Batik Scraps and New Camera

After rearranging my sewing room to accommodate my new Gammill, the scrap bins had to be reduced.  I have a huge box of batik pieces -- several are brights.  I dug out one of my favorite background fabric -- black Kona's -- I like anything Kona  -- nothing highlights the main affair like a contrasting solid.  So far I have twelve bright beauties.

I am also busy on the Gammill with new projects.  When I get tired of standing, I sit and piece through the batiks.  I am anxious to see how long I can piece from the scraps before I have to cut into a fat quarter.

I have also treated myself to a new camera --- most of the time my TV is on the USA, TNT or A&E channels -- but a little channel surfing landed me on QVC's special of the day.  When they showed the difference between the "phone camera" photos (that I use a lot) and their photos -- hey, no brainer.  I am not much of a researcher when it comes to non-sewing gadgets, so this was perfect.

Of course, the camera only works when it is used -- so I need a bigger purse.  Hmmmm, I think a little more shopping is necessary.
