February has come and gone. It was quite a month, weatherwise, as it usually is, here in the Mid Atlantic area. Ice, snow, sleet, rain---we've had it all. Schools have been closed more than they have been open. I don't think they have been open a full week since before Christmas. This has taken its toll on my quilting activity.
I wanted to post a picture of the Grand Illusion quilt I made from Bonnie Hunter's Mystery quilt guidelines. It is a quilt that is the type I stopped making years ago. It is comprised of about 3000 pieces of squares, rectangles and half-square triangles (my least favorite). There is a reason I found the light, switching over to less complex art quilts. I wanted to post a picture of this quilt. I left my camera in the hotel while I attended Mid Atlantic Quilt Festival last week. Yup, those quilt pictures, along with over 1000 other pictures are in that camera. Fortunately, the honest people at Marriott (Hampton) have the camera in their lost and found and will send it to me this week! So when I get the camera back, I'll post the pic. (Did I mention we got 9" of snow overnight, the night before my class? Now that was an interesting commute over to the convention center when the show busses failed to show.)
In the meantime, I'm trying to figure out my latest digital camera acquisition (purchased last Spring to take Baseball game films). It takes nice pictures but I can't figure out how to edit them after I get them transferred to the laptop. It is a Panasonic Lumix and it does take nice pictures. Last Fall, I purchased a new laptop and have not taken the time to install Photoshop Elements. I did that yesterday. I have Version 9 and they recently released Version 12 or 13. I decided not to update yet since I have the Version 9 Elements Book for Idiots to use when I get stuck using the product. I hate being technically challenged!
So I'll post pictures, hopefully, with the next post. Until then, honey is summoning me to assist with an ice maker repair. Don't know when I'll get back into the studio :--(
