apprentice graduated, won a 3rd prize ribbon on her quilt in a juried show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggienoella Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 I really would love to have the accuquilt studio cutter, but that can wait. I'm also blessed, I sometimes just need to s-l-o-w down enough to realize it. Love this thread and all the help I get from y'all. Joan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oma, that's exactly what I thought when I read that, too! And I have also wanted a wife for over 20 years, but I guess it's one spouse to a customer, and I already have a great husband.

GMALKB Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 For those getting Bliss............will someone come and install everything here at my home? Even though I live a few hours away from Carroll, Iowa, we are not able to manhandle the machine to get it shipped or delivered up there. Thinking if they came to install Bliss I would have them go over the machine at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking if they came to install Bliss I would have them go over the machine at the same time. That's a plan for sure! You'd have to make sure the person who installs the Bliss is also trained in handling the innards of your machine! Another thought might be---since they have to take off the head to replace the rails, how about you have them bring a box for the head and take it back to Iowa with them to be checked out? Be sure to make an appointment and OK it with the service staff, but that could work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMALKB Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 Oh yes........definitely would have a certified APQS installer take care of this. Maybe giving more serious though after the first of the year. I don't quilt near the number of hours that a lot of you do and my machine is running well, but maybe a quick look wouldn't hurt if they are here anyway.

mscott2611 Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 My wish for this Christmas is for my son to move back home which might seem silly but he is only 18. Other than that I feel bless to have a very supporting husband and a daughter who knows what she wants out of life and is working hard in college to get it. I have been getting more and more customers in my business so really other than my son coming home the only thing I could ask for would be to get enough customers that I could quit my "real" job and do my quilting profession that I love full time.
