I got 4 new quilt books this year (Strips and Strings, Nickel Quilts,
5500 Quilt Block Designs and another about embroidery); some small
stocking stuffers I had picked myself (thimble stickies, basting spray,
applique glue, a little fabric) and some I hadn't (a lingerie bag for
washing fat quarters in, a magnetic pin picker-upper). But my biggest
quilty gift was a certificate for a homemade "quilt design wall of my
choosing" by DH. He made it a few days after Christmas, and there is a
photo of it in my webshots album (last photo in sewing album). I love
it, and it has motivated me to reorganize my sewing area, which badly
needed to be done.

How wonderful, Lynn! Your design wall looks great.

I've been thinking that I didn't get any quilty gifts this year, but
I've changed my mind. G DH did get me the iPod I wanted, and I've
decided that it's truly a quilty gift, since I've been listening to
audiobooks on it -- what a treat! I'm very new to the world of
audiobooks, but I'm really enjoying it. And, of course, I went to run
some errands yesterday -- the first time since Christmas that I'd felt
well enough to go anywhere (or even get dressed G). One of my errands
took me to HomeDepot, where I succumbed to temptation and bought myself
a laser level square -- really cool!
