This sounds horrible but I would love for Santa to find DH a part time job. He decided to retire about 3 months ago and I was definitely not ready to have him round the house 24/7. He keeps trying to be helpful--which I appreciate--but usually ends up either getting in my way and making me feel guilty for being frustrated with his 'help'. Ok whining finished. I had to look up Needle Nannies. Interesting. |
For a rotating mat can I recommend a "Matilda". I think mine came from Amazon and it's the best one I've ever had and I've owned 3 different ones. It spins freely as a Lazy Susan would. Can't square up quilt blocks without it.

I'd like the cleaning fairy to clean and straighten out my sewing room. It's one of the bigger bedrooms. Just so much STUFF that I can't walk around, or even scoot my rolling chair to my design board! Too many boxes of fabric, projects and scraps. Things piled high. And an inch of dust.

I had to really think hard on something to 'need' for visiting Missouri Star Quilt in Hamilton Mo. What I'd written on my sticky note was Tula Pinks crazy quilt ruler. They couldn't find one anywhere but one of the ladies said MSQC has one. Oh gosh even better. I bought it without looking at it, and I absolutely hate it.
And Tula Pink doesn't have one, she used the EZ brand one i think, looking more closely at her quilt Be careful what you wish for, you might get it :) |

I guess I already fulfilled my wish list yesterday at an estate sale. I got a 1948 Featherweight with the "card table"..the machine and case are pristine! so much so that it looks as if it's never been out of the case, and for some readon, included 2 foot controls. $200.00 for all. Thank you, Santa--I must have been a very good girl this year (so far!)

The creative grids Scrap Crazy 6 template set is on my wish list. I see it listing at about $26 in the US but way beyond what I am willing to pay in Canada.

I bought a Matilda rotating mat this year and love it! I had one of the square Olfa's and my new one works a lot better for me.
|
Would be nice but I just can't justify the cost! I do a lot of 6" blocks so have cut an old mat to an 8" square and just turn it.

I have seen elanore burns use a ruler that has multiple slots for cutting strips. She cuts in a quarter of the time I take, so I am thinking of looking up what that ruler is, and buying one. Time saved during the cutting process is a big plus to my old knees.
