Last one of my candies sent out today.


Did all my feedback too. Sorry it took me so long getting it done.

When I use "Quick Reply", there is no box above the typing field. When I go into the "Go Advanced" method, there still isn't a box for typing options. What am I missing?

Here are my Step 1 rows.

I had to try out your instructions on changing the writing Sewbizgirl. :p
I never knew I could do this!

Looking forward to getting Clue #2 tomorrow. Hope we get it early so I can take it to a group sew and work on it. Please, please "Happy Dance"

It's not you, it's your settings. Click on "Settings" in the very top right corner. There are a bunch of things on the left that you can change, avatar, signature, etc. Scroll down until you see "General Settings." Click on that, and scroll down until you see "Message Editor Interface." Click on either "Standard Editor" or "Enhanced Interface" and then at the bottom, "Save changes." I keep mine on Standard Editor.

There is also the option of manually entering the coding. If you want italics, type [i ] (without the space) at the beginning of the text that you want to italicize, and at the end type [/i ] (again without the space.) Putting u in the square brackets gives you underlining, and b gives you boldface.

The Standard Editor mode will also let you change text size, or make it pretty colors.

Then you probably can't post pictures, either, I'm guessing.... At the top, click on "settings", then on the left side, scroll down to "general settings" and click it. Then scroll nearly all the way down the page to "miscellaneous options". Make sure the "Enhanced Interface" button is checked.

After that you should see the full options at the top of your reply field, including the little tree in a picture frame for uploading pictures from your computer.

Yes, forgot about the "save changes" button!

JuanitaBean, thanks for the feedback! :-)
Jennr8r, Great stack of threesies, lookin' good!

Also, you can highlight the text you want to change with your mouse, and then click the icon in the menu for what you want the text to be changed into.

Ready for Clue # 2 ! :)

Love seeing your pictures, ladies! I wonder if we will use our 'lights' next time, or neutrals? :confused: Hope Barbara is early tomorrow.

One birthday package today. Thanks, Armylady2012!

Wish there was a way to post pics from my Android phone...if there is, Sewbiz is smart enough to figure it out!

Ha ha... definitely not!

I can't post pics from my Iphone. I don't think this website is set up to accept them. ??? I have to download pics from my phone to my computer, then shrink them down to about 25% of their size, and then I can upload them to the QB. It would be so nice if we could just zap them over from our phones.

I email them to myself, then post them from PC, the phone would be way easier. Although, my good camera takes much better pics, so I'm usually happier taking them with that and bypassing the phone...

Here is a quilt I made from Last years candies. Thought I would share.

I thought this was the one that was finished need to find it.

Good morning. I'm almost done with Part 1 of the mystery. Only need to add the 3rd block to 60 strips and I'll be caught up. I'll post a pic then. :)

Gorgeous Arkansas Crossroads, JuanitaBean! Love that pattern...

Hopefully here are my step one rows.

It didn't work, Ha!Ha! can you tell?
I sent from my IPad to myself then didn't know what to do, Hmmm can you tell? I am really tired of this so will try again later. Not tired so much as P.O. slapping hand now.

I had to email photo from my iPad. How do I post from there?

Sunrise, do you have the bar of icons at the top of your ‘quick reply’ field? If so, click on the little picture in a frame... the third ico to the right of the smiley. Then follow prompts to find a picture on your computer and upload it.

If you do not have the bar of icons, you need to change your settings to get them. Go to “settings”, then on the left side scroll down to “general settings”, and then scroll down to “miscellaneous options “ and make then click on “enhanced interface “. Then click “save settings “. Then you should have the picture option in your reply field...

You also need to make sure and resize photos. If they are too large the site won't accept them.

JuanitBean - love the quilt, very pretty! Thanks for posting. I found the block you made from the candies I sent you - wasn't too hard with the Rosie fabric (Keep on Quilting). :) Nice idea to group the charms into blocks by who gave them to you! Mine are all mixed up in a bin....

About taking photos - I found it easier to use my regular digital camera instead of my phone. I download to my computer, resize, then I can upload by choosing the "Go Advanced" option on my Reply to thread screen.

Just checking, thought we were suppose to get new clue this morning....have I got my days mixed up?

I read in 2 different places the directions could be posted today or tomorrow. I guess it could be tomorrow.

I mailed all of my BD candies out today. Regular mail. I figure everyone should get them on time. 8 days s/h be enough.

A plethora of candy envelopes were in my mailbox today. The first 14 are listed in post #732. The second bunch collected today are from:

Anoka Quilter
Armylady 2012
Crazy Connie
Crispyfrog
Faintly Artistic
givio
Ice Leopard
kele
miquilt
Sunrise 450

I have received a total of 24 candy envelopes! Only 9 days to go before I open them. Thank you.

Sort of works.

June 1, our Fearless Leader said. Which is in 24 minutes, by my clock.

I've been waiting since this morning... I thought the clues were every other Thursday.

Oh, Fearless Leeeeeederrrrr.... it's 12:02am June 1, EDT...

Something unexpected must have come up for Barbara today.

Two birthday candy packages today! Thank you, Crispy Frog and Gaijin!

Caught up just in time! Finished the last ones just a few minutes ago. I’m out of town but brought my supplies with me. Had some trouble with my little portable machine’s tension so I had to play with that for a while. Anyway, I’m very happy with the strips. I might end up changing out a couple of the lighter medium squares for darker ones, we’ll see. Here they are, unpressed and messy but done! Bring on part 2!

Love your triplets!

Maybe I can get the Step One done yet!

Thank you, Sunrise. :). I’m very pleased with them.

Ladies another update for the Candies I have received, Thank You ladies, I am waiting until my Birthday to open.

runnninnnnnnnnnggggggg........pheew.....:shock:

Im here pant pant pant :cool:...Step 2......:thumbup:

Take 3 rows that look lovely together (they all look lovely together...it's scrappy:thumbup:) and make a 3 by 3 square. make sure you iron your pieces first so they will nest properly at the seams. Only make 28... 9 patches...you will have some left over...this is a good thing!:)

I will come back later and read thru the thread. I have been very busy catching up. I was sick last week and I was hoping the world would stand still but no luck!:(

Talk at you very soon....happy June
