Home and almost ready to sew again!

I'm home from a wonderful Christmas spent with my family in North Carolina. I thought I would share some pictures of some 'quilty' Christmas gifts I got, including new snips! Santa was reading my blog!


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!
