\"Happy<\/a>
Happy Birthday<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

My birthday was last week and I received A LOT of gifts. It was so nice of everyone to think of me again.<\/p>\n

\"Modern<\/a>
Modern Handmade Purchases – January 2021<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I also got to go and use a gift card I received in December at Modern Handmade<\/a>. I haven’t been to a quilt shop in ages and that one is definitely a favorite.<\/p>\n

\"2021<\/a>
2021 Gifts from Julie<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Friend Julie<\/a> met me there. While we were waiting for the shop to open, Julie gave me a large bag of gifts, which included a Mini Oliso iron and Mini Maker Case<\/a>!!<\/p>\n

She always knows what to get for me. I love the Mini Maker Case, but I am also really excited about the The Elements of Color<\/a>** book. Johannes Itten is a master of color. I use his color wheel, called the Color Star<\/a>**, all the time<\/p>\n

In the evening, my mom came over and brought a cake (made from the wonderful Alternative Baker<\/a>** cookbook) along with some of my favorite Jamoca Almond Fudge ice cream. It was great to see her and my stepdad. I don’t get to see them enough with this COVID thing going on. It was great to be able to have a little visit.<\/p>\n

\"10"<\/a>
10″ Clammy<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I got two other gifts after I wrote this post. I want all the gifts to be in one post. I received the 10 inch Clammy<\/a>**, which means I have a full set. I still have to try them out. After reading the directions, I am pretty excited about trying it. I have long wanted to piece circles into a background. I took a class a long time<\/a> ago, but I think the Clammy method might be less fiddly. What I also need for my birthday is a quilt patron: someone who will pay me a salary and I can just sew to my heart’s content. A girl can dream, right?<\/p>\n

\"Martelli<\/a>
Martelli rotating mat<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I have a rotating cutting mat, but I don’t really like it because it is square. I frequently get hit in the stomach by one of the corners. It’s not like I get injured or anything, but it is annoying. This new rotating mat<\/a>**, from my darling YM, is round. I don’t get hit in the stomach, which I like, and I have been trying it out with some of the shapes I am teaching my students lately.<\/p>\n
