Episode 50 Photos on Fabric with Tami!

Another wonderful listener interview! I hope you enjoy hearing Tami’s story and her advice about working with photo fabrics.

How many programs until it works???

So – Jarrod did find the fancy software and then I did watch all of the tutorials and figured it out.  Then it didn’t work! At least not on my piece of laptop…

So – I tried something else – no good; picture was too grainy.

The next one? no good; the mouse pointer doesn’t show in the video.

The next one? no good; the sound, oy, the sound issues…

So the quest for new tutorial software continues.

I am SO sorry that it is taking so long to figure this out and get a new session of Seams of Opal out to you guys!  And because of all of the time spent doing the above – I haven’t time to record a podcast either.

Catch 22 anyone?

Oh, and Max fell at the park and knocked out his 2 front teeth. Poor kid.

Free motion quilting with Freezer Paper!

On episode 49 I talked about 1 of my newest uses for Freezer Paper. I absolutely love this! It makes me look like I can actually free motion quilt:)

Here is the quilt sandwich, prepared for quilting and tucking into the machine. Please note – I DID start from the center and worked my way out to the sides. I simply ironed the freezer paper shapes onto the quilt top and FMQ’d around them… so easy.

Thought I’d share a GREAT sale I came upon!

e-Quickie from Quilter’s Quarters – Weekly Specials and More!.

It’s a love hate thing

If you guessed technology – then you’re right.

When it works, it really really works and when it doesn’t it’s horrid. (I knew I little girl you had a little curl…)

Anyway – I am DYING to post the next and then the final portions of the Seams Of Opal tutorial. I have recorded at least, oh, let’s say 5 times. And each time – horrid.

Jarrod has found me new software to use (thanks, honey) and I just need to learn how it works. It’s um.. well, let’s just say a lot more ‘fancy’ than the last piece of !@#$ software I was using!

So it’s coming – it certainly isn’t for lack of trying….

Can-I-Hav-A Hallelujah OY!
