In other news, my laptop finally died on me. I can't boot it up at all anymore. It served me well and I am really missing it these past few days. I ordered another laptop and now I wait until it arrives. I could have bought one locally, but the models that were offered in the brand I like weren't giving me features I desired. I can't afford a top of the line computer with all the latest and best technology, but I don't want one with a low end processor either. One day I hope to try a Mac, but right now that isn't going to happen. I've got too much software that I need that will only work on a PC.
So in the meantime I've been using my old desktop computer. Just getting the photo above ready for this blog post was a challenge as I don't have my usual Photoshop software to prep photos. I am having to use an old version of Photoshop elements and while many of the features are the same, the interface/workspace/location of everything is much different. This desktop computer is AS. SLOW. AS. MOLASSES. also, and that makes for even more frustration. Sigh! I hope you are having a great weekend. I've been busy quilting on my poppy panel quilt. Yay!
This is really cute Terri! And I think the spiral quilting would be perfect.
ReplyDeletebummer about the laptop :( I love this quilt - there is so much movement in the flowers. They really look as if they're moving across the surface. At first I thought the white circles were part of the design - I think they look really cool!
ReplyDeleteI like the white circles--a lot. And the tiny squares at the bottom. What size is this piece?
ReplyDeleteJoanne, in it's current, unfinished state, it measures approximately 44" x 53". Thanks for commmenting!
ReplyDeleteThe quilt looks wonderful. Lucky you aren't in TOO much of a hurry. I hate slow computers too.
ReplyDeleteI love it! And especially the bottom border....perfect!
ReplyDeleteYour complementary color pallate, & clean design just sings! It's wonderful Teri!
ReplyDeleteIt's looking great! I feel your paint. I can read a few blogs between the ups and downs of our internet service!
ReplyDeleteWes's computer has been freezing up on him too much lately for his comfort so today he bought a new one.
ReplyDeleteHe dropped me off at Target and by the time I had picked up 3 pairs of slacks, tried them on and was headed to the register, he called me to tell me he was waiting in the parking lot to pick me up.
I could not have made a computer decision that quickly; clearly we are very different animals. I could hardly make pants decisions that quickly!
Terri, that quilt is so fabulous! I love what you're doing lately!
ReplyDeleteTerri - the white circles make the whole quilt come together - love it!
ReplyDeleteThis quilt is so pretty -- I love the colors but the white circles remind me of hail or (gasp) snow! Still, it is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThe square are a wonderful addition!!
ReplyDeleteI'm really liking how you are designing this quilt. It is a very winning combination.
ReplyDeleteAhh I've been dying to make a poppy quilt - this is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI love this series. I really like the bottom border on this one and the color combination of blue and orange is one of my favorites.
ReplyDeleteThis gradient panel series is one of my favorites -- love the colors and design. Can't wait to see the quilting!

Your quilt is so lovely, just beautiful! I know all about the computer frustrations, I've had them myself this past summer. I know a little about IT things because I have jumped in many times at work when needed. I know enough to get into trouble...lol. Good luck and enjoy your new computer!
ReplyDeleteThe design, colors, border, everything is perfect! I too thought the white pieces were part of the finished quilt.
ReplyDeleteOhhhh a Mac would be nice to try out!
I love your quilt Terri. I've been re-charging my batteries and been going round my faves for a change.
ReplyDeleteSo you still need a light for the Kindle? I would like one for exactly the same reason. DH cannot sleep while I have the light on. I just don't understand men :) He still knows it's on with his eyes closed!
