Just ordered "Stand-Alone Designer Software." Thanks for the info!! With the shipping added, it comes to about $20 which is a pretty affordable Christmas gift for myself. Yippeee!! Hope the software is easy to use as it looks in the video.

I must own a gazillion patterns between books, magazines, and plastic sleeve patterns. But, invariably, I end up doing my own thing, usually not following a pattern. I guess I just like to look at them. _ :hunf: _ I'm thinking this design software is going to get me out of some tight spots. _ :) _

Mrs. Santa never forgets me, always something I really need/want that only she seems to know about.

I love when EQ has a sale. The last sale I was able to pick up the block book, that has all the blocks in EQ6. I like to take the book to bed and go through the blocks etc and at half price, it's a deal.

I still like the flower head pins (for the lenght) even thought they are plasic flowers, they seem to withstand the heat a bit better but can melt.

And easier to see.

You were so naughty to post this! LOL I just ordered four stand alones from them.

I'm learning to do foundation piecing so I ordered The Town and Country, Precise Collection 1&2, 3 and 4. At these half prices I couldn't resists.

Seriously, thank you for posting this, I have been looking for patterns for foundation piecing.

Went to FL to the Elinore Burns Retreat and bought a Babylock serger; also found Macy's and bought a diamond pendant. Merry Christmas and Happy Birthday to me!
