Default OT its really ME!

Posting on DH's puter till mine is made operational again. It got fried
during a brown out. I hate this. Mikes puter is set up all wrong for me and
it keeps insisting I am him. I promise, I'm me.
While we were out of electricity and its usual diversions this morning I
got the urge to piece so took some white and yellow nine patch blocks that
were already made, put them together with some solid yellow and a center
blue block, and appliqued some basic flower and leaf shapes to the resulting
block, button hole stitched around them. Later, when the power was back on
the block got machine quilted. Its a lovely, kind of old fashioned looking
design and has triggered the desire to do more applique on Megs quilt. I had
been seriously stuck as to what to do with the largish blocks of solid
yellow going between the pieced blocks. Now I know!! Yay! The pillow will be
for her bed and all the fabrics coordinate with the quilt. I wish I could
share a picture of this charming block. I will post it later when my puter
is fixed.
Ok. I guess I could have posted this as on topic but it really is supposed
to be a whine or whinge about my computer woes. G*d forbid I should ever
post about anything truly quilty! ;-)

First you must prove you are who *you* claim to be, then I will happily
vouch for my own authenticity. :-)

Ha! This person has been fooling me for months! Even sent me a pic of a
woman so I'd think "she" was real!
