WMUTeach, you asked last week what we were working on and I had nothing to share. I’m happy to report I quilted a small baby quilt which still needs binding and I’m onto a small wall hanging. Unfortunately, I had a tension problem so I’ve stopped. Discovered the bobbin isn’t wound evenly at the halfway point so I need a new one. Guess I should have paid more attention as I wound it but why it’s uneven is a question. Hope to solve it and have the WH quilted tomorrow so I can get to binding both.
Happy Tuesday evening all.

Am I being frugell r just a recycler?.
My dad would show me his pile of stamps he would remove from mail where the machine didn't cancel. He never had anything return on his reuse, so I do the same. Saved me about $4.00. All from last year bd pkgs.

Frugal is as Frugal does.. When cleaning out my father's house many years ago, I found all kinds of stamps and I saved and used everyone. He had one cent stamps and even 2 cent stamps but mostly he had old, really old, forever stamps. A penny here and another there is a savings. Yeah, use those uncancelled stamps or those that are waaay, back in the drawer that got forgotten.
Who knew we would be talking stamps here along with our 2.5 candies. Tee-hee-hee!
Keep after those projects, Janice McC! Hope you got your quilt and wall hanging done. My checker board quilt is finished just needs the binding to completed. We shall be binding together on some imaginary couch catching up on quilting dreams.

What a cute way to put your little candies to good and friendly use. I remember seeing those wee little dresdens a couple of years ago..... I wonder if the tutorial could be posted again, please. Hint, Hint, Hint.
Oh, I found the tutorial. It was from SheriR and was posted in the 2018 birthday swap. Hope this works for us. Mini Dresden tutorial from Sheri R.
