Another day disappeared...

Spent this morning at the hospital, then most of this afternoon spent on the phone to lovely Adam at our isp who did his very best to sort out my router failure. He didn't manage it but a new one is winging it's way over here by 10.30am tomorrow and DH has managed to get me up and running but not him or DD who use a wireless connection.
I did manage to do a little playing on QuiltPro trying out these colour ways. I could go through the process of scanning the actual fabrics I have, but these are close enough.
I removed some of the outer fabric it 'floats' in and added a very narrow red border, a wider border, another red and the a bias cut striped binding.
It's fun
And it only takes seconds to change it all.
Ruth Parker kindly took some photos of my quilt and sent me this snap of me talking with Ricky Tims. (Note to self, do not carry a shoulder strap like that on a loose top again) It must have happened but I don't remember it (grin).

today

was less than successful. DD locked her keys in her car at work when she needed to get to a doctor's appointment. I lost and eventually found the label for the quilt going to the show in Scotland (repeat after me, 'I must be more organised') The opticians have failed miserably to get my glasses right yet again but this time they rang up and wanted more money. I have been awake since just before 4am (long term insomnia is counter productive to the creative process)
But still I did get the giant feathered star drawn out in QuiltPro so I suppose that's something. Though QuiltPro really didn't want to play nice today. And in the end the quilt to Scotland and Heide's one have gone in the post.
