Hello, stitchy peeps! The #warmandnaturalbatting arrived from joann_stores, who was having a smashing sale, with coupons, and I was super impressed that my order arrived in just 2 days! Thank you, Joann. So it is time to sandwich and quilt. After watching a gazillion hand quilting videos, suzyquilts has convinced me that I CAN do this. I love her suggestions about basically machine quilting (in or just above the ditch), and then going back and adding the hand quilting for effect. That seems more doable for a beginner like me. So I have amassed the needles, the perle cotton, the leather โ˜˜๏ธ thimble, and I am super excited. ๐Ÿงต : I am also giving a shout out to ottlite_official for their #OttliteWellnessSeries lamp that has a tablet stand. โฌ…๏ธ to see a full view. It has 4 brightness settings, 3 color modes, a USB port so that you can charge the tablet, and the neck is fully adjustable. I love the small desktop lamp that with the Qi charging station (reviewed that last year), so I was confident that I would be happy with this floor lamp, and I so am. Joann had the best price, and free shipping. Win/win. Thank you, Ottlite & Joann! ๐Ÿ’ก : I hope you are having a good Monday, and are able to spend a few minutes doing something that you love! ๐Ÿ’• : #quiltersofinstagram #ottlitelamps #handquilting #makersgonnamake #bonnieandcamillefabric #blissfabric #aprilshowersfabric Quilt pattern is #duelingdiamondsquilt, by seams_sew_me.
