Magnifying LED Desk Lamp

Here's a new magnifying LED Desk Lamp that was just added to the sewing room. It's portable so I can take it when I go stitching. The base is heavy making it very stable so there are no worries when bending the 12 inch flexible arm. The bright white LED light can be turned up or down with the switch on the top. I didn't realize how dull and yellow my florescent lamp was, until both were put side by side.

This light was purchased at Sewing World, St. John's.

Hand Embroidery

Last summer I purchased a Bird Brain Designs embroidery pattern. I finally got around to doing it. I chose some tightly woven muslin for my base and, using a light box, traced the design onto the fabric with one of my Frixion pens by Pilot. When heat is applied, the marks disappear. Here's my stitching. The pattern suggested using a backstitch which I did. However, I think I would use a stem stitch if I did another one.

This may become a table topper or wall hanging. I haven't decided yet!

Hoop, needle case and light to go around your neck.
This light is perfect for night time stitching as you can direct the beam.
