Daniel, husband of Jamie, here. Tonight is blog beautification night, in case you missed it on your calendar, so hopefully your eyes hurt less than previously.<br />
<br />
I gave myself a crash course in vector art creation and open-source Adobe alternatives, and had a surprisingly good time, which I may write about for your edification at a future date. In short, <a href="http://www.inkscape.org/en/">Inkscape </a>is great, <a href="http://www.gimp.org/">GIMP</a> is still quite confusing but clearly powerful, and <a href="http://al.chemy.org/">Alchemy</a> is a trip-and-a-half that everyone should try.<br />
<br />
In more relevant news, Jamie has some great quilts and blocks in the works, pictures of which will be shared post-haste. If you're impatient, make sure to see her <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/79455847@N03/">Flickr</a> and <a href="http://instagram.com/frampuna">Instagram</a> pages, or see the samples from them in the sidebar. Our top-secret nerd quilt planning is also coming along, which we'll write about soon. Until then, good night!Jamiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08520249645282232608noreply@blogger.com1
