When my husband asked was is On my quilting wish list, I told him I would like a variety of marking implements, chalk pencils, silver lead, markers, etc. My husband just raised his eyebrows, and said go for it. I spent black friday on the Joann's site, 50% off notions, and I had fun. a box of "stuff" is heading my way, He will have fun wrapping all the "things" I bought. We both have everything we need ( we are lucky), and our wants are specific and not grand (except for a longarm for me, a car restoration for him), I rather get quilting notions than a vaccuum!!
