I am so happy. I put my quilt in the shop to be quilted and told the ladies it was for my neices wedding on the 19. They are going to call me on the 15 to pick it up. I will have just 3 days to get the borders finished. I told you I would get some pics of the machines used to dothe quilting, well, here it is. As you can see, the quilt is rolled onto long poll like thingys and stretched tight. As each section is complete, it is rolled up into the roller on the backside, and then you just start a new section until the quilt is complete. A randon print is sewn inthe the quilt, repeating itself over the whole peice of fabric. It just goes from one end of the fabric to the other. I could have had it quilted in another shop, and they would have charged me quite a bit more and it would have had a custom job and also be done next week, but I just couldnt afford that, the price was prohibitive,125.00, and that wasnt the batting, rememeber, that is the stuffing between the front and back fabric. Anyway, it will be ready in time.
OK, on to other stuff. I am so happy I left town this weekend. It was no kidding, 105 to 110 this weekend. It was only in the low 90's in Santa Cruz. We had a great time. I got to see my family and my neice, who is my same age. I took a bunch of pics and we all were able to share tham back and forth from our little tiny disks. Arent they just so amazing, take 100 pics and store them on a little 1 inch peice of plastic, then add the pics from another 1 inch piece of plastic to your piece of plastic, and you have each have allthe pics taken over the weekend. It is just amazing, when you think it.
Anyway, we ate, swam, and drank this weekend. I did get burned,but not real bad. My head got burned, and that freakin hurts. I think I bumped it sometime, I keep touching a spot that feels like I have an injury. I never got drunk, but i also dont remember bumping my head that hard. For the record, I like to have a few drinks, but I hate being drunk, I usually slow down when I start feeling too much alcohol.
My sisters are finally getting cams on their puters, and i was able to talk to one of them this morning. I loaded the cam for my other sister onto her laptop before i went home on Sunday. I bought a sorta inexpensive cam, 20.00 and a 9.00 mic. I think mine works pretty good. The pic is clear and sound is good. My sisters got 100.00 setup and the pic is really choppy, but clear. Sound is here and there, but good when you do hear it. I think my setup is pretty good, What do you think Amber, the pricey one, or the affordable one. I also found out Im also almost out of memory, and that may be why my puter is going so slow at times. It is a little faster since I downloaded my collection of pics to a disk or two.
OK, this is where I start rambling and sign out before i put you and me to sleep. Have a good day. I am going to put some more pics from the quilt shop in my album if you want o see them.
