S3 E57: Michelle Graham (Sew Sweetness); Procreate for quilting designs
from my chit chat segment:
It is hot tea season!!! I drink a lot lot lot of hot tea during the fall/winter/spring months. I love all types of tea, and in order to not go broke on the tea budget, I have found grocery store teas that are really very delicious for the everyday supply. I love the Black Cherry Berry and my newly discovered Cranberry Apple Celestial Seasonings tea. Bigelow’s Earl Grey Tea is very good, and I also love love love The Republic of Tea Ginger Peach and British Breakfast.

Great Earl Grey tea. I often get the decaf version of this so I can drink it at night.
This is my fancy loose leaf tea. Rose Noir is a black tea blend with rose petals. Click photo for link.
One of my fav herbal teas is Berry Meritage from The Rare Tea Cellar. Click photo for link

procreate app on ipad: using layers to test quilting designs
This is my Procreate sketch of quilting designs - this is the one with the loops on the sewing machine part.
This is also from the same Procreate drawing - I have two layers turned off to show only a diagonal design and a wishbone quilt design on the sewing machine.
