A New Me!

Just so you know.

I've noticed another Clare has emerged in Blogland so I have changed my sign in name to Dordogne Clare. Same picture, different sign in name.

Whilst on the subject of blogs and blogging, I am trying my hardest to get round the rings and keeping up to date with my RSS feeds, but it is getting harder and harder and I get side tracked by a new blogger, or the connection times out, or I get sucked in to doing something else. Please don't give up on me. I am still reading, even if I don't leave a comment. There are so many fantastic quilts to look at these days.

Quilt going well, nearly there with the top and then the border to do. Got some lovely Coats & Clark Multicolour thread yesterday and am deciding whether to do fans or spirals. Which will be the quickest I wonder? This quilt has got to be ready in 2 weeks and I'm having panic attacks that it won't be. I was up at 5.30 am yesterday sewing like mad and finally had to give in at 11.00 pm last night when I started doing the nodding dog bit.

When I start designing/making a quilt, sometimes I cannot see the wood for the trees and it is not until the last few stitches are being sewn that it all comes together in my head.

Are you the same, or can you see it right from the word go?

And on that note I will bid you au revoir. Must get some chores done before settling down with the quilt.

Sorry - no photos. I've tried but a combination of connection and Blogger is making uploading impossible.

Its Arrived

And its brilliant. I love it to bits already. Its an HP Photosmart R727 with docking station.


Spent most of yesterday mucking about taking panoramic shots and fiddling. Now I've just got to work out various other bits and pieces and we are off.



Watch out, watch out, photos galore!

Oh and does anyone know how to use the new widget for the header on Blogger? I've tried and all I get is a blank. What am I doing wrong?

Woo Hoo - Going up in the Listings.

Looking through the referrals on Site Meter which I do from time to time (it is interesting to see how people find me), someone typed "quilts france blogs" into a German search engine and, there, at No 5, was little old me. Bea at Capricorn Quilts was at No. 3 cos she mentioned me when talking about her Leukaemia blocks.

The Qs4L blog was there too, but not as high as this one.

And on that note I am going back to planting out my Geraniums.

Mucking about with Flickr

I have discovered that you can upload photos from Flickr. A bit like Picasa which was/is driving me crazy. Sooooo this is a test post.

This is one of the street lamps on the Pont St Pierre in Bordeaux.


Well, it's done it., It loaded beautifully. I think it is now Flickr instead of Picasa.
