What I've been working on.

Ok, so it's just a very simple "I Spy" made with 4.5 and 2.5" squares. I
also add pictures of the parents on these quilts.
http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/...53918257ZzdWdM One
of my first ones.
I can't tell you how much time I've spent (a lot!) cropping, enhancing and
generally fussing with these photos. I had one set printed on fabric when I
noticed a red eye reflex that I hadn't noticed on the uncropped version.
Sigh...started over. Oh well....I'm getting closer to a good set of
pictures. The baby shower is in just over a week. It's going to be close.
I HAVE figured out that for my printer (Epson 5800) the best pictures are
printed on a "Heavy matte paper" setting. So all that time and ink hasn't
been in vain.

Kathyl, adding pictures of the parents to an I Spy is a scathingly brilliant
idea. I'll remember to do that. We were testing my new scanner last night
and the picture we were testing with seems to have come out rather anemic by
the bright light of day. Wonder what setting change would make the pictures
not so pale-faced?
Connie, if you really want to enhance your ability to nag, you could take a
few lessons from any Yorkie. If yapping, doing the spinning-out kicky
dance, and the Dancing Bear imitation fail, Yogi has added a fine touch to
his nag routine. Lately, he's noticed that a gentle pat with his paw on the
human under siege is very effective. When he was a wee tiny little beast,
we worried that he wouldn't be able to get our attention when he needed
something. Ha. Polly

Oh WOW! "Scathingly brilliant"?! I think I'll just wrap it up for today.
I don't think I can even come close to that description for the rest of the
afternoon.
I take my pictures and then tweak them in Paint Shop Pro. I have the
program do an automatic saturation of color which makes the pictures look
brighter and more colorful. I like that for printing on fabric as some of
the color seems to weaken when printed. BUT! By using the "heavyweight
matte paper" setting...I'm getting a MUCH better print out!!! Hooray! (It
only took me how many years to discover this?????) I wish you could see the
ones that just came out of the printer. I'm going to allow them to sit
overnight before I do a rinse with my Bubble Jet Set Rinse. They look
great!
My webshots picture didn't show what I do in that inner border. I use the
alphabet on my sewing machine to sew the words from the pictures...."ball"
"dog" "Mommy" etc. The child can then do a search for all the dogs, etc.,
and perhaps learn to recognize the words before it's worn out. I made one
for my nephew's new baby and my pregnant niece's husband took me aside and
said , "Aunt Kathyl, that is so neat. Would you please make one of those
for our baby?" He was sooooo sweet! So of course I'm working on one for
them!!!
