LiveJournal was having an attitude problem, and any time I tried to post anything, it would just let the last two or three lines of my entry show up.  I refuse to become one of those blog people who think having a blog is really cool, but after about three weeks get bored, and never write again.  That&#8217;s just no fun.  Hopefully we&#8217;ll have more fun and excitment here!<br \/>\nBut on the up side of all things fun and deeelightful: I&#8217;m a few steps closer to finishing my Wedding Star quilt.  The main quilting is done, and the binding is about half way finished.  After that I&#8217;ll finish it by quilting the border, and that will be eveything.  I am pleased that it only took about a month or so to quilt the stars and diamonds in it.  That&#8217;ll mean that I&#8217;ll only be working on this quilt for roughly another six months or so.  I feel like I&#8217;m trying to fly through it since I&#8217;m getting eager to do more work on my Apple Core quilt.  Yeah, I think I promised that one to my parents only oh&#8230; two years ago.<br \/>\nOne other thing.  I happened to stumble across some high-tech quilting stuff this week.  I was flipping through this month&#8217;s issue of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.qnm.com\">Quilter&#8217;s Newsletter Magazine<\/a> and I found an ad for quilting information at <a href=\"http:\/\/h30039.www3.hp.com\/quilting\/home\/index.php\">Hewlett-Packard<\/a>.  It turns out that HP super into the fabric printing, and some of it seemed really interesting.  I think it would be a really great way to print labels for a quilt, that wasn&#8217;t so super detailed.  There&#8217;s no way I&#8217;d ever use it for something I entirely hand pieced and quilted, but it would be especially good for a kid&#8217;s quilt.<br \/>\nAnd one more thing, besides the last one more thing. Sort-of related to quilting; I think I found my perfect quilt rack.  We got money from my Granny to buy a quilt rack when we got married last October, and so far, we&#8217;ve still not bought one.  But today, I found a perfect one at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.crateandbarrel.com\/itemgroups\/11492_0.asp\">Crate and Barrel<\/a>.  It&#8217;s perfect.  All of the ones I had seen so far were really country, woody ones.  And as many people know, I have a problem with woodiness.  It&#8217;s perfect, and it must be mine!  Get out the AmEx, I&#8217;m shopping tonight!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After a brief hiatus from this little blog, I&#8217;m back with more quilting uselessness.
