Hello Jan, Stitchin Fingers is a great community isn't it? So much inspiration and so much eye candy. I'm still figuring out all that can be done, explored, uploaded etc on this site.It was yesterday that I figurd out how to expot pics from my flickr site to my page here on Stitchin Fingers - you learn something everyday.
Hi Jan, thank you for replying to my message - I'm glad to hear you are 'plugging away' - that's how I'm going along too. One benefit of having to wait for your daughter to post your photos is that you've got extra time to do some more work on your samples! I must admit I'm looking forward to that fourth week where there is no new stitch, as I've seen so many examples on other people's work that I want to try.
Hello Jan, just wondering how you are going with the weekly TAST samples - have you managed to do any of them? I'm trying to encourage TAST group members to post photos of their work - if they've done any, of course!
Hi there Jan
Lovely to met you too.
The standard of work and designs on this site are just beautiful.
I would love to see the project you are working on when you have completed it. It sounds lovely.
I am working on a blue scrappy quilt that is worked on the diagonal and is a bit of a challenge . I shall add it to my blog when i am finished.
I have also just started an on line quilting group and we will start to swap FQs soon. let me know if you would like to join us.
Hi Jan, I just left a message for you on the TAST Group forum, then came over here to learn a bit more about you. I am also 60 years old, but I'm on the other side of The Pond, so I can't offer to pop over and photograph your stitching projects!
Hi Jan, Thanks for your comment. I added one at the photo in reply. Still not entirely sure how the site works in terms of avenues for communication.
I spent five years in Indiana studying at the seminary at St. Meinrad Archabby. Are you familiar with it? They do great calligraphy and it's a beautiful monastery with some great fellas who are monks.
