Congratulations, Miranda!!!

Thanks! I'm really excited about the machine. I just have to learn all of its tricks, now! I also have to get some embroidery thread in the colors I need for the Disney characters. (Mickey Mouse) :) I guess I can use the money I got from my MIL for Christmas to get some thread! I'll eventually have everything in the house embroidered! :P :D

If you have pets, they might want to keep an eye on you ...

YOU GO GIRL>>>>>>>>>

My daughter gave me a gift certificate for our local quilt shop. I spent it today plus more. I had a real good time!!

Mary in Louisiana :)

Mary, I bet you won't be able to use that fabric without thinking of your girl. Won't that be nice?

I was very lucky, I got a large bundle of 4" Hawaiian prints for Christmas. My daughter went to Hawaii in November. They are all different colors and designs, lots of surfers, airplanes and fish.

LOL! :twisted:

As I was reading this topic, the wealth of quilty goodies, I felt the need to share my blessings. Although there was no tree or presents as such, I did receive the most amazing gift. I was chosen to receive housecleaning and painting by a local christian teen group! The teens are all volunteers who along with adult chaperones, have helped to wash walls, discard things I no longer need or use and are now in the process of painting my townhouse. They have offered to turn my empty bedroom into a sewing room, so I can have more organization in my life. As I have physical limitations, you just can imagine how how appreciative I feel. :D

Boo, I think that is wonderful!! And kudos to those teens and their chaperones!
