A quilter's Christmas

I got this Tumbler Shape to try with my "cutting machine" from Andrea. The bobbins were in my stocking. And look at this beautiful Ginger rotary cutter and seam ripper I got from Tim (with help from Leslie)
These fat quarters were in my stocking. Santa always knows to throw in a few fats.


And last but not least. LOOK!!! This came from my wonderful husband. (Please disregard the old, wrinkled hand).

And here is the poem he wrote that goes with the ring:
Christmas 2009
The artificial and its deceit are apparent in the shadows of night.
Where light blazes forth from the Ultimate Wellspring of Grace,
Hope shines as a standard, a lamp that lights the path to the dawn.
Beyond the sad, slow waning of years, the Ever Living One
...stands, smiling...
A smile, THE smile that banishes fear and heartache.
No artificial device, it was wrought by God without our understanding...
...without our assistance.
Blood, the blood of Jesus the Savior, born that magic morn,
Brings forth the glitter of glory.
His promise...Joy will not be denied.

I'm teary eyed, but for a different reason. That had looks like Mom's. I used to play with her hands in church as a child. Yours remind me of hers.
Love ya,
