Wish List | A Quilted Passion

Santa Baby

Santa baby, just slip a Panasonic Cordless 360 under the tree for me;

Been an awful good girl, Santa baby, So hurry down the chimney tonight

Santa baby, an All-in-One Computer too, or a Laptop will do,

I’ll wait up for you,dear; Santa baby, So hurry down the chimney tonight

Think of all the things I’ve made, think of all the quilts I gave,

Next year I could be just as good…if you check off my Christmas list

Santa baby, I want an Olfa 35″ X 70″ gridded cutting mat and really that’s not a lot;

Been an angel all year; Santa baby, So hurry down the chimney tonight.

Santa honey, one little thing I really need…the supreme slider…make it a queen,

Santa baby, So hurry down the chimney tonight

Santa cutie, and fill my stocking with Quilters Slidelock Rulers; the Lighted Edge,

Santa cutie, and hurry down the chimney tonight

Come and trim my Christmas tree with all the gifts you have for me. Fabric by the yard or pre-cuts, machingers, woven labels and such.
I really do believe in you; Let’s see if you believe in me…

Santa baby, forgot to mention one little thing…some batting; Pellon, Hobbs, or Warm and White; Santa baby, So hurry down the chimney tonight

Hurry, tonight!

A Thread for Life

Lord, thank You for the gift of life. For air to breathe. For health and strength. For loved ones—not perfect people, but people who support and care for me. For my church family. For Your Word. And thank You for Your Holy Spirit, who pursues me so faithfully and brings Your truth to bear upon my life. Thank You for the life-changing experience of walking with Jesus Christ. Thank You for the assurance of sins forgiven and the promise of eternal life. I choose today by an act of the will to turn away from complaining and to focus upon Your goodness. Would You cause genuine gratitude to fill my heart, thoughts, and words, for You are worthy. In Jesus’ name, amen. – James MacDonald Walk in the Word

I finished another flimsy. This one is modern. Some of you might be thinking I’m just a flimsy maker, but I’m not. I do finish quilts. I’m just taking a short break from the actual quilting part to make tops. I’m working on building up inventory for my Etsy shop. I’d like to take it off “vacation status” by mid October and have at least 20 items to list. I’m also waiting on modifications on the DIY sewing table in order to quilt more comfortably.

I made me another bag. It’s a LARGE quilt carry bag that stretches to over 45″ when full of quilts. It’s a quilt as you go pattern from the book Jelly Roll Quilts by Pam and Nicky Lintott of The Quilt Room. I used fabric from the Laurel Burch Jungle Songs collection. The pattern called for magnetic snaps but me being “Ms. Thrifty”, decided to go w/the cheaper option of sew-on snaps. Needless to say, if I make it again, I’ll use the magnetic snaps. I’d also put some batting in the strap and make it longer.

I added faux buttons to the outside of the bag too.

This is Penelope. A back-up/traveler/loaner I bought for $25 from a coworker whose Aunt (owner) had recently passed away. She runs beautifully.

And this is Oh Suzanna! I got her for $25 too from the same coworker. I had no idea how awesome sergers are! I’m happy to add her to my collection.

Connecting Threads had their Essential Cotton Thread on sale for $1.95/spool. So I bought a few spools.

I pulled the old Black and Decker stand-by out of the closet. I finally got fed up dealing w/my constantly dripping Rowenta Effective. I cannot for the life of me remember why I put this baby in the closet in the first place. It doesn’t drip and it gives me a little warning beep when it’s getting ready to shut-off. I hope to use it until I can get the Panasonic Cordless 360 , which has been on my wish list for quite some time.

I won these adorable magnetic needle minders from a giveaway that Lara B. of Buzzin Bumble had a few weeks ago. They are from an Etsy shop called YumYumButtons.

My new pen! It’s cigar style (fat) and made of Bubinga.

And lastly, I visited Quilt n’ Sew Connection in Prescott Valley and practiced a little woodgrain fmq on an awesome, if very expensive machine. The Bernina Q20 which is a sit-down longarm. Yes! It is now on my wishlist too!
