Design wall 4 Jan 2010



This is the start of a trial quilt top.
I have found that there are many seams to match
and will use another design for a charity quilt.






My daughter cut her long hair last your and donated it for wigs.
She has been approached to be a mascot for CANSA Shave-a-thon 2010.
What a difference a hair cut makes.


I also have on my wall 30 blocks for a Charity quilt
using Cure for Cancer fabrics.



Enjoy your sewing

Computer update

Hopefully my problems with the software will be a thing of the past in a few days time.
I will be loading a second operating system onto the laptop so that I will be able to use my embroidery software.
I cannot wait.
Its amazing how much I actually rely and use the software.
I was not aware of it.
One a happier note:
One new car coming up!!
Will be collecting it tomorrow.
Will post a picture soon
Happy sewing,
Susan

Help with computer

I have a new laptop which is wonderful........
except I cannot load my embroidery software.
I am posting a picture of my screen with error in the hope
that someone out there might be able to help me.


This screen pops up after the restart and request that I insert the dongle.

It is verifying the security device in the background but in the
forefront shows an error as follows:
"DATAGATHER
Can not find or run command"
I have to cancel the installation.
My technician says he has never encountered this error.

Please someone help!!

Up and running

The reason for no posts is ...........
a new computer!
My design wall is almost empty except for one lonely Sunbonnet Cathryn!

The sunbonnets have all their borders on and I have run out of fabric.

The signature blocks also need more blue,
so a quick trip to Hillcrest and Westville is necessary.

I am hoping to go on Thursday
Until next week
Happy sewing
