S3 E57: Michelle Graham (Sew Sweetness); Procreate for quilting designs

from my chit chat segment:

It is hot tea season!!! I drink a lot lot lot of hot tea during the fall/winter/spring months. I love all types of tea, and in order to not go broke on the tea budget, I have found grocery store teas that are really very delicious for the everyday supply. I love the Black Cherry Berry and my newly discovered Cranberry Apple Celestial Seasonings tea. Bigelow’s Earl Grey Tea is very good, and I also love love love The Republic of Tea Ginger Peach and British Breakfast.

Great Earl Grey tea.  I often get the decaf version of this so I can drink it at night.

This is also from the same Procreate drawing - I have two layers turned off to show only a diagonal design and a wishbone quilt design on the sewing machine.
