Mod Drunk

Mod Drunk is finished! It was my exploration of the design element, EMPHASIS, as part of Savor Each Stitch Book Bee. I started this quilt in October 2015. I described my process in a previous post.

I’ve been hand quilting it since last year and concentrated my efforts during the 100 Day Project. It is my favorite design from the Bee.

New Technology

For Christmas my husband got me a IPad Pro. I tried to use it to create posts. I soon discovered the keyboard was too small for me. For my birthday I got a keyboard to use with the IPad. There were multiple selections. I got a ZAGG Slim Book Pro. The keyboard is not as large as a traditional keyboard but better than the IPad screen keyboard.

I haven’t figured out how to resize the photos. When I click on the photo, it’s like it’s text and not a photo. I changed the size in the HTML tab, but that’s very cumbersome. That’s the thing with new technology, it takes time to learn and it’s frustrating. I won’t give up though.

Cheers to learning something new,

Wanda

Making Plans

I see all the posts about plans for 2017. I’m feeling pressured to get my act together. I’m pretty good at keeping track of appointments and reminders for things I’m supposed to do, but I don’t have a list of possible blog posts or ideas for what I think I should explore in 2017.

That’s why I like taking classes and why I loved the Savor Each Stitch Book Bee.  They make plans easier when there is a deadline.

I have two quilts to finish from the Book Bee so that’s where I’m going to start. I’m hand quilting the quilt from the Emphasis chapter; it’s about a quarter done. The Texture quilt has been deconstructed. That is more than enough for 2017.

It might be nice to take a break from designing and concentrate on these two projects from 2016.
