Christmas gifts

We went shopping yesterday....
after years of making only a few pancakes or french toast or grilled cheese sandwiches at a time.....
We bought ourselves a great big griddle.
When we arrived home we wasted no time....it was opened and put to use.
What a treat, all these pancakes done at the same time!!!
We love it!!

In the mailbox was a package from Virginia.....
One of the things in it was this massive, big, coffee table sized book from my niece!



I spent some time this morning going through it.
















I took some pictures of the ones that caught my fancy...

Tons and tons of inspiration...



I see a pattern in the pictures of I took.....



There are no curved or appliqued quilts in the ones I was drawn to....even though the book is full of those too....(and are really cool to look at)....for now I will stick to straight sewing lines

I will need to spend some time studying this book. Everytime I look I see something different and wonder...how did they do that???
