Jerry Rigging....

 The longarm machine I have (APQS Ultimate I, 20+ yrs old) uses a stylus to trace a pantograph.

I have a hard time keeping my view consistent so I wanted a laser light for more accuracy.

 I had to find a laser light with an on/off switch, used a bit of electrical tape to narrow the size of the light on the paper and then taped it onto the stylus!  Now as for the skewer -it is helping to hold the laser light mounting bolt in place-the apparatus that held it in place inside the housing of the machine came apart many years ago.  This way is not ideal mechanically but it works!  I can happily quilt for an hour now and it is a dream even if it doesn't look shiny bright! lol

 Yes, it works just fine-so nice to make a mile and see the progress when you don't have to keep stopping to fix your equipment!

 In fact, one down.......

and one to go!

On the sewing front, I finished the other 'row' of frogs and am now working on the individual ones.

I leave some of the tear away stabilizer on the wrong side-those frog toes just won't let go!

Lost in Space

 I loaded up the quilt frame-it was time to get a bit done! 

 I am doing something different in each of the colored blocks.  Nice to be at work here again!

 I pieced one more row-not much but bit by bit this will get completed!

 I also laid out the next row and began the piecing. 

 Next is stitching down each of the fringed edges on the inside

 and then to attach it to the row above. 

 Easy work if I just remain methodical at each step of the process.

 I sat down and spun.  It's been forever again!  

I am spinning some fiber called mint from Paradise Fibers.

  It feels like SeaCell which I have spun before. 

 Eeehh. 

 But it is going to be spun and then we will see what I have for yarn!

.

And this totally appealed to me as a pattern-fragments of me falling away.

It's called Shattered.

I could be more positive and turn the pattern upside down

and see myself as being filled up.

It's just that I am so tired, it is more the latter right now.
