For me, happiness is realizing I've not only reached my goals for this year, but surpassed them with my quilting! We just got back from NH with family where I taught my DGD to sew hair scrunchies & she's so thrilled that we're sending her a sewing machine, thread, rulers, a rotary cutter with extra blades and a cutting mat! It's her Christmas present. I was thrilled to be able to get her so excited about sewing!! Wish she lived closer to me! Plus I was able to inspire a few others who saw my work. :-)

...the gift of being able to sew just about anything I want, thanks Mom!
...a friend who understands my quilting addiction, thanks Pat!
...finding that friend has more of an OOP fabric that I only needed a 1/2 yard more of in order to finish my masterpiece
...a hubby who's my biggest fan even though he does NOT understand my addiction, thanks Chuck!
