You have given me something to think about.<BR/><BR/>Recently we discovered an old painted damaged door in our garage. Under the many coats of paint is Tiger wood. How wonderful would frames be made out of that!<BR/>I love your idea! <BR/><BR/>I am also new to blogging and can't always find what I am looking for. I looked at your blog several times before finding the framed quilt block..but we'll both learn!Holeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13724824435789407791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-914103879800300349.post-27148368578369549142008-10-12T22:20:00.000-04:002008-10-12T22:20:00.000-04:00I am nearing my 1 year anniversary in blog land......I am nearing my 1 year anniversary in blog land...I know you will love it as much as I have..A good friend talked me into starting mine and I haven't looked back!

Good on you for starting your blog despite any trepidation- my hint for you is to post your photos as large as possible - we want to be able to see your great designs and work really easily. If my name does get drawn, maybe you could keep the frame for easier posting to Oz!

I would ditto the comment about white type on a black background being more difficult to read. It usually works better to have a dark font on a light background.<BR/><BR/>It looks like your wood carving is a perfect match with your quilting! I especially liked reading about the doll dress quilt you made with your daughter. :-)Tami @ Lemon Tree Taleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06655631671353374029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-914103879800300349.post-63499219241800551022008-10-06T13:41:00.000-04:002008-10-06T13:41:00.000-04:00I think your blog looks great for a biginner, it w...I think your blog looks great for a biginner, it will get easier over time as you keep posting.
