The Young Man came through for me. I want to make the quilt I saw, perhaps in turquoise and red? Perhaps 2015 will be year of the turquoise and red? It isn&#8217;t as though I have a shortage of those colors of fabrics. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p>The fabric in the upper left hand corner is some solids from American Made Brands. My mom found those and I am really pleased to have a few pieces with which to play.<\/p>\n<p>DH got me some Kindle books from the Angela Walters machine quilting series. I will never be a serious machine quilter, but I got a glimpse of those books and think they will be really useful in my endeavors. I took over the Young Man&#8217;s iPad 2 (upgrade from my iPad 1 after he got an iPad Air for his birthday) and have been slowly reinstalling my apps including the Kindle app.<\/p>\n<p>DH thought the rotary cutter was cool and thought to get some refill blades (always useful!) as well. The nice stiletto was in my stocking and I have been using it instead of my seam ripper, which I always used to push patches through my machine when corners were flipping the wrong way.<\/p>\n<p>Mrs. K had good and interesting results with the Cutting Corners ruler, so I thought I would try it as well. I&#8217;ll let you know how that goes.<\/p>\n<p>I feel very fortunate. Thanks, everyone!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I got a nice group of quilt\/sewing related gifts for Christmas this year. It was also the right amount of stuff.
