Merry Christmas…2012

1

My hope is that all of you are having the BEST Holiday possible…and remember sometimes things are as good and YOU decide they are going to be…

I want to thank everyone for making it possible for me to be able to do what I love…and that is to create and educate with my stitching…without you all it would not be possible and I just want to let you know I am grateful!

Mom and I are busy getting our Holiday meal ready…she picked number 67 for the winner of yesterday’s post….MarieDecember 24, 2012 at 1:20 pm

Lisa, I had an opportunity to learn about the Juki machine years ago and was unable financially to purchase one. Later a friend of mine was selling her Brother Nouvelle 1500 which is basically the same machine with a few minor differences. LOVE IT! I too would rather sew on that machine than any other. Well later another friend was selling her Juki 98Q and I was financially able to purchase it (she had too many machines and favored another). Anyway I was blessed to have 2 wonderful machines. I actually like the threader better on the Brother and the 1/4″ mark on the throat plate on the Brother, although the needle up/down on the Juki is rather nice. Both are wonderful machines! I have sewn on others but these two are my absolute favorites hands down!

Marie…send me your address and we will be sending you a Christmas Care Package…in other words we will be putting stuff together for you, kind of like a Big Christmas Present!

I will pick 12 winners of the Christmas Blog Hop tomorrow…

Merry Christmas All!!!

    Merry Christmas, have truly enjoyed your Christmas blog on things quilters need to make quilting more enjoyable. Quilting is a hobby I love so much and I love seeing and hearing from others. It inspires me so much. Happy New Year and I will be looking forward to your blog in the new year.

    MERRY CHRISTMAS…. I am busy making different chutneys for a Brie I baked. I did one with cranberries and nuts and just now I did one with dried apricots, raisins, basalmic vinegar and other goodies. Smells great.
    I have another to make yet. Hope you are getting lots of good stuff to eat.

    Merry Christmas. . .past! I am sitting here, too full and working off a chocolate, a cup of tea and a cup of Christmas punch. Worth every calorie after entertaining twenty people tonight. I am looking forward to tomorrow when I can do some stitching and a little machine work. Just for me. You and Primitive Gatherings have been a light for me this year and I’ve supported you well too. lol. I know your best will even be better next year. Happy New Year.
