Hi,
Got in my fq's, they are all so great! I have one from Scotland-Jacquie, a lovely "tartan" plaid! One from Ohio-Wanda, a lovely filigree in a mauve and light pink, along with a 4 patch signature block, and I love the fabrics in the block, as much as the fq!! :), and last but not least one that the fabric says was brought from China by her dad, I am having a hard time reading her name, thinking it may be Marne?? It is a lovely deep blue with white dots in a grid pattern, it appears to be hand stamped (so pretty)...I just want to make sure I thank the right people! Finally, a huge thank you to Carsey for organizing this whole thing! Thank you, thank you, thank you to you all!!!
Kif
PS Please add me in for sending in a block for Carsey..

Carrot, In answer to posting pictures: Since the board change I have to open pictures I want to post in "MS Office Picture
Manager" Then in the tools change the size to "web" Save it, then come back to board & post. If you don't have that program I'm sure there are similar ones.
Hope that helps.

I want to thank these ladies whose names did not come up with board names==Kimberley Whispell from Rhinebeck, NY; Sue Barley; Rosalie D'Agastino; Barbara Schwartz; Debbie Langlois; Triolgirl from Germany. All the fabrics were very pretty. I enjoyed this swap a lot.

I REALLY do not understand computers...but I know I do not have Microsoft Office. I have tried every way do resize my pictures and nothing works for me........:o I would need someone to print steps like they were talking to a 2 yr old in order to understand :p

Carrot, There are several free programs online that you can use to resize, edit, etc.
The one I've used & had good results with is: www.pixlr.com
But you can find more with a search.
