    Great post on lighting….I'd never considered lining them up side by side. Love the idea!!!

    Leah, your blog posts are so helpful. I really appreciate how you try to help us in all areas of our quilting – not just the designs.

    Hi Lea, just a video technical issue – your text extended beyond the frame on the right so I lost some letters. I use Firefox and haven't seen this problem before with your videos.

    you have an upstairs AND a downstairs studio????? Boy am I jealous! It took me getting rid of a daughter to get a place to put my stuff! LOL.

    Hi Mcleanl – Uggh! I've just switched video editing programs and obviously still have a few bugs to work out. I can't believe I didn't catch this before!

    Quilt Swissy – Yeah, I'm now taking up about 1/4 of the house with quilting stuff!

    My husband is used to me asking for more space now and just rolls his eyes and asks if he should start sleeping outside in a tent with James so I can have the whole house to myself.

    You'd be surprised by how much space you can open up and re-purpose for quilting if you're just creative with it. Case in point: I use a downstairs kitchen for my big cutting, designing, and large quilt layout room.

    Let's go quilt!

    What a great idea..my lighting in my sewing room stinks. I am going to try this out.

    By the way, you are amazing. I have learned so much from your blog. I have set up an area now that is comfortable to machine quilt using your ideas. I am just finishing up my first big quilt on my home machine and it was fairly simple to quilt using all of your advice. I hope you never stop giving wonderful advice.

    Hi again, Lea. I just watched again and the text problem is fixed. Either you corrected the problem or my Firefox issue went away. Just thought you'd like to know! Lee
