How do you post photos? They are on Flickr but I can't figure out how to link them to this box? Thanx Nana Stewart

There is a tutorial I created which you can find here that should help you.

I just answered a PM you sent me and after that I had another thought. I THINK I recall Flickr had stopped allowing hotlinking of photos off their site. If you don't know that terminology (I'm sorry if you do but some are very new and don't know some terms used) Hotlinking would be to post pics on another site such as yours on Flickr and then post elsewhere (like here in the contest or anywhere on the message board) with the link back to Flickr. By doing that it uses bandwidth from Flickr to have the pics show up here and a few of the photo sites stopped allowing that awhile back.

If my memory is correct in that then you will have to follow the tutorial to upload pics from your computer directly to this site.

I just LOVE the quilt for the first entry in the new contest! First of all Welcome and we just love to see New Members posting their wonderful projects! Can't wait to see what everyone comes up with this time!

[StitchinGrandma]

Isn't that gorgeous Dawn? I really love it myself. She did a great job.

[Emma]

Wow that is one beautiful quilt. How many hours went into that!!!!!!

[idesign]

What a beautiful quilt! It will surely be an heirloom for that child.

The quilt is beautiful. What is the name of the pattern that you used to make it?

[ctirish]

All of the entries are so good. I feel inspired to get one of UFO projects done or start a new one. Thank you to all for entering, the inspiration for how to use my designs is wonderful.

I really love the quilt and the colours are perfect. Good job!

[StitchinGrandma]

Katie ~ Those are the cutest baby gifts you made. Your friend is very lucky.

[Kim in Canada]

Fabulously cute baby project! I love it.:o

[susank]

The baby project is lovely - I like how you used the endless function to create a circle with the design - it gives me ideas and isn't that what this is all about!!

[susank]

Kim - nice runner! I have had the fabric to make one for my kitchen table for ages. I'm jealous!

[Kim in Canada]

Thank you Susan.

Charsh,

Welcome to the message board! The outfit that you made for Kate's first birthday is adorable. That little lady bug is always such a hit!

[katiedoodles]

Stewah and Kim,

I sure wish that I had the talent both of you do with your quilts!

[Kim in Canada]

Katiedoodles - Aren't you sweet! Thanks so much for your kind words. Charsh - absolutely fabulous little baby gift. What a nice entry to the contest.

[Charsh]

Thank you Katiedoodles and Kim for the kind words. The entries are always so good, I've always wondered if I could compete.

[Jami Johnson]

Oh goodness, Charsh, why would you EVER doubt whether you could compete?!?! Great entries...as always!

[StitchinGrandma]

Charsh you did a fabulous job on that outfit! It's super cute. I'm sure you will be asked for many more things because you did such a great job on that one. I'm so glad you have finally posted something and posted such a cute entry too. Why would you ever have had the thought you couldn't enter things you do when this is so cute? I'm sure there are many other things you have done that are just as cute.

Hopefully we'll see more posts by you now too. :)

Leslie, great job on the little robot blankie!! I'm so glad you were able to put the cute robots to good use. Thanks for sharing them with us!

[katiedoodles]

Leslie,

I love the blanket you made! Those robots are adorable!

[Leslie]

I loved the robots too, I stitched the other 2 out on burp cloths, then promptly misplaced them, so will add them to the picture when they "turn up". It's that mini-tornado that hits my room every time I'm in the midst of a project, causes me to lose things sometimes.

LOL, Leslie. I think that same mini-tornado has struck my studio too! We'll look forward to seeing them.

I have really been inspired to create a baby quilt for my great niece Summer Joy, after seeing this one. Beautiful!

[Gardenia]

Wow! All of the inspirations are lovely! Now all I need to do is finally buy a machine; I have lots of ideas from here.

Susan - Thanks ever so much for your kind words! No need to be jealous though - it's very easy to make. Lots of patchwork, embroidables.com designs and you're done.
