We had a good day today. Went to a family get together for my husband's family and he got to see his brothers and sister and his mom for awhile. Lots of cousins and other family there too. He doesn't get out and see them very often so it was good to get him out of the house.
My Molly has been driving me nuts! She is a German short haired pointer and she is obsessive about what she wants!! LOL I buy these small dog bones treats and she gets a small handful from time to time. I ran out and she kept begging and begging today!! We had to go get a box of them. I told her I think she is addicted to the darn things!! LOL But she is a happy gal now. I tried some other treats but they didn't work for more than a few mins and she was begging again. But she is content now for awhile anyway!
I've been working on some quilt blocks for my quilt block swap on the Quilting Board. I need to get them done and in the mail soon. I bought some teal and lime fabrics today for a quilt block for my June partner Cheryl. Those are her colors. I hope she likes the colors I picked out.
I started a Wall Hanging Swap on the Quilting Board this month and everyone has to make 4 quilt blocks and use them to make their Wall Hanging. I am so excited to see what people do with it.
Right now the quilt blocks are posted for my Quilt Contest for One Quilt Block. If you want to vote go to the thread and see the voting instructions. To vote you have to send your choice to Patrice in an email.

Hi. I just read your post on a quilt forum for Electric Quilt. I am having the same problem as someone in the forum. I can't name a file and open it with EQ5. It gives me an error that it is an invalid file name. I was hoping you might be able to help me.
ReplyDeleteBecause EQ5 is 20 years old it has issues. The newer technology won't support some of the EQ5 functions. That is why you get that. I get it too. You can't start a new file but you can go to an already existing file and click on save as then add the name of the file you want to use. This makes a copy of your first file. Then in your new saved as file delete the contents and you have a new file to use. Using save as makes a copy of your original file so you don't lose the original when you delete the contents of the saved as version as it is a copy not your original.
DeleteIf this is too confusing email me at patchesbyr@yahoo.com and I will do it in pictures so you can see the steps
Hope this helps! Rhonda
