    My husband did the same thing for me several Christmases. Boy, I sure do miss him!

    Memo: To the wife of the perfect secrete Santa who got you gift cards from 5 LQS. I would like to offer a like new 42,000 mile burgundy 2005 Ford 150 quadcab 4x4 pickup in trade for your Santa. If you are not interested in trucks, make an offer. If you prefer to keep him and pass up a darn nice truck, enjoy and bless your heart.

    All of your stories are so sweet. A couple of years back I asked my husband to buy me a quilt kit for Christmas. I love quilt kits and I wanted to see what he would buy. I always buy for me, so it was fun to see what he would pick out. He went to my favorite LQS and they took him in hand. He gave me two! quilt kits.

    I was having some difficult times a little while ago. My husband came in one day with 2 quilt books and a layer cake! Bless his heart. It cheered me up. I've already made one quilt from one of the books.

    wish some little birdie would pass the info along to my husband. I have sewn quilted all the 39 years we been married and never has he even thought to go to the LQS which is 30 minutes away for gift cards. and no I wont give a hint,
    he thinks my sewing is unimportant.

    My DH is taking me to visit all of my sisters, all of my kids and all of my grandchildren this Christmas. I can't think of anything I would want more! I hope the gal in Jersey is tickled pink with her gift cards

    Wow! That is AWESOME!!
    At our LQS on Thursday I think it is....you get 10% off of gift certificates. Our shop does the 12 days of Quiltmas. HUGE sales!! A new sale every day and once it goes on sale it stays on sale to the last day before she closes the shop for the year. (she's closed from Christmas - New Year's).
