I'd like my own wife, so SHE could do the cooking, cleaning, laundry, chauffeuring, grocery shopping, etc. instead of me. I told my husband this and he got a sparkle in his eye and a smile on his face. I told him NO WAY, she was gonna be MY wife and I was NOT going to share!

My idea exactly. Or perhaps a gift certificate to a LA quilter so at least one would get done..binding is no problem; I love binding. Also loved hemming garments.

Wool batting, more fabric and a pattern or two. I have my eye on A Place for Everything.

Fabric ,cotton thread and lots of batting. So I don't have to run out every time I have a new project. Can always stuff more into my closets!

I want a set of BlocLoc Rulers. I know they are a more expensive quilting tool so this would be a wonderful surprise under the tree. The girls in our quilt group have them and they help so much with keeping the ruler straight. I hope santa hears me.

I have nothing on my list; primarily because I just purchase what I want or need. My sewing room is very well stocked. I could use a larger room, but that just is not possible at this time. So, I guess the only thing I need is: patience.

An acrylic extension table for my old PC420PRW. My new one is sunk in a table which is great! But my old one stopped feeding fabric and would have cost more to repair than a new one. So I took out the feed dogs and part of the auto thread cutter that had also become a problem and now it does a great job at FMQ. It’s way lighter than my main quilter and as a bonus I can use the zigzag and some of the programmed pattern stitches to FMQ! So it’d be great for taking to group sew days when I just want to FMQ.

I'd like a 3 day quilt retreat and the dishes done and house in order when I get back home from it.

I've been drooling over the Scan N Cut too! Once you've had a chance to use it please let us know how you like it. Especially if you use it for cutting quilt block pieces!
