OH, do you really love your Confidence Quilter?? That is the one I'm contemplating getting for myself after Christmas is over.

Happy for you Jeanne! I know you're excited! Nice hubby.

He knows that I have been saying for months that I am going buy myself a new sewing machine in the spring when I have enough money saved for the one that I want. So jokingly I said okay...if you buy me exactly what I want and he asked...what would that be? I said a Janome 6600 sewing machine and the cost is $1,000.+

He laughed and said...exchanging gifts NEXT year sounds fine with me. LOL

That is so funny! Do you think he might go ahead and get it and surprise you?? We'll all keep our fingers crossed.

Chances are...no. He just bought me this new laptop back in February when my PC's hard drive bit the dust. Had a problem with it after less than 3 months so took it back to Best Buy...bought the extended warranty originally so everything was covered when they sent it back to HP. But...it took forever so...he bought me a Netbook at Office Max to tie me over till I got THIS back from HP. Well over $1,000. for both of them so I don't think he's going to buy it for me. But everyone CAN keep their fingers crossed because...IF on Christmas Day I WOULD get the machine I'll probably be in the ER after suffering a heart attack from the shock and excitement. lol

I hope everyone who has a new machine on their list for Santa gets what they want. And Jeanne...I don't know HOW you are going to manage the next month knowing that machine is sitting in your home and you can't use it. I'd make little hints like...this old machine is giving me fits and I'm thinking about going shopping and buying another machine next week. I'm sneaky like that...maybe you aren't though.

I am so happy for you. Your story reminds me of my first Christmas after getting married (46 years ago). I only had my grandmother's treadle and it wasn't in great condition. I wanted a new machine so bad. It was my father-in-law that told my husband to buy me a machine. My mother-in-law never sewed but dear old Pop-pa (RIP) knew how much I loved to sew. I got the machine and my hubby still looks for the old ones for me to fix up and play with. He's a dear about things like that..... thanks to his dad.

Enjoy that machine..... and that great hubby.
