Valentine Gifts--who got sewing gifts
 

who got sewing gifts?
I got a gift card for $25. May 1st, i'm starting a storm at sea quilt.

Oooh...nice gift! No sewing gifts but my DH still spoiled me with flowers and candy (which he is eating most of). I had to look up that pattern. Wow! That looks challenging. What colors are you planning? I favor the color wheel but that blue and deep purple one I saw is stunning and really looks like a storm at sea.

After 44 years of marriage we just do cards and go out to dinner before or after the 14th. (This year my DH did give me a little M&M heart with peanut M&M's in it. He loves to separate M&M's before he eats them - so he thought it was so cool to have them already separated. I did go to Joann's on the 14th to look for a White on White with hearts - could not find the fabric anywhere on line so thought maybe - just maybe Joann's might have it.

I got a couple of Bonnie Hunter's books from my hubby! :) He had a little coaching of course!

My DH bought a beautiful sewing basket that I can use by my TV chair in the family room. It's roomy enough to hold everything I need for my applique handwork.

We celebrate my oldest son's birthday, Valentines Day, my birthday, wedding anniversary, and my husbands birthday all in February. I explained to my husband that while I love his romantic gesture of two dozen roses for Valentines Day that I would rather have something that last for years. This year he bought be a new Janome 1600P to quilt with. I told him there is now nothing I need or want for my birthday or anniversary. He was happy with that!! Love that man :)

I didn't get any, but I sent my friend a little package of my favorite quilt notions; a Purple Thang, a measuring gauge ( a little square aluminum item with 1/4" to 1 3/8" sections around it), a pink pin that said "Sew Sweet" in a heart and a spool of cream Aurifil #50. Each item was wrapped in red tissue paper and there was a small bag of chocolate hearts and candy kisses.

No sewing things but we decided to buy something for both of us that we would enjoy.

My husband took me out for breakfast and for supper on the same day!

so glad to hear a lot of you got sewing gifts. I found out my dh has a store next to him that sells gift cards. joanns! so he can run over any time he wants to buy me something.
