This time of year I do purchase something for myself for Christmas if it's something I really want or can use in the future.
I got my newsletter form EQ today and they have a sale on these two items and others, the ones I am getting are stand alone programs. In othe words you don't need EQ to use them. They are half price, a good deal. I am getting this one, it sounds great. Seems like one could learn some new techniques and I am all for that. http://electricquilt.com/Shop/BestofQN/Bestof2007.asp Also this one, I love to paper piece and I love houses and these can be incooperated into a log cabin quilt which is still on my waiting list (the snake river by judy martin). http://electricquilt.com/Shop/TC/TC.asp |
I bought a new pair of embroidery scissors and a "Add a Quarter" ruler for paper piecing. I'm getting those and a new box a pins in my stocking this year. :)

DM, did you get the big ruler or the small one? I find I use both sizes all the time so I have both and new pins are always a must. I use the glass head pins as you dont' have to worry about melting them. I am ahead with pins.
I still like the flower head pins (for the lenght) even thought they are plasic flowers, they seem to withstand the heat a bit better but can melt. |
Thanks Rosy! I just gifted myself with the Best of 2007 too. I'll probably open it before Christmas!

Glad to hear you bought yourself a present! So many times at this time of the year,I think we want too, but decide we shouldn't for whatever reason. I haven't but a I have been thinking about at a magnetic board for my sewing room. I seen it at Hancocks, will wait and see if they mark it down a bit more! So I might buy myself a present if the price is right! I have even considered buying another vintage machine, but we will see!
