sewlinzi Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 Hi all! I'm pretty new and awfully keen. I have set up a webshots thingy and hopefully pasted it in the right place so anyone can have a look. I've had my Milli since the summer and love freehand but can't draw. Haven't a clue how to do pantos - too wobbly. No idea how the Hartley fence works will have to get a book! I covet the ability to do feathers and proper McTavishing but so far I'm getting away with my doodling. Lots to learn and looking fwd to my birthday treat trip to Paducah '08! Best wishes, quilters, LINZI in Scotland x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quiltermidwife Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 Hi Rita, Suzanne, rcck00, Jen and Linzi Welcome to all of you. I\'ve been on this site for a few months now but don\'t have my machine yet, awaiting delivery. You lucky people, however, have your machines already. I am so jealous. Linzi you have been busy and your quilts look amazing. Incidentally I will be up in your neck of the woods next week, staying near Loch Lomond before leaving for the Houston quilt show. Hope to hear lots more from you all as you become more acquainted with your machines. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sewlinzi Posted October 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 Thanks for all your good wishes and nice comments on the quilts. Not all have been done on the Milli - just the silk shawl, ugly orange and blue, girlie one, ocean waves, drunkards path... It\'s lush here cos the climate is cool and quite damp! We are having great autumn weather this week - crisp and bright with lovely colours. I used to hang quilts on the kids\' zip slide but the pig run is now in the way so they have to get hung on a goalpost or a picnic table or even the farmer\'s gate! Can anyone explain why my signature is just a line of computer gobbledegook? Best wishes, LINZI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonnie Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 Linzi, To answer your question regarding your signature....it appears that you are missing part of the URL....you will need to go back in and resave it and try again. Where the 322 is in your signature that should actually be your name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sewlinzi Posted October 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 Thanks, Bonnie. Have got rid of stupid gobbledegook for now. Could not refind where I did the signature so I\'ll just do without it! By the way, is the smiley for mad in the USA angry or crazy? Linzi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonnie Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 Lonzi....it can be used for both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmyhogan Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 Hi LINZI. Thats quite a bunch of quilts! I didn\'t look at all of them but I especially like; Tartan4shop, Hopscotch on line and bflyline. When it comes to Pantographs. I roll mine out and trace over them with my finger first - then, I trace them one or two times with the laser light ( machine not running), then I go away for half an hour or more. After that I come back, and if I feel comfortable with the pattern I start the machine and make the first pass. It is like early years in school and learning to color inside the lines.
