New seam ripper!!
As I was ripping seams yesterday, it occurred to me that I might want a new seam ripper....as in, maybe the one I was using wasn't as sharp as it used to be.
So, I bought a new one at Walmart this morning. Oh my.....ripping seams is never going to be high on my list, but it sure is easier to rip with a nice new sharp seam ripper.
I suppose everyone else already knows that, right? I am going to try to remember this, just like I try to remember to change my rotary cutter blade when it needs it.
The Bargello I am working on now just seems to need more companion time with my seam ripper....got to oblige. Here is a picture of where I am now, just in case you are interested.

I like Clover seam rippers, they are sharp and last a long time. I bought this one and it's great. No pokies and no cap to keep up with. I keep it in my class/retreat notion bag. https://www.quiltinaday.com/shoponline/notion/199180 Your quilt is very nice!

I used to like Clover but now my favorite is Havel's Ultra-Glide. You have to be
extra careful at first because the blade is extra sharp. It took me a while to
warm up to it but now it's my go to seam ripper.

Thanks! I think this is about number 13. This one has been a bit more challenging than most....thus the extra use of my seam ripper. It is my own fault though, as I designed this one myself. I have designed a few in the past, but I made them up as I went. This one I used a free online Bargello program....and I have a LOT to learn about using the program.
What a good memory you have..to remember that Bargello quilts tend to fascinate me.
