Did you gift anything quilty to yourself?

I was gifted with a new, updated sewing machine, but I can't tell you what it is because part of the deal is that I have to pick it out myself. This will be the first sewing machine I've had a chance to choose. Up until now, I used my mother's sewing machine until it died; and then my Great Aunt died and left me her machine, and I've since inherited two more machines, only 1 of which is still working. I'm going to take my time searching for this Beauty of a Christmas present! I want to try out virtually every brand on the market before I make a "final decision". Yeah!

Since I don't need fabric, machines or gadgets I put a really, really nice watch on layaway. It's expensive enough that it'll take most of my first tax season, part time job paycheck to pay for it!

I went to my LQS and signed up for a class. My hubby has been bugging me to get out of the house and meet people. I told him what I wanted, the look on his face alone told me I should go get it myself and then let him know what a wonderful thoughtful husband he was lol.

I asked for GC's from fabric stores last year and was heard. They were wonderful. We haven't had our Family Christmas this year yet--will be on the 28th--but I repeated the request and hope to get more.
My DH gifted me with a Kobo Arc yesterday. He said he was a bit worried that I would be intimidated with all its features and promised that he would not get annoyed when I asked him for the 10th time, how to do something he just showed me yesterday. This is a little reader that doubles as a tablet. I can access the internet, download patterns, magazines as well as books to it, watch tutes on youtube on it......oh my oh my!! I've already downloaded the newest Fons and Porter mag and it works a treat!
Oh and I always manage to find some 'small' gift to give to my sewing room.

I did some on-line shopping and when things arrived my DH wrapped them. I got just what I wanted--a rotating cutting mat, small loc-block ruler, a jelly roll, 2 charm packs and a new pair of 5" scissors. Also got 2 new quilting books, because I think I have a bigger obsession with books than fabric!
Merry Christmas and Happy sewing in 2014 everyone!
