It's Alive!



Wow. So much has happened in the past few days. A month ago I formed unSpooled, LLC, but hadn't quite finished everything up. Tonight I'm on the road, traveling to North Carolina to become a Tuffetsource affiliate instructor, Friday I'm going to the International Quilt Festival in Chicago, and next week is Spring Break. So, I really wanted to get some things done before this two week period. Of course, life being as it is, I didn't get some things done until just last night. One of them is this website. I've been working on it since the middle of February, but wasn't quite ready to pull the trigger. But here we are!

I'm using Weebly to host, and for the most part, their templates are reasonably easy to use. Though I have a history in IT, I've been so far removed from it that my knowledge just isn't that useful any more. It's like being a really good switchboard operator and being given a smartphone. Luckily, so many things are just drag and drop, it's not a problem. I may play around with templates until I settle on the right one.

I also may copy over some of my posts from My Feed Dogs Are Down, mostly the ones that give advice or instruction. I may feature these as my very own little Throwback Thursday.

In the meantime, my Meg's Garden quilt was given Viewer's Choice in the Madison Modern Quilt Guild's exhibition at the Sun Prairie Quilt Show on Tuesday. The pattern is Meg's Garden from Don't Look Now.

While at that show, I got to docent for the first time, which meant I got to be one of the white glove ladies. I also got to know one of my fellow MMQG members while she co-docented (we're saying that's a word). That gave me the chance to really look the quilts that other members had entered. Seeing

them multiple times gave me time to really appreciate different things about them.

Until next time, which I'm sure will be a tuffet update, please enjoy a slideshow of the work of the Madison Modern Quilt Guild!
