A nice gift certificate to Keepsake Quilting.
And I will buy a handmade seam ripper from our LQS.

Quilting mags and GC to JoAnns. And, some muscle milk to strengthen me so I can spend more time at the machine. :-)

Well, I bought myself a sewing machine before Thanksgiving, so that was it for me. :)

My DD and SIL gave me a lovely book on crazy quilting. It has a lot of information on integrating decorations, instructions for various embroidery stitches for embellishing the seams, and patterns for overall embroidery. There is a handbag plan I intend on using pretty soon.

The quilting around Christmas tended to be outgoing, instead of ingoing. My g'son got a heavy wool quilt......because he likes heavy quilts. My DD and SIL got the Jewelbox quilt I made last year, and the Vallejo Children's Home in Quadelupe, Mexico got my last quilt.

My brother got me a set of Amish quilt greeting cards that are blank inside, but have pictures of quilts on the outside. My mom got me a Quilt-In-A-Day's wooden iron for pressing out quilt block seams at my desk, she also got me plastic template sheets to make quilt patterns with, and 3 Elm Creek Quilts novels. My sister got me Elm Creek Quilts Sylvia's Bridal Sampler quilt book and a lot of WOW fabric for the background fabric for the quilt blocks. My son and DH got me some fabric and some fabric pens and a 6.5" x 24" quilt ruler. So I am all set to have some fun quilting in 2014.

Best to you and Happy New Year,
Sandra

Calliope, what's the name of the book?

All I ended up requesting was a holder for my cones I bought six months ago. I can't stand too many UFOs, so I didn't want to request any books that would drive me crazy wanting to start a new quilt. However, maybe Mother's Day and birthday in May will be incentive to get the UFO's done so I can request a book or two. LOL

My four kids got a kick out of their aprons and DD loved the Falling Charms quilt. She couldn't believe I made it in the two weeks before Christmas. Little does she know how easy it is.

I bought my own Christmas gift in late summer - a Janome Memory Craft for quilting. I did get the KitchenAid mixer I'd been wanting for years though! :) I can tell he's needing something expensive for his street rod project! LOL

I was surprised to also get a book of Japanese
Quilt blocks. DH also got me a 60 count thread holder wall hanger thingy...now to get it hung! It was a merry quilty Christmas!
