Quilty Gifts

Ok quilters - what quilt related gifts did you get for the holidays?

I received a pair of gingher pinking shears. Makes me so happy! I've
wanted some forever and have always been to cheap to buy them for myself.

I also was given a box of aurifil thread. It's a nice assortment of
colors that will be fun to use in projects.

How about you?

Nothing quilty, unless you count the scraps of "Fairy Frost" fabric left
over from the dresses I sewed for the 3 granddaughters' American Girl
dolls. If I buy fabric for doll clothes, I like to buy quilting fabric,
so I can easily use the scraps. I did get a "nostepinne" -- a stick for
winding balls of yarn for knitting.

I didn't get any gifts, but I count my first grandchild's first Christmas as my quilty gift. Someone to quilt "for" counts, right??

Well, the 'new' house with a sewing room kind of my gift this year. Dh
says
take the sewing room and dining room and whatever else I want as far as he
is concerned. We did splurge and buy a bedroom set for the new place too.
Since it is bigger there will be some quilting needing to be done for that.
Maybe those count as quilt related gift if you stretch?

If new Ginghers won't make a quilting gal happy not much else will!
Decadent!

DD gave me a hand quilted Butterfly Table runner from a Craft Bazaar. It is
really pretty. And a dozen boxes of differently named Crayola Crayons that I
don't have yet. (Some of you may remember when I recieved a Tinned box set
of 64 Crayola Crayons from a now deceased RCTQ'er---story for another day
for the Newbies-----DD has been adding to my collection since )
And because I coudn't put up my Train set under the tree this year, SIL gave
me a large ceramic Train Engine (White with holly leaves and gold details
all over) Just gorgeous!

Also, a Food Landscapes Calendar (www.carlwarner.com) to keep me up-to-date

No quilty gifts here either (none on my list!) but two clamps (yes, from
the hardware store) to keep my inkle loom (recently recovered from my
parents attick now that I have BOUGHT MY OWN PLACE and have the space)
in place :-)

It sure does.

Happy Quilting for the new grandbaby.

Nothing quilty, but a set of 12 rainbow coloured crochet hooks in
various sizes........

2 pieces of fabric (not measured yet, but one green and the other
white/gold, 3 assorted quilty books - always interesting to read/look
at, and 49 reels or part reels of assorted cotton thread (SisinL
frequents thrift shops and over the years I must have accumulated every
shade of cotton thread from her). Got Amazon tokens too, so I can buy
books as 'needed' and some cash for quilty things Amazon don't stock!
