Do the learning opportunities ever end? This is a close-up PICTURE of the quilt I am unquilting and then hand quilting. Learning?? Learn to do it the way you want the first time to save time. Learning? Learning to use a new camera that is at one time a blessing and a curse. Our former camera went missing on our Thanksgiving holiday. I did not want to buy a replacement because I am just like that...reluctant to part with a penny if I don't need to!!
So last night, my new camera arrived via my very helpful and thoughtful daughter. I read through the manual. I know that's a stretch for some of you menfolk out there. I charged the battery for 5 hours as instructed. This morning I took some sample pictures. Aarrgghh!! Lots to learn. I will need to work on the focus and some other features.
In the picture above, the foreground is the finished way-I-want-it-to-be part. In the background you can see the machine quilting in cream of loop-de-loops. It makes the quilt stiff, and I don't like the green dots that are the bobbin thread showing. Live and learn, my friends.
Now that I have a camera, the blog posts are bound to be plentiful.
Have a great day,
~Joan, off to bake tons of cookies and breads for gift-giving

That's quite a chore, but I'm sure you will be much happier when you get it finished. BTW, some women don't like to read instructions either. My sister was given a digital camera some time ago (years) and she has yet to figure out how to use it. I keep nagging her to get with the program, but it doesn't do any good! Merry Christmas!
that looks really cool mommy!
