    Mine got me a spool holder for the door of my Featherweight cabinet, he hasn't seen it yet but told him about it. He loves me soooo much. Just what I wanted, waiting patiently for it to arrive in the mail on or about the 28th.

    My oldest son and DDL got me the rocking chair I had been wanting and son #5 showed up with a Mint robot cleaner. I had been wanting both and was very happy to get them. The rest of the kids call to let me know they were all right and safe at home. I have already put the Mint to work. I named him Gilroy, because you can really tell when "Gliroy way here." LOL Hope everyone had a great Christmas and ..Everyone have a wonderful New Year.

    My husband & I do not buy each other Christmas presents. We donate to the Salvation Army. We get one large item, usually for the house. This year we go a new mattess & box springs, which was badly needed, for our bed. We get gift cards or checks for the children/grandchildren.

    We are so blessed with material things that we want to bless others at this time of the year and all year long.

    I don't have a hubby anymore, which is good. Last yr for Christmas I bought myself a Viking Ruby and loved the past yr learning to embroider on it. This yr I traded it in for a Diamond Deluxe; I was better to me than my ex would have been. Oh yeah, for my birthday I treated myself to the 5D Pro software. I am so worth it. Merry Christmas to all and may you all get what you want or at least have the money (or credit) to buy it yourself.

    My husband totally surprised with me an antique sewing machine that I've been searching for! He also got me a jumbo hoop for my Bernina. Our children gave me numerous gift certificates to my favorite quilt shop so it was a wonderful 'quilty' Christmas but best of, all of our children except our oldest daughter were able to share the special day with us.

    SantaMe ordered a Brother PQ1500S, (deciding for sure) after reading so many raves about it on another thread.
    After much UPS-induced stress on Christmas Eve, it was finally delivered minutes before we had somewhere to be.

    We got her out of the box yesterday, I plugged her in, threaded her up, and tried her out. She sews like a dream.
    HO HO HO!

    Hello! Just joined the forum and am so excited to find you all!
    I just ordered my Christmas present from my husband. We were going to not exchange gifts because we had a big car repair earlier this month, but then on Christmas Eve decided we really deserved gifts because we had been very good this year! So he told me to go ahead and order the Juki TL-2010Q that I have been drooling over all year! Love that man!
    Also got gift cards to Joann as well as two LQS! Cannot wait to have a day off to go shopping.

    A standing Ott light to use when I sit on the couch at night and do my quilting.

    I got gift cards to Joann's and Barnes and Noble and a couple of books. My big gift (photo attached) I got about 6 weeks ago. Eleven beautiful acres! Plan for the next 2 years is to fix up the place, sell the house in the suburbs and move. I'll finally have a sewing room!

    My DH and I bought our own gifts this year. He bought a Razr (4-wheeler) earlier in the year and I bought a Horizon 7700. Our children bought him a canopy for his tractor. They got me a rolling bag, needles, open toe accufeed foot, and quilt in the ditch foot for my 7700. I believe that we made out like fat cats this year!
