Xmas is Coming! Brenda's Gift
Well hello and Howdy from Texas Frank! I wasn't here to meet you last year, but I must say, you are a really cool husband! I couldn't help but laugh when I read this post and I had to share it with my husband. Soooo, he made a suggestion (note: he is currently filling in as surrogate mother AND father this week while I am at Quilt Festival, enjoying myslef immensely) so anyway, he figures every quilty woman in the world must just love the Quilt Festival, so he recommends: buy her plane fare to Houston for next year, plus hotel room reservations, plus registration to the Festival! (I just threw in the part about "Yep, that way she can order her own Long Arm while she's at the Festival" - he just grimaced at me!) Tina |

Xmas is Coming! Brenda's Gift
Okay,
1. Fabric: floor supports are at their max weight allowance 2. Austrailia: Are you joking? This a woman that learned more languages to have more countries to shop in. 3. Ott light: Got 4 in the house. How many more do we need? 4. Horn Furnitu Hmmm, might be an idea. 5. Bernina: Uh, lets see. 1, 2, 3, 4, yes, the Count counts 4 sewing machines in the house. Go ahead, hit the number four and the shift button. See what you get. You got it? I ain't. 6. SLK: Uh, a car that's smarter than me and worth more than I am? I'm a guy. We don't ask directions!!! Can't have a car that makes me look bad by asking directions for me. 7. Embroidery machine: see number 5. 8. Two day tour: hmm, doable. Especially if its along some major trout streams (uh, I guess the last part wasn't the voice in my head, was it?). 9. Long arm: See both 5 and 6. 10. EQ5 - she's been with EQ since before Windows came out. She has every EQ program and cd (and floppy disc) ever made. 11. Rotating cutting board: Hmm, anyone got a link to this thing? Thanks all, keep 'em coming. I figure if I can't use all the ideas, someone else can. Its also a good barometer of whats hot in the quilting world. -- Frank Reid Reverse email to reply |

KJ I have a call in to the local shop that carries the brand. I'll let you know what they come back with. Although, I'm kinda scared to find out. marcella |

It has a motorized lift in addition to the drink holder ; ) Maybe someone will get some info while in Houston? Maybe Frank should adopt me? TAria Not bad. Ifin it's less than a sewing machine, I'm happy. marcella |

Hey Frank:
How about a Hinterberg Stretch machine quilting frame. A little brother to the BIG guys but works the same. And, And she can use one of those 4 SM on it. I got mine last April and wonder now why I didn't buy it years ago. It costs thousands less than a Gamil. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles but it will do the work of the big machines. And just think all that extra money for fabric, thread, notions and even a plane ticket to Houston next year. Now that the next two Christmas' are "sewed up" you can sit back, relax and smile. This will keep her scratching her head for quite a while. H-u-m-m-m what's he up to now. Kate T. South Mississippi |

Okay, 1. Fabric: floor supports are at their max weight allowance My husband says this too. It's a myth... You just need to spread it out more rather than having it all in one trunk! Some nice shelving and cabinets in several different rooms would be a good move. 2. Austrailia: Are you joking? This a woman that learned more languages to have more countries to shop in. But they make some fantastic fabrics in Oz! And the fishing is good... 3. Ott light: Got 4 in the house. How many more do we need? One in every room, 3 in the sewing room... 4. Horn Furnitu Hmmm, might be an idea. Even better: something tailor made to her needs. 5. Bernina: Uh, lets see. 1, 2, 3, 4, yes, the Count counts 4 sewing machines in the house. Go ahead, hit the number four and the shift button. See what you get. You got it? I ain't. I just acquired my 12th machine. She's still in single figures! 6. SLK: Uh, a car that's smarter than me and worth more than I am? I'm a guy. We don't ask directions!!! Can't have a car that makes me look bad by asking directions for me. It will help her find the fabric stores. 7. Embroidery machine: see number 5. And what's WRONG with two embroidery machines? She could always sent the older one to me... 8. Two day tour: hmm, doable. Especially if its along some major trout streams (uh, I guess the last part wasn't the voice in my head, was it?). Send her quilting, you go elsewhere to fish. My mum used to send my dad fishing while she went off and did what she wanted. Worked for them... And me! I let the hubby off the leash to go camping with the Scouts and to climb hills while I hit fabric shops or sew strange things... 9. Long arm: See both 5 and 6. Feeble! A long arm is not like any other sewing machine. You can't use it in the same way. And she'd still be in single figures. 10. EQ5 - she's been with EQ since before Windows came out. She has every EQ program and cd (and floppy disc) ever made. Good. 11. Rotating cutting board: Hmm, anyone got a link to this thing? Thanks all, keep 'em coming. I figure if I can't use all the ideas, someone else can. Its also a good barometer of whats hot in the quilting world. Clover mini iron! They are rather small, and prone to hiding. Having two is no bad thing. -- Kate XXXXXX R.C.T.Q Madame Chef des Trolls Lady Catherine, Wardrobe Mistress of the Chocolate Buttons http://www.katedicey.co.uk Click on Kate's Pages and explore! |

Thanks, they look pretty. -- Frank Reid Reverse email to reply |
