Good Days Often Require A High Price!

.
Just when I'm getting a little rest and beginning to enjoy life at the moment, the next thing arrives!  Right after I finished blogging about successfully tailoring my daughter's prom dress and had two days of no transcription work sheduled ahead of me, my computer crashed.  Lovely.  Because I work all day and all night (seemingly) online, this happens about every 2.5 to 3 years.  I do go through computers!  This time, I have the backup of another computer purchased last year and a backup drive that has all my stuff, but there is still the big switch.  So, that's what I've been doing since Friday night.  So then, no prom photos to share yet.

However, I am happy that Margaret of Q4 (my nickname for her blog) has posted about a quilt she recently designed for her child's teacher which included a little embroidery from my end.  She sent me the center block of her quilt, and I personalized it for her.

Margaret is a recent long-arm quilting machine artist and has really been honing her skills.  Every quilt she "quilts" looks better than the last.  Look close at how she scrolled around the embroidery in the center block.  It's such a nice tight scroll.  You'll have to take a look through her blog and then send her one of your quilt tops to long-arm. 

I sent Margaret a quilt top at the holidays that came back lovely.  I'm supposed to be finishing the binding on it for Jacquie's Spring to Finish Challenge.  If all these surprising, mindbending payments for nice days will STOP so I can think, maybe I'll meet that challenge.  Until next time, you can picture me installing all my work and embroidery software onto my backup computer and hoping that a couple of sticks of new memory in my lovely Dell will restore the other one! 

P.S.  I'm posting this without spellcheck, which I don't like to do.  Presentation is everything!
