I’m still working on the same quilt I showed you a couple of weeks ago. There’s progress, but it’s been slowed because of another project I had to get done — and it has a deadline. This project isn’t a quilt, but it’s related. You see, about twenty-five years ago (yikes!) I set up a web site on the old Geocities platform. I managed to migrate that site to my own domain sometime soon after we moved here twenty years ago, but I really haven’t changed much about it. The software I’ve been using to add new quilts to the site is old. Really<\/em> old. So old, in fact, that it will no longer be supported when the new MacOS is released this fall. Naturally, I’ve known about this for a couple of years, but I kept procrastinating and not doing anything to take care of things. The problem, of course, is that I will no longer be able to use the software to update or change the site. Oops.<\/p>\n

\"Echoes\"<\/a>So I’ve been working on a new site, which will be at the same address as before, once it’s finished. But — oh, boy! — this project has been a real head-scratcher and hair-puller! I think<\/em> it’s finally about ready to upload, but I’m contemplating a few more “tweaks”. While I contemplate, though, I’ve made some progress on my quilt project — which has helped me stay sane. \ud83d\ude09 I have just one more vertical seam to get the main portion of the quilt put together, and then I’ll add borders and begin the lengthy process of the machine quilting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
