What happened to my slideshows?

OK, I used to have some cool slide shows of my ATC swaps. These have vanished, too. Where do these things go???

I must be the world’s worst blogger

Not only do I rarely post, and even more rarely upload photos, I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to edit without loosing everything.  I could swear there used to be an edit button next to everything, and now I cannot see one anywhere.  And what’s the difference between a tag and a category?  Could someone loan me a twelve year old so I can figure this out?

Closed my Facebook page

My Facebook page was hacked by some spammers, and Facebook did nothing to help me get rid of them, so I took down my page. Anyone that wants the free collage sheets can have them anyway.

2011 update

Like last year, I have been quilting like crazy.  In addition to my personal projects, I have been teaching machine patchwork and quilting at Rich Mountain Community College, and I also took two training classes in sewing machine repair from the well known OSMG Ray White.  So now, I repair vintage sewing machines as well as teach quilting on these very same machines.  If I ever slow down enough to take some photos, I will post pics of the machines and quilting.

Catching up

In the last year, I have been quilting with a passion.  I set a goal for 2010 to complete 12 new quilts and to finish some of my UFO’s.

I did finish one UFO, a large log cabin scrappy quilt.  I also resurrected a quilt that I started back in the 80′s, and had become bored with it.    It was loaded with mistakes,  which I elected to leave in.  I joined the rows,  sandwiched the layers, and in a moment of complete insanity, decided to hand quilt it.  It’s about half done.  Perhaps it will be completed next year.

I made 8 or 9 tops (one is still needing its borders), and completed one quilt.  It was as large pink and purple sampler that I machine quilted on my Featherweight and gifted to my DH’s cousin and his new bride.

Next year’s goal is to finish these quilts and make 3 more.
