I arrived in Sarasota this afternoon, luggage made it ---and I was whisked off to Punta Gorda by happy quilters!

LOOK!  Palm Trees!  My favorite!

It was a long travel day, and not enough sleep last night ---There were issues with google+ and youtube when I started Quilt-Cam last night.  There was a “yes I have read all of the small print and agree to the terms and licenses blah blah blah” form on my laptop screen OVER the camera view when I logged on.

I checked the box to say “yes I have read all of this blabber and agree” --- but there was no button to hit ENTER!

I finally got it working, and it played back last night when I was done, but all day long I’ve been getting emails and messages of “please fix YouTube-- it isn't playing”.

It seems something happened when they archived the video session after we were done last night.

I can’t fix it – it wasn’t my mistake.

Quilt-Cam is not recorded ON TO my computer, it’s live streaming, so there is no video that I can re-upload.

Google and YouTube do things that I have no control over ---so we heave a sigh and throw up our hands and say “Oh well, we will try it again next time!”

But I’m getting leary – because every time I go to set that cam live and start the feed, knowing you are waiting for it, they are always throwing in some new format, different things, moving things around – and I think they just need to get bugs out and quit mucking with stuff before we go elsewhere!

Needless to say – when it’s broken, please contact YOUTUBE – not me.  Because I can’t fix it

This is the lovely room where I am tapping away tonight.

This is the beautiful view outside of my window!

((Yes, it was a bit of a rainy day, but it felt wonderful to me!))

I got a great email from Theresa and I wanted to share with you the link to her blog and story!  It really made me smile.

But first a bit of background:

Hello Bonnie,

I know you meet lots of people and may not recall who I am, but I was able to take your workshop (Charlotte's Baskets) last year in Glen Falls, NY.  The year prior to that I attended your workshop (My Blue Heaven) in Wellsboro, PA.  I've attached a photo for you to put a face to my name. :)  I'm the REALLY SHORT one wearing green.
 

 
In your spare time (yeah, I hear you laughing), I thought you may enjoy reading a blog post I just wrote today sharing about my experience teaching my 73 year old Dad how to sew for the first time...and the quilt top he made. :)

The link is:  http://quiltandsewforever.blogspot.com/2014/01/teaching-my-daddy-to-sew.html

Go read it!  I guarantee it will make your heart smile – I know it did mine!
 
Thanks for sharing Theresa!
 
And with that I think I’ done for the day.  I will likely curl up and pull out the hexies and relax a bit – I don’t have a machine at my disposal this evening, and actually – quiet hand work is just what this girl needs!
 
Tomorrow is a My Blue Heaven Workshop –and the fun in Florida begins!
