My calendar and a book of quilts from Prince Edward Island (a part of my heritage)
Some knitting needles (I love Knitpicks needles)
A new spindle my Dad made for me
And finally a quilted wallhanging from my Aunt
And now to get back into my sewing room... next up is my scrappy nine patch that I bought sashing and borders for and more Farmers Wife blocks. I am also going to tackle a miniature Double Wedding ring!
Happy Stitching!
Love the wall hanging. Happy to see Santa brought the snips!

You got some lovely gifts Ann. Can't wait for the mini double wedding ring quilt as I have wanted to do one for quite some time now and maybe I can get some pointers from you.
ReplyDeleteThe wall hanging is just so pretty. You look ready to begin to me.
