wish list #2

The Go Baby!
from Accuquilt


We all would love to find one of these under our tree on Christmas morning.  The Go Baby, has so many fun dies for applique, and quilting.  It makes each cut precisely.  You can even layer 6 fabrics at a time and cut them all at once!  Quickly and accurately.

We always have a Go Baby in the shop, out and ready to demonstrate for you.  PLUS, we now have a Go Baby Club.  We meet once a month to use our cutters and create something new.


To make the Snowman Table Runner,
we used the Hexagon Die and the Snowflake Die.

We even fed the students a yummy homemade lunch!

You are welcome in SKJ anytime, and we can fill out your
Wish List together!

Wish List

Do your kids ask you what you want for Christmas?  Mine do.  I always tell them, "hugs and kisses"!  My Dad would always answer with "three good girls". What parent doesn't want that! Both are such good answers to a tough question.

This year I am telling my kids I would like a hot glue gun, and a staple gun.  Something I really need.  But they aren't too happy getting their mom a necessity item!

So I thought I would share with you some ideas for you to share with your family.  Here is just the littlest start to your very own Wish List.


#1 Hobbs Tuscany Wool Batting
It's the very best.  "The ultimate quilt batting. Quilts magnificently by hand or machine. Breathes naturally. Washable."  Queen size $46.99


#2 Snail Tape Measure
Perfect size to carry in your purse.  Perfect for a Christmas stocking or Secret Sister gift. Plus it's just super cute in super cute colors!  $2.99

Come back soon as our list of gift ideas will grow.  All items are available at SKJ while supplies last.
