Since your husband has been such a big help with your sewing room, how about taking him out for a really nice dinner.
Or just save the card - they don't expire - and wait until something comes along that you can't live without.

Well, how about that quilt kit that you always wanted to do but didn't have the money to spend?

I agree, a cool kit would be my choice.

I've got a Bernina 440QE with the medium and large hoops, lots of thread, plenty of fabric and a pimped out sewing room. But can't decide how to spend my $$.

Need some suggestions please!!!

I would definitely purchase a serger. Have wanted one for so long but don't have the money for one.

You can send it to me so that I can buy a nice heater for my cold basement sewing room! LOL!!!

Do you have the large size rotating cutting mat? I lust after one of those. LOL. Or how about stocking in a couple of those luscious fabric collections they put together these days and you buy as a unit all co-ordinated? I especially love the batik ones. I never buy precuts because they are too expensive, but with a gift like that I might even indulge myself in a stack of precuts.

ummm that is a question that needs some thinking about !!!! to much to decide on what i want first

I agree with DMotyl, a quilting weekend to meet new friends and learn a new technique. It seems that you have everything you want right at hand, so a quilting adventure may be a great idea!!!
Or find a Featherweight with a date that is meaningful to you.

I guess it sounds like you have everything you need or want so I'd suggest signing up for a quilting weekend get-away either with a friend or not...You will make new friends, have dedicated time to your hobby, and maybe even learn something new that you had not thought of before....

don't know about the money, but I'd sure like to see the pimped out sewing room!!

I am like everyone else I would love to see a picture of your sewing room. I have a sewing room but it is filled to the max no room to turn around for all the things I have in there. But if I had $250 to spend I would still be able to find some more fabric I would want to make a quilt out of. Good luck on figuring out what you want to purchase and let us all know what you end up doing. You know as I was finishing up typing I was thinking of my running around quilting buddies I think if I extra money and didn't need or want something for my quilting I would take all of them out to eat. Just a thought :0)
