I gifted myself a Pfaff Passport 2.0 while they are on sale. My main machine is a Brother Dreamweaver, which I love, but I wanted a high quality portable/backup machine. Reviews of the Passport have been so good, plus that IDT system hooked me

I just got my new Husquvarna this Oct, but they had to order the extension table and they offered me my choice of quarter inch feet. I had not been able to pick it up so DH went and also added the Walking foot to my stocking for me.
=)) sooo Happy! I can't wait to get some time to take my classes on it. I have to get it up and going soon. My old machine has been down for a while.

My amazingly wonderful Santa Husband built me a most beautiful cutting station. Storage cubbies on both sides, hanging ruler storage and an extension that folds down when I don't need a huge cutting surface. Also a self healing Gingher cutting mat. I love it!!! DS & DDIL gave me a Joanns GC and younger DS gave me a stress floor mat for in front of my cutting & ironing stations. GCs from bosses and students for LQS purchases :-) joining the shopping ranks!

One of my bosses always gives me a birthday gift, so I purchased the #55 leather foot (of course, I waited until the accessories were on sale). For Christmas, my son's family gave me a GC to the LQS. With that and the gifts my bosses gave me, I will be able to get 3 other feet (couching, FM couching and pintucks) and have enough left over to pay for a retreat I am planning to attend in April.

I'm my own santa- I got the scallop template for edges and a new Ott light for my sewing corner. I buy myself anything I ever want/ need as it is... It sure would be nice to get quilty gifts, though...
My Mom MADE me a great carrier for a 9x13 cake pan. I love it and we've used it twice talking meals to the hospital visiting!!

Friends were kind enough to give me some beautiful fabric for Christmas. One quilty friend made me a lovely set of 4 place mats with a matching table runner in holiday print. My after Christmas gift to myself was placing an order with Connecting Threads, taking advantage of some great sale prices.
