I'm making a doll quilt for a little girl whose favorite color is orange. I didn't want the quilt to look like fall or Halloween, so Lady bug lady bug fly away home. The original pattern had buttons sewn on for the spots. I didn't want to sew 60 to 72 buttons on for spots and have a choking hazard for the little girl. I tried the eyelet stitch on my machine too small, I tried the satin stitch and turn the little black dots as I stitch too small to turn easily. Try the satin stitch with the machine quilting foot!!! Firmly attached dots, round enough and easy to maneuver and a new sharp needle made it so much easier. Then I got a little goofy with my dots. She can at least learn to count to five.
We had enough rain to glaze the snow so it can't blow but then we got a little more snow and lots more wind but not like some parts of the state and midwest. Still warm and dry. --Ann--
