July 13th - September 12th 2009
I belong to the Contemporary Quilt Group who once again has arranged that our Journal Quilts is being exhibited. This time at the Minerva Arts Centre in Wales. Each of us has been invited to select four of our 2008 Journal Quilts.
These are the four quilts I have chosen from my Journal Quilts 2008
I have tried to arrange them as they hang in the gallery 2 by 2 but to no avail, so here they are one after the other.
This simple post has taken me more than four hours to make! Very frustrating, as I had to keep reloading pictures that disappeared when I rearranged them. Most times everything would look ok in the preview, but look so differently in the blog itself. What is a preview for then?
Finally a bit like I want it......!
Update: Candied Fabrics said: Try using windows live writer it's free software, but downloaded onto your computer. You hook your blog to it (easy peasy) and then write posts on your desktop, making the pix do what you want, then push publish at the end - everything is just right!
It didn't work - I have a Mac and work in Pages and don't have any Microsoft programs on my machine.
If anyone out there have a similar thing for a Mac, I would really like to know, because this has been very frustrating!
More update: I would like to thank Merete Veian for pointing me in the direction of her friend Ingunn Kjøll, who changed from PC to Mac and therefore no longer could use Live Writer as referred to in the above. She has now found Blogo for Mac and I posted the above post in it.......... there is a free 21 day trial or to buy 25$.

Love these journal quilts - especially the layout in the 1st one.
Try using windows live writer:

it's free software, but downloaded onton your computer. You hook your blog to it (easy peasy) and then write posts on your desktop, making the pix do what you want, then push publish at the end - everything is just right!
I love those quilts, I hope you will have a great show!
Will you be visiting the festival of quilts this year too?
Candied Fabrics, thanks - not sure what 1st one is any more ;O) Things has moved around a lot.........
I shall try to download that writer right now, but am unsure if I can use it as I'm on a mac and use pages, not word. Hope it works, many thanks.
Margeeth, I shall be at FOQ all week....... See you there?
Oh, hadn't realised it was you Robin, unfortunately it doesn't work, I do not have Windows, nor any other Microsoft things........
If anyone out there know of a system that works with a Mac????????
Very frustrating this photo thing...
If you normally choose where to put your photos in uploading mood, try to check the "none" box to the left instead. Then you will be the one in charge when writing and not your pre-made choice.
I knoe of a few who blogs from a mac and they might use another program since they earlier liked writer so much..
This program is not for free, but you can try it first. My friend who teach at college and let her writing class use blogging as a tool has tried it out and she is known for her research. If she recomend it, it's no fuzz.
If you read Norwegian, she blogs here: http://tanketraader-ingunn.blogspot.com/2009/06/blogg-fra-mac-med-blogo.html
the program is blogo:

good luck!
Thanks a lot! I have a go at that.......
I don't normally use the "none" setting, but when I tried it yesterday, the pictures "insisted" on sitting to the very left, and I couldn't move them, nor swop them :O(
Gorgeous! But I imagine the choice was difficult as all your journals are lovely.
Thank you very much, what a lovely complement!
