I told Santa I only wanted one thing for Christmas this year...but it is a very nice thing! This is a Babylock 12-needle embellishing machine. I have not had a chance to play with it yet...
but now I have these...
which came from JoAnn's and from Mary Jo's. Lots of lovely soft wool roving to play with.
but now I have these...which came from JoAnn's and from Mary Jo's. Lots of lovely soft wool roving to play with.And for months I have been saving a bag of these at each of my sewing areas 
They are bits of thread, Angelina, yarn, and other various fibers. I have lots of these ready to be part of some future project.
The nice folks at Carolina Sew-and-Vac gave Santa a bag of this gorgeous rayon thread when he picked up the embellishing machine. I found it in my stocking on Christmas morning.
And here is a great gift for the machine stitcher...the little bendable sewing light. It attaches to the sewing machine. This was on my wish list at Quilts Like Crazy in Wake Forest and was a very appreciated gift from Dave and Emily. When the CyberBee met a couple weeks ago, I saw many of these being used by the girls who participated in the sew-in.

They had a great variety this time. Most of the FQ' s there are only $1.25, but not the batiks.
My niece Melinda sent me a link to the baby nursery bedding that she likes. So I looked for some fabrics that might work for a home-made version. She would prefer to have more lavender than pink.
Anyway, I am ready to play! My alma mater (North Carolina State) has a bowl game this afternoon, so I will probably be watching football on the tube instead of sewing. But do you think I will need to start a new blog...All Things Felty?
