Figuring This Out

Well, I've figured out how to get back into this blog to create a second post.  The length of time between posts has a lot to with kid using my laptop and creating their own blog and me not being able to figure out how to get it to log out of theirs and into my own.   As confusing as some of the computer details may be now I do remember the limitations of our first computer.  We spent $5,000 in 1991on a huge computer with MS Dos programming and a micro dot printer.  (Just imagine what one could get for $5,000 now.  I could tap into the Space Shuttle, or not since it isn't flying anymore.)  What hasn't changed is the fact that my teenager is better at telling how to run it than I am.

However, I have been busy creating during this time.  This is the best news.  I've been accepted as a semifinalist for the Create Your Own Style Art Quilt Design Contest sponsored by Swarovski Crystals.  My piece is titled "Red Hot Blues" and I have fun creating it.

I've also been working on a website, which is about to launch.  I've been working on pattern writing and testing for my first official quilt pattern.  Making class samples for a fall quilting class.  Thinking, drawing and testing a pattern for a whole cloth quilt.  And making some snazzy necklaces and a fun tote bag that will turn into a pattern.  My biggest challenge, if you haven't figured it out yet, is finishing what I've been working on.  I have so many ideas I jump from one to the next before it is 100% complete.  But look!  I did figure out how to get back into my blog and make a post!  Success!
