    Default Glad to be back with have a question

    I haven't been on the board for about a week I have been in the hospital had to have another stint wich surprised me as I had been told they couldn't do anything more for me several times. This time the blockage was in my upper heart so they were able to stint it , now if they could only find out what causes my heart to race and what caused my defibulator to shock me I will be good to go again. right now I am too tired to do anything and weak, Having said that I was wondering if anyone knew of any free sites or sites that do not charge alot that are similar to the EQ I would like to be able to experiment with the computer making patterns and ect while I do not feel like sewing

    Golly, you had a stint put in and just a week ago? Sounds like you had a good Dr. Also sounds like you are doing good if you are able to talk on the computer! Wonderful! I'm sure it would make you weak. I've heard if you just were put under an anesthesia and came to, it would take 2 weeks to get back to yourself. Good for you. Take care. Barny

    I haven't tried either of these, but they are free and might help -

    I hope you will feel better soon. My hubby has a defribulator too. Hope the drs can find out why you keep getting shocked. Has happened to hubby a few times.

    There was a thread from one of the male members of this group that had a tutorial for a website that you could design patterns on and incorporate fabric into. It was just a few days ago, but cannot find the bookmark now. Maybe someone knows where to find it.

    Was it GIMP software?

    Here's the thread from a few days ago.
