StarMag's Clip-on/Freestanding Magnifying LED Light UPDATED

Melita just posted on Facebook that she loves the StarMag LED light/magnifier from Daylight that clips onto her Evertites.  (The clip opens up to about an inch and a half wide.)  It can also be used as a tabletop light as there are little legs that pull out to stabilize the light/magnifier when it isn't clipped to your frame.   Melita got this from Nimble Needle in New Jersey.  Here it is from their website.

UPDATE:  Brenda loves hers and posted photos so you can get a better idea if this is the light/magnifer you want.

Great Ideas

This morning I have several great ideas for our stitching. The first tip comes from Renee at Pepita/Gone Stitching.  She has a great idea for stitching a challah cover without spending a ton of time with your needle.

Rachel is busy using light and dark shades of red to highlight certain areas of her canvas.  (She tried out a fellow student's Daylight Magnifying Glasses and loves them, by the way.)

Speaking of color, Ruth is custom blending the colors she wants.  For those of you not interested in color, she also shows off some of her stitching that was in the Shoreline Stitchers Exhibit in April.
