Early present for me!

When my dad asked me what I wanted for my birthday I had to think a little. But as always I went to my beloved Amazon wishlist, scrolled through, and then this happened -

Me: I would like a certain book and a certain movie please!
Dad: Great! text me the name of the book and the movie and I will go get them and put them in the mail to you.
Me: hmmm OK. They might be hard to find in a store that you would go into.
Dad: Just text me!
Me: OK!

...5 minutes pass after I text him... I get a call...

Dad: What the hell is a neighbor tortellini movie? And can I buy this quilting book at Target?
Me: I have a proposition for you: send me some money and I will just get them on Amazon and they will arrive safely at my door :-)
Dad: sounds perfect. Why do you let me think I can do these things?
Me: Because I love you and you're a dork.

SO! Without further ado - look what is now in my possession!


Oh yeah! Some studio Ghibli action and some FMQ skill enhancement! I know you are all extremely jealous. Now if I can just finish this stupid committee meeting so I can work on my Nubee's quilt and use some of Angela's advice :-)

Happy Thursday everybody!

ps: Totoro is tortellini in my dad's eyes...

  3. You're going to love Angela's book! It's super inspiring, but more about teaching you how to think about quilting than execute it.

    And I'm kind of with your dad in not having via clue about the tortellini. If it's anything like pants pankuro, though, it's awesome.
