The start of this week feels different than the weeks past. While it would be easy to blame the end of Daylight Savings time for the shift, this Monday feels different because it feels like the holiday season. It could be that new chill to the morning air; or how a hot cup of cocoa is the perfect thing to take that chill away. The holiday stations available on my satellite radio and the Christmas movies appearing on television all weekend definitely help set the scene.
With the holiday spirit that begins showing up in the weeks prior to Thanksgiving, also comes the rush of Christmas to-do lists, holiday event invitations, and a gift giving stress that could overwhelm even the most jolly of Santa’s elves. 
In hopes of relieving some of the holiday stresses that come with finding the perfect gift to offer our most cherished friends and family members; our staff at Meissner Sewing and Vacuum Center has again, compiled a list of ideas to provide inspiration for your gift giving dilemmas.
For the Maker who has everything, we have some items that are brand new to our stores.
- Accuquilt GO! Qube Companion Set: Angles in 6”, 8”, 9” or 12”
