Believe it or not I have everything I need or want. I asked for a serger book. Can't think of another thing. Have a large and small janome sewing machine plus my featherweight. Don't want a long arm or Accucutter. Just got a sewing cabinet that I love. I'm content.

I am simply asking for new sewing scissors (Ginghers left-handed) and a book by Anita Grossman Solomon. I have everthing else I need. Not interested in long arms or cutting systems or new rooms or more machines.
However, that maid thing would be great and so would more time.

Well this year I don't have a list due to unexpected life changes but I know that my daughter who has little money will insist on me giving her ideas for a present. She gets really upset when I tell her the traditional "don't worry about me" that really sets her off. I'm going to tell her (since she will demand an idea) to do a gift card for one LQS that I go to for embroidery thread. I've just started embroidering with my new Ruby and it's hard to imagine how much I've spent on thread so far. I just made a navtivity sceen for her and it took so many colors which some I switched out for something close to avoid buying more. I did the free standing lace with the serger thread that is over 10yrs old, it is still strong and the lace holds up better than the rayon for it. I like the look of the rayon on things so I'll keep on stocking up on it. If I can afford (barely) for the Ruby then I should spend the money on the rayon and save it in other areas where I can. It's so much fun to do. Now I'm starting a tree skirt for my daughter and it has the Christmas train embroidered around on it and I'll put thier names on it as well. I figure if I don't make a list I won't be disappointed when I don't get something. If I could have anything it would be to get my daugher's stash built up to give her encouragement to work on her quilting; she needs a stash and a sewing room since she has 2 small kids. I love the holidays.

Dear Santa, I have been almost good this year and I promise to try harder next year. I would like a design program (EQ 7). If we are really only wishing I would like a longer studio and the maid to be able to spend more time quilting. But I will settle for anything quilting.
