I think my word of the year will be "Sew". No matter how bad things get, if I can "sew", then I'm happy. I didn't get to sew as much last year because of health issues, but I'm hopeful this year will be much different.
I love charm packs, and use a lot for applique designs. It save me buying yardage that I won't use as much.
I love charm packs! I've used some for I Spy quilts, and a lot for machine appliques. I have been saving some to piece a quilt.
My favorite ruler is my 6 1/2 x 24" by Creative Grids. Plus I can use my suction handle to hold it in place keeping my hand from hurting.

I would like to learn how to use some of those quilting rulers like the pineapple block. I love the way you teach things because you make it look easier and explain things better than some do. I am saving to get me a Gemini cutter. I didn't know about them until I saw your video.
I love the Wish Pillow! It's so different!

I've always loved to sew! My delight has been making outfits for my grandkids and especially my granddaughter who's now age 12. She quit wearing Mimi mades about 4 years ago. Now I have a precious 2 year old great-granddaughter that I like to sew cute things for her to wear. I also love machine embroidery, and I do a lot of shirts, burps, and towels. When spring arrives, we plant patio plants, and they have thrived this year! I love sitting out there and watching everything grow!
