Ok, I admit it. I am a digital dumbo. I have gone from Computer Literacy Teacher (I kid you not; this was back in 1989-92) to Clueless Computer Dunce. I used to be able to open the cover and point out the various bits to students and trouble-shoot problems. Now the USB port doesn't work and I don't have a clue what to check. I also don't know how my digital camera operates. I used to have a manual camera where I had to set the f-stops, shutter speed and focus before every shot - I managed an entire year in Israel with lots of great shots back in 1981, but now I cannot even take a photo that is in focus, because the damned technology has gone beyond where even a reasonably intelligent person can keep up unless they paddle like the dickens.
Phew. Sorry about that. Didn't realise there was such a rant in me this morning. {Deep Breath}
The USB port at work, works. I'll upload the photos later. (such as they are!)

It's later. I'm at work and here are the pictures:
It's been a long time since I did a traditional bed quilt... but I'm enjoying the quilting of it. I had to wait 4 hours to see the doctor, and it seemed much shorter, as I had this with me. I chose colours and a pattern that my mother likes, as it's for her.
I stuck bits of paper label (the leftover bits after we printed labels for the blood tubes for the clinical trial) onto the quilt as guidelines for the straight line quilting. It helped a lot, they were easy to remove and left no stickiness on the quilt.
The backing is a Da Gama fabric I found some time back. Called "The Little Five", it has images of the Big Five as babies - very cute and my mom loved it.
