Christmas List Items

Hard to believe but it is that time of year again. I was hoping a new month would pop up between November and December.No such luck I quess! Hubby is asking for my list and its not ready. I know I want an extension for my machine and one of the cutter's edge for helping to hold that ruler straight. If you don't mind sharing, what is on you list as "must haves" and "would be nice" to have. I was thinking of quilting items, but if its a new sports car that is OK too. DH likes to fill my stocking with craft stuff. Seen any new little gadgets?

I wish my husband asked for my list! Lucky you.

I don't think my dh and I will exchange gifts again this year. I am beginning to get used to it. I would much rather spend the $$ on my two youngest and a little bit of something for the grand kids. Have 3 of the grand kids gotten and a small start for my daughter but still lots to go.

I am always open to a gift certificate from Missouri Star. But because I spend too much money on my craft what I really need is some new bed sheets and some new socks.

Of course a brand new camaro would be really awesome

But my most favorite gift to ask for is to have my little family all together which is always hard to do. We are all in Florida but schedules just dont always line up

My DD asked what I wanted, and I said, fabric or a gift card. She said, no, really you have enough. She doesn't get it.

Carolyn,
If you are an embroidery girl, are there any fun colors of threads you need or want, I recently bought the crazy quilt templates and they are fun. Mechanical marking pencils and lead, new blades for rotary cutters, charm packs. Other little notions too can be fun to find in the stockings. Have fun coming up with fun stocking stuffs. hope these ideas help.;)

I had a '69, '79, and, not to break tradition, my daughter had an '89.

I had my '89 for twelve years, cried like a baby when it went away.

On my dream list is a cleaning service!

Carolyn, sorry for your loss. My DD's was destroyed in 2007 in a parking lot smash-up. All of the Camaros were red, and met ugly ends. I'd get another one as a mid-life crisis car, but I need something that will haul stuff and granddaughter.

Hi, on my wish list is pandora beads. As far as the camaro is concerned, we have 1 sitting in the driveway and 1 in my space in the garage that are project cars 81 & 85 and my husband wants to get a corvette (not a new one). Oh, and a cleaning service would be awesome and while we're at it a cook too

Wow how cool. My budget is just not ready for that monthly payment so I am trying to save a bundle to put down. Do you still have one

I'm a Mustang girl myself

Let's see
Ms* gift card
More basting pins
Electric rotary blade sharpener ( have one, love it)
Disappearing markers
Subscription to a quilting magazine
Camaro ( snazzy color of course!)

Can I get a cleaning service too?! :D. I have the Creative grid 6 x 24 ruler, basting spray, shape cut ruler, machine needles.....on my list.

I was just trying to put together a wish list when I saw your post!

Oh, don't misunderstand, these were purchased as OLD cars, not as antiques. I got the '69 in '76.

My wish list would include the new and final Quilting Quickly for my stocking, and the great big 40 yard roll of Warm and Natural. (I can even be fine with an I.O.U. to wait until its half price.) But, I'm not really holding my breath, just . . . wishin

I only want 1 thing for Christmas but, I already know I'm not going to get it. My DD and SIL live in Missouri, I miss them soooo much. The holidays just aren't the same with out them. They can't leave their jobs. I'm praying that Santa hears me and I will wake up and Christmas morning and when I go open my vertical blinds, they will be outside holding a big red bow. :)

Miss Sheri, can you not find the magazine there? If not there are some at my LQS and I would gladly pick one up for you.

Mary, you are a doll. No, I haven't seen it here yet, but I'm guessing it will be available in the M*Quilt Shop soon, (It actually could already be there, I haven't had a chance to browse for a few days) I'm pretty sure I will be able to find a copy of that, . . . It's the BIG $$$$ Item that I'm not holding my breath on. . . but a girl can dream, right?

same here!!!

We usually don't exchange gifts. But if he asked me I would tell him:
Blake Shelton CD
Pajamas....always pajamas..I'm a pajama-a-holic.

But I will be happy with anything. Having a new thermostat on the furnace, the leaky bathtub faucet fixed, a nice supply of wood for the wood stove and just having him home again will be great.

I love the Seam-Fix ripper. It's the one with the rubber tips for removing the little cut threads. Sewbizzy sent me one last year for Christmas. Rotary blades are always a hit with me - a quilter always needs thread and Connecting Threads has some beautiful thread collections - a gift card from M* would be fun.

Real honest to goodness beginner quilting lessons are on my list. There is a local quilt shop nearby that doesn't really seem to cater to the newbies, and the not-so-local, but still doable quilt shop only has classes during the day! Some of us quilter-wannabe's are still doing the 9-5 thing for a while. LOL

Jenny tutorials are great - and I've even taken a couple of the Craftsy classes, but there is nothing like actually being in a room with someone AS you're screwing something up - that can tell you right then what you did and how to correct it.

No Christmas gifts this year but that is okay with us. We just bought a house out of state (3 hours from our current home) and are focusing on making it "ours". We have lots to do until we get moved in in January!!!

A new apartment for my "boomerang" children would be lovely! :D

Yes! Yes! Yes! Now to fida ery enerous Santa!

This is a great thread. I have two presents for my Secret Santa buddy but can't figure out what else to put in the box, and I feel it really needs something else.

Dear Santa,

I want it all!

The Seam-Fix seam ripper is wonderful. I would recommend it.

I want a gift certificate for a long arm class at my new LQS. Once I take that, I can rent time on their machine to do some of my big quilts that have been languishing in the UFO pile for years.
As hard as it is to say, I'm good on fabric for a while. (I didn't say I wasn't going to buy any, I just know I shouldn't!) So a gift certificate to M* is always in order for any of those "gotta have" Daily Deals!

I could use some more small safety pins for quilting. A new red dressmaker's pencil, since mine is a stub. I have also become addicted to those brightly colored stork scissors. I have the bigger pair Kizzie sent me last year nesting by the sewing machine and love those too! Maybe it is just the whimsy of a bird snipping my threads? These are all great stocking stuffers. That is mostly what us parents get for Christmas.

In case you didn't get it yet!

Quilting Quickly Bookazine - Winter 2013 - Fons & Porter


I am being honest here so for Christmas this year I want time alone with hubby! I want to spend Christmas day with the kids, hubby and my parents. I want the day after for just me and hubby. If I get my daughter and son in law and all the kids gift certificates they would all have to go somewhere won't they? Where can I send two 20 somethings, a 9 yr old, 5 yr old and an 8 month old for a few hours or the day? I wouldn't have to worry about my parents being around because they take off for a day by themselves the day after every year.

Actually there is really nothing I want. Well maybe a sit down quilter...but those are just pipe dreams. Precuts are always appreciated. A week with no DH or kids would be great too. I NEED a certain amount of ME alone time. Actually a sewing table made for my machine would be nice. You know the kind that the machine sits down in. If I got nothing I would still be happy. Making sure my DD and DGK's are taken care of with their wishes and wants is what is most important to me. Every thing else is just icing on the cake.

I would like a week off work, a clean house, and someone to cook my meals while I finish up some quilting projects! Since this isn't going to happen, I guess I'll settle for a glass of eggnog as I snuggle my grands and DH, while the family comes for Christmas dinner.

Ideally... new kitchen cabinetry.
Realistic... I've just mailed Santa-DH a list of items (larger cutting mat, Tri-rec rulers, Aurifil thread...) He will decide which ones he can afford.
