I wanted to share with everyone. I've been looking at the new flex light
shown in all the quilt magazines. But the price was blowing me away
$49. Well I thinking this is not a new idea and I've seen something like
it before. In walmart today looking for new quilt magazines. And guess
what I find and only $9. Here it is in action.

Cool, does it work good for you? And what department did you find it in?

That really looks cool. Does it run on batteries.

That's a good idea. I use reading lights a lot for reading. 8) Be sure and have a few spare batteries for it. The light goes dim fast in these. Most use the watch type batteries.

LED lights are bright- don't look at it! I have a small pocket flashlight that works fantastic!

Next trip to Wally World, I'll check this out!

I found them in the book dept with magazines etc.

If you don't have a place to clip it, its flat on the back I would think you
could use some kind of sticky foam. I'd look in the picture hanging
hardware dept or maybe velco...
