Congratulations Mike and Wendy...All the best of the best. Go with God's Blessings. Mike I would like you to unsubscribe me from AOQ..Thanks for the service. I had fun meeting new people. I have no time to be on the computer. Also we are hoping to get a new one sometime in the future so I am cutting all contacts and starting over...

Mike, I understand about the posts numbers to get to the free pattern.  But I don't know what the accumulation of points is for.  Can you give me some clarification on this.  I do enjoy the site.  I probably won't chat online, it just eats up the time!  But appreciate all the quilters.

Mikey......I tried to send you a private message, but it would not let me.  The screen just sort of bleached out.   Anyhow.  It has been decided that you must sew something for the blocks for Nina.  It was your idea that got us doing this, so it is only fair that you participate.  We have all decided that if you choose not to join, we will come after you with pirate costumes and swords.   Your mother will teach you to do a very basic block, if she can stop laughing long enough to teach you.   So go pick out some pretty fabric and get busy!!!  :)

I totally agree and have taken your notice and posted something. Its about time I do abit of quilting... LOl! As for your issue writing me a private message, I have not had that issue. However we have been getting a number of bugs that are related to a change that needed to happen. I will watch for this issue to arise again, and attempt to cause it to happen! Happy Quilting and enjoy the site.

Hi Mike,

Just wanted to let you know that I do not see "Live Chat" on my screen, and I'm using Firefox...  Hmmm..

 

Comment by Admin

The live chat will not be up until around this Monday, maybe Tuesday, so that my Mom can be apart of the official release and pre-test on the live server.

Hey Mike,

  Nice job with the website.  I have several Drupal sites but have only been working with Drupal for about a year now.  Your site has some features that I haven't played with yet but look pretty cool.  I would be interested in picking your brain about some of it one of these days. 

Oh, by the way,  I know it seems like there aren't any other male quilters but I know several so know that you are not alone.  :)

please don't send me any more messages about politics and wanting my opinion.  i gave it once.  like i said before this is a quilting site.  i don't think i would get info about quilting from a political site.  politics and religion are 2 subjects i don"t discuss.  i believe my opions are mine and better kept to myself.

On your profile is a tab that says "Notifications", in that tab WAS a entry for the thread you are mentioning. The emails you receive are updates for the thread. By default, you subscribe to any thread you reply to. This keeps you up to date on what is begin said about the topic. I have gone into your Notifications setting and removed the notification for the thread in question. In addition you may edit how often you get updates by going to your "Edit" tab in your profile. You will see a green dot next to the "Watch Topic" button on the bottom of any topic, quilt, blog, etc that you will get notifications for. If you click on this button, you can unsubscribe to that thread. The green dot will then go to RED meaning you will not get emails that update you to the topic! I do not personally send out such notifications. The subscriptions are set by the system and managed by you. In addition on the bottom of every email is a link that will direct you to the place where you may manage these notifications!

Mike, I needed to know how to get around in Gallery a little better than I have been. I go in and get into the middle about 20 some pages then I go into comments on something and it is not easy to go back to the previous page that I was on. The back to arrow key does not always work for me. I enjoy look ing at everyones postings in Gallery. Also I am not understanding quite yet about reviewing private messages. Although I have not received any and that is ok but I did not understand what Pam was talking about or understand your explanation on it.  And.....I wanted to leave a cute picture and note on Pam's guest book today and did not know if it was possible!...........Thanks for your help and I need to sign off for it is late...good nite and I will hear from you when ever.  Betty

There is allot here... So I will answer what I can, but I would hope you would answer the post here! Currently there is no way to post pictures in the guest book. I was mistaken in pointing to the private messages, there is no link. I will set up one within the day (hopefully)... As for the getting back to the original page, I am not certain what is going on. I however would suggest using the tab feature in your browser. To do this, right click on the post you want to visit, and then it will open the post into another tab. There are some problems with how the site is working. I am not happy with it, and will be upgrading the software to hopefully fix some of the issues you present. I hope that this will eventually solve your issues... As for future questions on how the site works, its best to go here! http://www.allourquilts.com/content/faq-frequently-asked-question-or-website-problems therefor I can categorize all of the issues in one place and start fixing them!

