Hey everybody, I’m back from Maine and wanted to get a post up quickly to make it in time for the link up on The Sassy Quilter.
I took along my sewing machine and the stack of triangles and sewed this baby together at night after the kiddos went to bed. I’m not sure if it was the unseasonably warm weather in Maine or just all the fun we had hanging out with my sister, but bedtime was after 10pm most nights, cutting into my sewing time major! I just squeaked in this top the night before we left.
I also brought along this stack of triangles and was able to arrange them using my sister’s huge upstairs as a “design floor.”
I won’t get a second quilt done in time for the big parade of triangle quilts in two weeks, but I thought I’d make another in purple, black, and gold for my BIL. Any guesses what football team he likes?
About a month ago my computer had a huge crash and Picasa lost all my photos from the past few years. No big deal because they are all on my hard drive, but now I need a new hard drive because there is no room left. I’ve been using a free trial from Photoshop and have to make a decision…Picasa or Photoshop??? I’m just wondering if anyone recommends one over the other. I am leaning towards just reinstalling Picasa when I get the new hard drive. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
love your triangle quilt top Jamie. That pop of yellow is fantastic!!! How are you planning on quilting it?
ReplyDeleteWow, your top turned out great. Love that little constellation print in your close-up photo!
ReplyDeleteYou went to Maine? We used to live in Maine. It must be mud season there now. I miss the fall!
ReplyDeleteJamie,you have such an eye for picking colors that play nice together. Your quilt top turned out so pretty. I love both the bits of yellow and the constellation print! Glad you made it home safely!
ReplyDeleteLovely! Love the colours.
ReplyDeleteWow, lovely triangles and really neat stitching.
ReplyDeleteLove your triangle quilt! I made one last year and it was so fun! I have no advice regarding photoshop vs. Picasa. I have photoshop and never use it. I just have my photos on my hard drive, and I usually edit (crop, etc.) on my phone before I transfer them....because I'm lazy like that.
ReplyDeletelove the colours you chose Jamie, and all the triangles line up so nicely :-)
ReplyDeleteThis looks awesome! I love the colors!
ReplyDeleteYour triangle top looks wonderful. As always I love your fabric choices. I don't know anything about picasa or photo shop so I'm no help. I use Flickr for my photos.
ReplyDeleteI would say Photoshop but that's just me lol
ReplyDeleteCool triangle quilt!!!
