Technology & Me (week 3)

Six months ago I didn't even know what a blog is and now I have one! I really only made it because I had to for work but it is fun. Members of my family want me to show them how to make one, that is funny! To top this off I even bought a MP3 player today, I must be learning something.

I have been exploring Flickr a bit more and made a "stamp", which was pretty easy. I decided to load a picture from a Queensland holiday we had, don't you just love the steps? Sorry I can't remember where they are.
I will stop here and make a "trading card" which I will add to this post. I think I will add another holiday photo, .... a few days later - well there it is my first trading card. Wouldn't you just love to be sitting there enjoying that view? I know I would.

Learning About Flickr

Today I have been browsing through a web site called Flickr, this site is a photograph hosting site. It looks like it might be a very useful tool. The photographs can then be accessed by your family and friends. Of course in my opinion there is nothing like good old photo albums, but this could be the next best thing.

On a more quilty note, I am still working on the Double Wedding Ring Quilt, I guess I am about 1/4 of the way. However this weekend I will be making a patchwork bag. This bag I will send onto a person in my online pacthwork group as an Easter Swap, I will in return get one done by someone. It is called A secret sister swap because it is a secret! The group I belong to is an Australian-based, vibrant, easy-going group of quilters with members from all around the world. It is a really active group and we discuss everything from patchwork to warts, to goats and all else between.

18th March........

Helen's Blog

Hello

This is my first attempt at a blog! I will tell you a little about my hobby. I have been patch working for 20 + years, the hardest part of this hobby is to find the time. I started by doing a sampler class in Western Australia when we moved there. It was initially a way to meet people in the area, however from that class on I was hooked. At the moment I am working on a Double wedding Ring quilt, it is rather slow going as I am not used to sewing curved seams. I hope to have it finished in the next few months. Generally I hand or machine quilt my work but I have decided to get this professionally quilted as there is a lot of white space.

The picture I have added is not my quilt but similar to the Double Wedding Ring I am working on!
