I am so fortunate to have lovely friends and a wonderful family. I received some fantastic gifts for Christmas.
The first gifts I received were at the guild’s December Sew Day an d Winter Extravaganza. Tim and Christine came with gifts for me ( and others!).
Tim made the pouch on the left. I am using it for paperwork in my car. On the left are project bags, which I can always use! Coincidentally, they are in my favorite colors.
I received a lot of gifts from family. It was an embarrassment of riches! I am so grateful that people thought of me this holiday season. The photo shows all the gifts I received not just sewing/quiltmaking gifts.
I am pleased to have gotten a Mary Engelbreit (Engeldark) calendar. I love getting a Mary Engelbreit calendar every year and hang it in my workroom where I see it multiple times a day. I also received a fresh supply of journals, so I don’t need to buy any this year. It will definitely be a hardship as I am always tempted. LOL!
The sewing/quiltmaking gifts I received are awesome. In addition to the ones above I was gifted some very useful items.
I have already found a bag I want to make in Make 100 Bags**.
Rotary blades are always welcome. I use the hot ruler (left) in my workroom all the time, but now have one for my travel bag, which will be great.
Lots of good stuff.
I have wanted a wagon from Natural Life since I saw Amy’s at Sew Day in June. My mom got me one! I am excited to use it the next time I bring my sewing machine to Sew Day.
My dad also bought me a smaller wagon in plain blue. I am sure I can figure out how to use two of them.
I also received some things from Julie, including the fabulous Advent calendar. The other thing I really like is the box of postcards she gave me. The color and pattern are really fun.
I am so grateful for my friends and family.
