Testing the formatting; a new fidget

Hello, everyone. The last post I made from the phone app came out looking really crazy. The desktop post after that was fine. I'm trying again in the phone app.

I found a piece of hand embroidery in the stash the other day and realized that the stitching is very textural. Added a faux-suede heart with decorative stitching and couched down some lace bits by hand. Then it sat for a few days.
Today, after trying out in-the-hoop quilting with an end to end pattern for the first time, I had a chunk of quilted satin. I sewed the embellished embroidery onto the satin and sewed the unit onto some poly "flannel" )the kind used for baby sleepers) and attached the circle to some pre-quilted black cotton.
At sewing club our president demonstrated a new way to cut bias binding. (She found a video on the internet and was impressed. ) 
And I'm ready to seam and press the new binding for the fidget.
