Ok quilters - what quilt related gifts did you get for the holidays?
I received a pair of gingher pinking shears. Makes me so happy! I've wanted some forever and have always been to cheap to buy them for myself.
I also was given a box of aurifil thread. It's a nice assortment of colors that will be fun to use in projects.
How about you?

Nothing quilty, unless you count the scraps of "Fairy Frost" fabric left over from the dresses I sewed for the 3 granddaughters' American Girl dolls. If I buy fabric for doll clothes, I like to buy quilting fabric, so I can easily use the scraps. I did get a "nostepinne" -- a stick for winding balls of yarn for knitting.

Nothing quilty for me this year, either! But, like others, I hadn't asked for anything; I think I have just about everything I want for the moment. LOL! DH gave me a beautiful new jewelry "armoire" to replace my ancient jewelry box that was falling apart, and there were lovely gifts from the DDs and their families, too. Best of all, though, we've spent more time than usual together (everyone is on vacation from work at the moment), and no one had any spats or arguments. :D Sometimes the stress of the season takes a toll, but things seem to have gone along really well this year! That's the best gift of all. :)
Howdy! (repeating myself, but ...when don't I?)

My DH got me 3 new feet for my Evolution Serger (that he got me last year). One of these days I'm going to get around to working through the Nancy Zieman serger workbook so I'll know how to use the new feet. Enjoy your new quilty things and Happy New Year. Donna in Bellevue
I didn't get any gifts, but I count my first grandchild's first Christmas as my quilty gift. Someone to quilt "for" counts, right??
Well, the 'new' house with a sewing room kind of my gift this year. Dh says take the sewing room and dining room and whatever else I want as far as he is concerned. We did splurge and buy a bedroom set for the new place too. Since it is bigger there will be some quilting needing to be done for that. Maybe those count as quilt related gift if you stretch?
If new Ginghers won't make a quilting gal happy not much else will! Decadent! Taria
ps- my youngest sis got engaged for the first time yesterday! woohoo! now that is truly a wonderful thing. I am so happy for her!

DD gave me a hand quilted Butterfly Table runner from a Craft Bazaar. It is really pretty. And a dozen boxes of differently named Crayola Crayons that I don't have yet. (Some of you may remember when I recieved a Tinned box set of 64 Crayola Crayons from a now deceased RCTQ'er---story for another day for the Newbies-----DD has been adding to my collection since :) ) And because I coudn't put up my Train set under the tree this year, SIL gave me a large ceramic Train Engine (White with holly leaves and gold details all over) Just gorgeous!
Also, a Food Landscapes Calendar

Mine isn't quilting related, but it is sewing related. I got cones of serger thread in four different colors!

My husband gave me several crisp $100 bills and told me it was "mad money" to spend as I wish. Of course it will all go toward quilting fabrics and supplies. My daughter-in-law made me a lovely necklace with a quilting pattern theme. Sorry I can't remember the technique she used.
