Another year older, but my selvage isn’t fraying yet. For this post, I am sharing my sister’s gift and some other updates. Hope you’ll enjoy looking through the photos today.

My sister did some homework and found this mini iron for me! I think it is pretty adorable, don’t you? It’s basically for ironing those quilt block seams open for a crisper finished appearance rather than relying on a finger presser method. Also fits on a small, tabletop ironing board that I already have. No topsy-turvy issues with a big ol’ normal-sized iron on that little board. Problem solved! The iron rest didn’t come with, so I used a gift card from my dear Mother-in-law. But if you need any gift ideas for this coming holiday season, I’d put this down for a possibility.

Since I’m still waiting on my Bernina 880 to get fixed (5 weeks today), I am also still sewing at my kitchen table on my back-up machine. So it’s very handy to have the little ironing board right there rather than lugging out the large one. Spaces need to be aligned correctly for optimal flow. At least for this gal.

Also I’m working on a different Christmas panel. The first one sold in less that 24 hours of being posted. And my thanks to another family member for purchasing it! I have a little sneak peek of the new one below as well as a photo of the one that sold.

The panels I’ve been finishing up are vintage and not sure if you can find others out there? Maybe I will check into it. But for now, I’m up to my elbows in stuff to complete.

That’s a wrap on this week’s Tuesday Threads! Now, I want to hear from you: how are your projects shaping up this week? Are your spaces aligned, or is everything a bit topsy-turvy right now? Let me know in the comments below, and happy stitching until next week!
