Hi Cuties, I wanted to take this opportunity to wish everyone a safe, happy and blessed Christmas filled with LOVE from all your family and friends. I also wish that 2018 brings good health and lots of wonderful projects to sew out.


Thank you to all the wonderful staff here and Miss Veronika who keeps this site running so beautifully.

Thank you to all the moderators who keep us in check!!

And thank you to all of you, my friends, who have made this place the wonderful sanctuary that it is, one where we can all meet and swap stories, pray for each other, marvel at the wonders of our modern embroidery machines and gasp in awe at the talent of so many.

As we leave tomorrow for Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy and then Singapore and don't return till the 8th of January, I have asked Sue if she can post the SS gift that was sent to me and she has kindly offered to do so.

I hope all the Secret Santa gifts are on their way or have already been received. I will pop in to comment on them whenever I can.

Merry Christmas to you all and a very happy and healthy 2018, love Chris

Chris have a wonderful time. The smell and experiences of my childhood are coming alive right now. This is the time I still get a little homesick. California's Christmas just isn't the same. I do envy you a little for being in Germany at this magical time. Enjoy and come back save.

Thanks Angie, yes, I love Germany at this time of year. We've been a few times over the past 10 years and there's always a surprise in what we see.
I hope you have a wonderful blessed Christmas and that 2018 brings good health. Love Chris

For Michelle,

This is a picture of just one part of Kathe Wohlfahrt's shop in Rudesheim in Germany. Aren't I the lucky one to be able to go back and visit it?
I can't wait.
If you go to Google and type in Kath's name there are many shops in Germany. Go have a look they are breathtaking.

Love Chris

Thanks Michelle, I can't wait to see Rudesheim in the Christmas season. It's just gorgeous. I want to go to Kath Wohlfahrt's shop as well whilst there. We visited it last time we were there. It is just AMAZING!! Love Chris

Safe travels Chris, enjoy your trip and come home safely. Hope that you and your family have a wonderful Christmas wherever you shall be, think of us in the heat while you enjoy the cool weather. May 2018 bring peace, joy and happiness to all, and most of all for you a creative year. Sandra.

Oh! that's lovely Sandra. I sure am going to give it my best. Can't wait for the new year. My sewing machine is in having it's 6 monthly overhaul and I'm getting the new Premier Plus programme for Christmas - a present from me to me! I've been saving all the ironing money I get from the girls each week and have it saved now and will purchase it when I go pick up my machine next year! Have a great Christmas to you and your family. Love Chris
