Ok, go ahead and laugh, everyone who has stippled and has more grey cells left than I, will grant you this one chuckle about me. I once upon a time could stipple "lullabye" baby quilts with eyes almost closed, and after having to modify (grrr) the attachment prongs that Bernina QA missed, looked at little #9, the expensive little devil it was, and couldn't figure out why the needle was in front of the cute little circle. It took a full 5 minutes for this tired old brain (yeah, go ahead and snicker Chele) figured out it was ok for the needle to be in FRONT of the circle.................duh.................Well, I gave myself a B- on the project, its been probably 10 yrs since I did stippling and then it wasn't freehand, I was following a traced project, so maybe I should give myself a B+.
However, Chele's recycled scraps made wonderful "new material" to practice on!
Tomorrow the "Eagle", Jerry bought me a sewing chair tonight (assembly in progress) so I can get out of the "folding lawn chair" and sit at a proper height................yeah................this living off the cuff just to say I went South for the winter isn't too much fun on the budget.
However, it was fun, and no one but me will ever see the sampler again, now if I can just figure out how to download free stipple patterns from the computer...............................to pin over the eagle......................
Been putting lots of time in on genealogy, so quilting is running a little slow. later gang!
