Sewing Santa made a down payment on a Viking Sewing machine for a combined birthday and Christmas present. My bd is Jan 10. A good friend gave me a wall quilt for my bedroom that is more than lovely, such a dear. Those were my only quilty presents but they are fabulous ones. Quality counts!

The sewing Santa lives at my house. Whenever I drag a new old machine home, Santa pitches right in and refinishes treadle cabinets, installs wiring, and cleans machines for me. I buy the things that I want because no one can find anything that I need. :) :) Happy New Year to all!

We have had an extremely frugal Christmas with everyone severely restricted with money, my DH bought me a 12" square ruler which I have always wanted and some clips for keeping the quilt rolled while quilting. As a family we have really enjoyed each others company far more this year than any other year, and think we will probably have a frugal Christmas again next year too!! But your gift does sound brilliant!

I had the best non-quilting Christmas ever -- my Australian sister & brother in law came from Melbourne to spend Christmas with DH and I. I hadn't seen them in over 6 years, and it was such a lovely visit -- they boarded a plane to head to NY this morning and I'm very sad that they've left. But what a wonderful gift, to have had them here....they'd never been to the US before and are totally enjoying it. Tomorrow we head to Sacramento to have a late Christmas celebration with our children & grandchildren - am looking forward to that.

I didn't want a thing for Christmas, my dear husband bought me some scissors that I thought were pretty b;ut most of all, we were all fairly healthy, got to see the great grandchildren, Merry CHRISTmas at my house too. I did get a music box that looks like an old sewing machine. That WAS a surprise.

Sewing Santa came to visit me also, he left a Brother SE-400 sewing and embroidery machine under the tree. I am a newbie sewer and was using a Singer Scholastic which I like, but not as well as this machine.

Silly girl!! There's more than one quilt "built" on a serger. I turned to my serger when my Bernina went in for service and stayed and stayed and stayed. Put together a whole queen log cabin top while she was gone
My Longarmer said it was nothing new for her and said the serged quilts quilt up beautifully. Mine did!!

Hey congrat's! I would have been ecstatic to receive all those great gifts too!!! Lucky duck! ;) Santa brought me a Singer serger - not really a quilting gift but I love to make clothes for my daughters and bags and it's going to come in SO handy!! :)
