I am so appreciative of how generous people were to me for the Christmas holidays. You saw the gifts I made. I was equally bestowed with beautiful items.<\/p>\n

\"Gifts<\/a>
Gifts from Carrie and SueG<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I received these lovely things when we went out to our, now annual, I think, Holiday Lunch.<\/p>\n

Carrie made the scissor cozy and I have been using it a lot. It is perfect for my To Go bag. I can always find a sharp pair of fabric scissor a convenient pair of paper (and other non-fabric) scissors. Additionally, the non-fabric scissors are turquoise! That is a totally added bonus.<\/p>\n

\"Scissor<\/a>
Scissor Cozy from Carrie – detail<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I have several pair of my own scissors, but the new Ginghers fit nicely into the cozy. I might need to make some of those cozies. I also have to get Carrie to show me her KamSnap technique. That KamSnap is securely attached to the fabric in a way I have never been able to achieve with my KamSnap device<\/a>**. I prefer the SnapSetter. However, since I have the thing, I want to be able to use it. Carrie doesn’t know it yet, but she and I are going to have session at some point.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Tilda<\/a>

SueG also gave some lovely things. One is a fat quarter pack of Tilda fabrics. I always look at these fabrics, but never buy them. This little pack is a nice treat. I like the colors a lot. No, I don’t know yet what I will do them, but bag linings keep flashing into my mind. This is a ridiculous notion as you know I like my bag linings to be light colored. We’ll see.<\/p>\n

\"Gifts<\/a>
Gifts from Gerre – tea towels, ornament<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I received a small package a few days before Christmas from Gerre who sent me the most adorable ornament as well as two tea towels.<\/p>\n

The tea towels fit with the color scheme of my kitchen and I like the design. They look slightly in the Pennsylvania Dutch style. I like the simple design and by simple I mean that there is only one design on each towel.<\/p>\n

\"Gifts<\/a>
Gifts from Cyndi – 2023<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I received a fat quarter and a ironing ruler as well. This is something that I can really use as many bag patterns say to iron a seam over by a certain measurement.<\/p>\n

I don’t think I knew this type of tool existed, but I am certainly happy with it.<\/p>\n

The fat quarter is a print that is one of my favorites. I love those large poppies. I might use it to make a Hackney<\/a> for myself. I used it for an Andalusian pouch<\/a> for Megan. I don’t need more fabric, but I can always use it. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

\"Christmas<\/a>
Christmas quilt related gifts<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

DH and I only bought a few gifts for each other, because we bought a couple of large gifts for the house recently.<\/p>\n

I actually received two of the Scrappiness is Happiness<\/a>** books. I think I will finally have enough WonderClips<\/a>**! I still haven’t received my order of rotary blades from LP Sharp. There was a problem with my order, so I am glad to have received a new replacement pack of 45mm blades<\/a>**.<\/p>\n

\"Christmas<\/a>
Christmas 2023 gifts from Julie<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Finally, Friend Julie and I had our annual NYE dinner where we exchanged Christmas gifts.<\/p>\n

She was reading my mind. I really wanted the Sew Tites EPP Palette and she got me one. I can’t wait to try it out!<\/p>\n

The foot pedal mat is already in use. For the first time in YEARS, my sewing machine foot pedal is staying put.<\/p>\n

I also really want to read about how the New Deal affected quiltmaking, so A New Deal for Quilts<\/a>** is a welcome addition to my library.<\/p>\n

\"Gifts<\/a>
Gifts from Amanda<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Last but not at all least is a gift from Amanda. I know the pie cookbook isn’t exactly quilt related, but quiltmaking goes so much better with pie. The fabric is wonderful and I have to think of something awesome to do with it.<\/p>\n

I feel so fortunate to have such lovely family and friends give me such lovely gifts.<\/p>\n
