tying quilts

until i get better at this blogging, i'm going to post to the whole board like it used to be rather than in the comments section. my computer is really slow and it takes forever if i click on the responses and then have to go back to the "main" board to continue reading. i'm also going to play a bit to get a feel for how things work.

i use pearl cotton when i tie quilts, i think it's #8. it is a nice weight and comes in skeins, i think michaels used to carry it in a nice variety of colors. i haven't tied a quilt in quite some time tho. there is also a lighter weight #5 that people use for blanket stitch that would probably work just as well, especially if you didn't want the ties to show quite as much.

i'm also going to try to post a picture again. i tried a few nites ago but it wouldn't let me. there is a size limit, so maybe my pictures are too big from my digital camera. my cameraphone takes smaller resolution, so i'm gonna try to post from it. wish me luck, and if i'm successful maybe those others having problems can see if that might be their problem. YEA!!!
