The Sawtooth Star Mini Quilt

In my new basement sewing space (that I feel so lucky to have) I have a really long wall. It's long and greyish-white....and it needed something. I have been debating for months about what to put up there and then it dawned on me that it would make a great gallery wall for some of my "practice quilts."

Stocking Stuffers for the Sew-er (all under $20)

This post is for you....well, not really, it's really for your husband. And my husband. And liZ's husband. See, all we have to do now is casually leave this post up on all of our computers (well, that's my plan---he seldom reads what's going on over here) and maybe one of these items will magically appear in my stocking ;) Do you think it will work?
