Dedemac - believe it or not I haven't made it to Mills End yet. That's my husband's aunt's favorite shop so I really have no excuse. Maybe I'll check it out this weekend. I've only been in MN for two years so really still learning my way around. I love Millie P's in Anoka and Quilted Treasures in Rogers. They aren't super close, but always worth the trip. Otherwise, Crafty Planet in Northeast is just 10 minutes away. It isn't a quilt shop and their displays are always outdated, but they have lovely fabrics and embroidery patterns. I visited several shops during the MN Shop Hop - just finished a quilt top from the state park fabrics (haven't quilted it yet but the photo is posted on my profile page). I think I'll check out the Fall Harvest Shop Hop in a couple weeks as well. Any excuse to cruise around to the local shops!

Got a wonderful pattern today for ornaments. May just add one to my SS box.

Also went to my quilt meeting today and was introduced to the Twister Tool that we were commenting on the other day. Purchased one of the patterns for it that came with a small Tool. We are making Twisted Trees. Looks like it will be fun.

Those are really pretty, care to share the pattern? OR give us a tute on it?
Be sure to show us your twisted tree too. That sounds very interesting???

Wow had to catch up again!!! I do not have a quilters calculator but have looked at them and wondered how hard they are to use. I love the idea of homemade buttons! I love chocolate of any kind, plus I love pretty smelling candles and stuff. I do not own an embroidery machine. My sewing room is decorated with Coca Cola items. I love Coke stuff. I hope I have given enough info to my secret santa!!! If I can help any more just let me know!!! Woohoo this is going to be so much fun!!!!!!!!!

RWQuilts, I want it all. LOL Just in case it is me I can give a short list. Bargello, Mariners Compass, or Sea Urchin Pattern. Books for the same along with Perfect Parchwork Set G. I have the templates but no books for that one. I could always use rotary blades, 45 and 28 mm. Wonder clips, flying geese ruler, Pellon 805, anything else you want to send. I am easy easy to please.
Quilty Loise, if you have me, I do not have an embroidery machine so dont need anything for it.

Another question:
Do you have a "Quilter's FabriCalc" (calculator just for quilters for those who may not know)
[ATTACH=CONFIG]439427[/ATTACH]
If I have your name and you say no you don't have one and you would like too
than I MIGHT just send it to you providing I have room in your box.
I just need the RIGHT person to answer my questions LOL.
No I am still not going to tell you WHO LOL

Nope, I don't have one of these.
). I LOVE Bright colors, in fact lime green $ hot pink are my favorite colors.
I enjoy homemade things.
I am a full time caregiver for our 24 yo DD with multiple health needs. (Www.caringbridge.org/visit/Shea)
Therefore, I quilt as 'my therapy'
I wear an XL t shirt and would like a fun 'quilting t shirt'
I'd like a pair of machiners gloves for FMQ
We have our one & only GC, he is 2 1/2 and named me YAIYAI , all on his own, needless to say I LOVE this name,
a bag or even an apron with this embroidered on it would be fun & nice
Due to being at multiple Dr visits & various hospital stays, I do ALOT of hand work, appliqué,
I like doing appliqué with wools, i like wool patterns & designs ----
I travel with my appliqué so a cute bag to carry the appliqué & supplies in would be nice
I DON'T like anything Halloween,
I am a Christian, I work with our womens ministry at church, have been married to my best friend for 28 years
I collect crosses,
And like funny quilt sayings / funny quilt ladies .....
I have a Janome 6600 for sewing
And a Janome 350e for embroidery
I drink flavored hot teas, prefer loose tea but bags are okay
I don't like chocolate, yes, I am a female, just don't like chocolate. But now white chocolate & Carmel I'd fight you for.
I hope this helps my Ss out with some ideas for me.
Besides our GS my 'baby' is a 4 yo -4lb Yorkie, named Gabby.
I look forward to learning more about MY Ss and putting a fun package together for her as well!!

Way way back when I was young, we had "Autograph books and we'd we'd get our friends & everybody to write a short inspirational, or funny verse in our book. That was a common one, (usually our teachers) would write in our books.
