I am actually very new to quilting (but not to collecting fabric I love) so this is my first technical quilt to be started and finished.
I haven't actually been "taught" how to do any of this either, I bought the best sewing machine I could find, I have all of this fabric, I bought quilting books and read them and I've watched youtube videos.
Then I got out the fabric, the iron, the ironing board, the cutting mat, the rotary cutter and started ironing, measuring, cutting and sewing.
Now it is on to the quilting part of the quilt on the machine which I am going to start as soon as Mr. CSD calls me back and we finish chatting.
There are times, like now that I wish Mr. CSD was not to technology challenged.
I want him to watch a youtube video, I sent him a link in text that goes straight to the video and all he has to do is click the link then click the little gray arrow thingy in the circle and watch the video.
Guess who can't get the video to play?

LOL... I think the tech challenged types are a dying breed.. so to speak.... my dad is just the worst I grew up with technology.. but kids today know nothing but tech.
When I say I grew up with it I mean in the sense that I've always had a technical type job since my 20's this is way back in the early 90's... the web as we know it sort of took off in the mid to late 90's..... now it's ubiquitous, not so much back in the day.
During the 70's and 80's.. universities relied on the INTERNET to share data, but the INTERNET then wasn't no where like it is now... the military actually commissioned the first "INTERNET" as a way of dealing with strategic war games and dealing with sharing of data's among various branches of the armed services.
Tell Al Gore to put that **** in his pipe and puff on it......
Applying for jobs has become synonymous to brushing my teeth at this point. I survived on 1 cup of noodles and 1 cup of veggies today .
Lol, hang in there, Adi.

Lol! It's just that you sound very experienced at it.
I "inherited" a sewing machine a while back. I've always done basic sewing -- like repairs, hemming, stuff like that -- but, since I got the machine, I bought a couple books, too, to learn how to make some basic things. Haven't really completed the projects yet, lol.
I love to create things, so I just keep trying all kinds of new things to see if I find something I really love in particular. Jewelry, crochet (you try to buy a swimsuit cover-up or something, it's expensive!), home décor. I like to draw my own Christmas cards, but haven't done that for a few years. I'm also contemplating learning a couple of languages, like Italian, French, but not sure if I'll stick with it. I like to learn things on my own rather than taking a class, but then it's easier to blow it off, lol.

I swear to you, if I didn't know Chow, I probably wouldn't be here talking to you right now. I had absolutely zero interest in computers, and I'm quite sure, if I had, that I would/could not have put in the work to learn them.
Even now, I'll ask him a basic question and he just looks at me with this incredulous look on his face. Lol! "We've gone over this!"
I just got off the phone with him and he was able to actually watch the video.....personally I think he found a 7 year old to show him how to play it on his iPhone...LOL
There was a thread floating around about karma and I know I posted in it and so did SD...
I've been on Face book a bit more these days and in doing so have sort of reconnected a bit with some of the dudes I used to hang with in my single days back in my 20's.
One of the guys was a bit of a sexist jerk... not really bad, but of all of us he was the one that was probably a bit of a macho A hole that wasn't always the best toward women.
It turns out that he's got two beautiful daughters... really pretty young girls that are in High school.
Chow, you should see me when my 73 year old Mother says "I can't get facetime to work how do I turn it on?"
This would be the facetime that I set up for her on the iPad that Mr. CSD and I bought for her that worked when I handed it to her.
So I ask her, "Have you changed any of the settings?"
my Mother: "Well no, I didn't change any of the setting I just changed my email and created a new Apple ID is all".......
Good night mags. BTW, what happened to your dad's 4 legged friend who got hurt ? Is she being taken care of now.
No, Adi. She died instantly. Her neck was broken. Thank you for the concern though.
Also, it was my friends dad's dog. My dad is dead too.

We came home tonight and could instantly tell something was majorly wrong.

Oh my. I'm so sorry, you two. How awful.
What is with the death lately on here!?

Same here, CSD. I like to think of myself as the Cliff Claven of CD.
Of course.....you have no idea who that is, because you don't watch TV. Unless you were watching it when "Cheers" was on. lol
