Pineapple in Purple, for REAL, this time - no more complaints, for now

 Computer is home from it's hospital stay - the Photo App had disappeared - how could that have happened?   Plus a few other issues from ME trying to fix things, making a bigger mess.   8-(    It seems that every year, I have to take it for some kind of R & R at the local computer hospital, and get "something" fixed.  Computer physicians are very kind and diplomatic and never say things like "operator error".  


Yes, another Pineapple, Scrappy, and mostly in shades of purple.  Center quilting design was a series of paisleys (I quilt on my DSM).  Just cannot resist Pineapple Quilts, especially when we end up with so many strips.  The binding was completed by machine, with a flange.  One problem is that I had the entire border all nicely quilted with a nice meander and even after one side, I had begun to doubt that decision.  Guess I was on GO and didn't stop until it was DONE -- and it looked terrible!  The quilting itself was quite decent - it just was NOT a good choice  in that border so I removed it all and redid with some simple straight lines -- so much better and simpler.  

Quilt Guld restarts in a few weeks after summer vacation.  This year I'm giving a Trunk Show and also teaching a workshop on the Kaleidoscope ideas.   It's always lovely to get back to that routine.

    1. Thank you Wanda - these pesky electronics are wonderful when working but so irritating when not! "These are the times that try women's souls" or something like that!
