    I sent you a PM.
    You may have to put your disk that came with your scanner back into your hard drive, and try running it again, then the computer may tell you that you already have a version of the scanner on your computer and then you would have to delete the old information for the scanner and the disk would then put that information back into its' place. Sometimes my computer does that, somehow it just doesn't recognize the program anymore.

    That is how it works on my system, and hopefully this will help you.

But If anyone would be willing to help me figure out how to to this I would truly be greatful.

    Cross fingers gonna try to post the pic. I can't figure out how to scan it and then get it here. I'm gonna work on it. The computer isn't reconizing my scanner. Any how If someone might want to take the task on helping me do fabric Art please please please let me know.
    Hi - I have done one wall hanging that was done from a picture postcard. I enlarged the picture on a copy machine to 8 1/2 x 11 and then copied it onto a transparency (a clear plastic sheet) From there I enlarged the pattern with a black sharpie pen onto a big piece of white butcher paper on an overhead projector. The pattern was easy to trace onto fabric. I used fusible webbing on the back of the fabric and cut and fit the fabric pieces together on a background like a puzzle. I'm sure there are easier techniques.
    If you want to see how awesome a picture quilt wall hanging can turn out - please look at "jupiter's" blog. She's a VERY talented QBer, and president of our quilt guild this year:

    Does anyone know how these pictures are over a period of time? Do they start to fade when washed? I love the idea of the photo's.