Mike, Everything worked out for the posting of Grandma's Quilt. Thank you for the great instructions. I am feeling a bit more confident about moving around the site and not out there in the dark. Thanks for turning on the lights.  Betty

Mike, Sorry for all of the difficulty here. I tried to post something on a blog with a picture and the pic. never showed up!? I had tried to down load several but to no avail. I notice that my guestbook is not the same as yours and nora's and Sue's. I have no message box. Why am i having so much trouble? What is an Auto thingy? I only deleted conversation in my blog! Did I not warn you that you are the smart one when it comes to computors and I am not computer savey? Help..Where that road map for dumb people any way? I AM SORRY; I have so enjoyed this site but I am lost .  Sorry .....Betty

I will personally contact you with an email as a response to this post, and provide as much answers as I can. As far as how to do things, we are creating a help document, and hopefully some video's on how to do some things.

Mike, Thanks for being there for help. I think that I did a big NO NO on my space.  I tried to clean up somethings so that I could keep an eye on my blog about Grandma's quilt. I wanted just conversation on finding info on the findings of this pattern block. I noticed that points were going down on everyone and mine as well. I do not care about my points but I feel bad about the loss of everyone Else's. Please forgive me if I have missed things up and made more work for you.  How do I keep up with all the conversations w/o having to go through all the pages. I like keeping everything organized and cleaned up. I am learning as I go but screwing up as I go. Sorry to be such a problem. Please help me in learning on how to move around on this fun site and not get lost!! I feel so dumb. How do I go about setting up a message box in my guest book such as this so people can come and leave an answer to my questions that I am seeking?    Oh delete this after you read this, I do not want anyone to see how dense I am.... =(  Help  Betty

I was gone as a result of some changes in my life (Moving, Getting Married, Home Improvements, etc.)!  I have had a Ball this summer doing some MASSIVE home renovations projects, and really have felt GREAT!  I even lost 20lbs!

Now that Winter is coming, I will be on, More and More...  I still have Marrage Plans and a Move to finalize.  I have a few more home improvement projects that need the final touch ups, and more work on the house is always available.

Here is a picture of My Uncles Dog!  His name is "Boston" and the picture is exceptional.  He is an armature photographer and I would put this as some of his best work!  Of course I am biased towards photo's with DOGS in them!  Especially Family Dogs!  But I think it is of exceptional quality to stand on its own!  He sent this to me while we were talking about marriage and Wendi.

I could not spend the night over Wendi's house so I sat up all night watching Movies and TV.  I took Buddy out this morning (or night), and Buddy came face to face with a skunk!  I didn't see it at first, then the white tail came up and I yanked hard on the leash.  He turned and I was afraid Buddy got sprayed!  However the skunk just walked off!  They are pretty with their white and black colors I just prefer that me and Buddy look at them from a distance!

Well on my Birthday I got my first taste of quilting....  As you can see I did all the work, but I SCREWED UP MY BUTTING of the seems (bottom image)!  I also fussed cut the center as the users here said I should!  My end block was 1/8 to big, so it may have to be trimmed.  I was very surprised, it was not painful and actually had some fun with my Mom!  I was dreading it so Much!

Well I am no longer a outsider.  I am a pro-quilter.  I will be giving lessons every few days from now on!

I got this quilt for Xmas 2008 (a few days ago) and am very happy with it.  My Mom (Sue) made it, and it features a Main pattern of Dogs in the center with a border and then a frame of other earthly tones and dog patterns around the sides.  I like this quilt, though I feel my Dog Buddy has used it more of it then me!!  Hes a bit LAZY sometimes :)

Section Of Funeral Tent of An Egyptian Queen

THE origin of the domestic arts of all nations is shrouded in mystery. Since accurate dates cannot be obtained, traditional accounts must be accepted. The folklore of any country is always exceedingly interesting and generally has a few kernels of fact imbedded somewhere in its flowers of legend, although some of our most familiar household objects are not even mentioned by tradition. Spinning and weaving, however, are very generously treated in the mythology and folklore of all nations. Nearly every race has some legend in which claim is made to the discovery of these twin arts.  read more »

The Milwaukee Handcraft Project began in 1935 as an experiment aimed at employing workers who were considered unemployable because of age or disability. The project soon became a thriving business, employing up to 900 workers who made rugs, draperies, furniture, wall hangings, and toys that were purchased by public institutions such as hospitals and schools. The wall hanging displayed here was given to Eleanor Roosevelt by the project.  read more »
