Holiday Post

I am happy to report that the "Blogless me" family is now vacationing in the south. Beautiful weather - about 30˚ but dry (very different from Belgium) and with a light breeze and at night as low as 14˚, so absolutely perfect.

Thanks to all the ladies from Guute's Antique Quilt Club who offered help with my PDF files problem - you are so sweet!

Guute's Button

This will be a very short post and hopefully the last one without pics. It is just for those of you that have struggled to put Guute's button on their blogs.

When I tried it first time round I had trouble sizing it. It was awkwardly cut in half, so I asked some advice from my better half and here's what we came up with:

In the text you see on her blog between

alt="Guute’s Antique Quilt " 

and

add 

width="100" 

100 worked best for me, but you can experiment with other numbers to achieve the best size for your blog. 

Good luck with it!

Giveaways

No, it is not about me having giveaways yet. That will happen in due time ...

Judi at Simply this, that and the other is having a giveaway / pay-it-forward of some Hawaiian fabric left from a quilt she made. Have a look at her blog - lots of yummy things to see.

Nedra at Cactus Needle Quilts is doing a five-day giveaway - each day a couple of beautiful fabrics, buttons, notions, patterns, bags, the list goes on, and on, and on ... Be sure to pay her a visit and leave a comment if you'd like to be in the draw. Friday, July 3th is the last day to take part, so hurry up!

And there is more - Kim from bitty bits & pieces is also generously offering goodies. One item seems quite interesting: Texture Magic. It seems to make the fabric three-dimensional and I suspect there are quite a lot of different effects you can achieve using it. Do visit before Kim's deadline July, 4th.

On the home front - I've been struggling to make the button of Guute's Antique Quilt Club smaller. Just managed to do it and was almost feeling victorious when editing disaster struck again - the blogger editing facilities refused to cooperate and I can't undo some changes to the layout that I 've been experimenting with .....aaah! I hope tomorrow the blogging gods will be kinder to me.

Humble Beginnings

It is official now - I have a blog. So, strictly speaking I am no longer "Blogless me", though for the time being I would not mind keeping the name - I kind of like it. Here I shall show you my progress, or lack thereof,  in my patchwork and quilting journey. 

I would love to know who my visitors are and what they think. Please, let me know you passed by and share your thoughts with me. Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment!
Good luck to me and see you soon!
