I finally used my paint by numbers fabric. I love this fabric. You can see all the quilting. I really do like the fans in the corner. What do you think?
I will never, EVER use wool batting on a small machine quilting project again! I fought it the whole time! Too Puffy!! I am going back to 80/20 or cotton. What do you recommend for machine quilting?
I had to quilt it much more than usual and the tension of the stitching skewed it - arrrgghhhhh
I marked it with Crayola Washable Markers and the Blue Water-soluble Pen. All marks came out fine with the help of these products. My son laughed about my Alchemy.
I gave it a 30 minute soak then lots of squeezing and squishing followed by a rinse and spin cycle in my machine. Here is a beauty shot.
It was National Sewing Machine Day yesterday. I sewed all day. It was wonderful. I'm working my way through the entire Twilight Zone series on Netflix. They early ones are really interesting and weird.
Starbuck has been on duty chasing the chipmunks. I'm so frustrated with them they are digging up all my flowers :( Do you have any suggestions? By the way, he's already brought 1 upstairs in the house and caught another yesterday and waited for us to open back door.
Here is a peek at what I worked on yesterday. I'm working in a new direction with a series in mind. It fun to be excited about something new.I wish you all a Happy Day

Now for the rant.....
Blogger is has made a change to not publish open ID comments. So only people with a Blogger or Google profile can leave one. I blog to connect to a community of quilters but this is really getting in the way of that! Also, as you all have noticed email notifications on comments have stopped too.
This is not a PROBLEM this is a CHANGE made by Blogger. What to do now? I am emailing commenters directly from my email since I know most of them. I am not, however, going back to all the blogs I leave comments for follow up responses which may or may not be there.
I recommend that you use the orange button on this screen shot and send them a message about how unhappy we are with the changes.
One thing you can do after posting is leave a comment on your own blog and click the box that says "follow up" emails then you'll get them, but you still won't be able to email responses from that.......
waaaa. waaaa. waaaa. Maybe it's time to use own website domain, which I already pay for and get off Blogger or drink the Kool-aid and just post on Instagram.
