I started writing this three days ago, to remind you about the end of the special low intro price on the new LeMoyne Star 8 inch shape collection.
There has been a happy distraction (more below), so—good news—Monkey has extended the deadline until tomorrow night (Saturday) at midnight. Only $20.
.
These are just a few of the 16 inch blocks you can make with the shapes in the new LeMoyne Star 8 inch shape collection . . .
.
. . . in addition to Lucky Stars (Millefiori Quilts 3).
..
As usual, you do not need papers or acrylic templates or special rulers when you print the shapes on fabric or freezer paper with Inklingo.
Also, as I mentioned in 5th LIVE Inklingo Video on Facebook, there is no “squaring up” at the end.
..
LIVE VIDEO
The stars on the chair in the photo were made by machine with the Diamond Triangle Square shape collection. It’s FREE ($20 value).
There is a short VIDEO on the Welcome to Inklingo page on the website to help you start printing. I always recommend starting with the free shape collection because it includes the first chapter of The Inklingo Handbook (pages H5 – H48) too.
Also, in the 5th LIVE Inklingo Video on Facebook, I shared piecing and pressing instructions .
LIVE on Facebook has been popular so . . .
.
. . . I braved the snow (and yucky slush in the parking lots) to get out in the real world to get help face-to-face from the pros.
FOCUSING ON THE GOOD NEWS
There were two big issues that were driving me crazy: camera focus and my focus—showing the wrong camera or screen while I was demonstrating.
I am not a geeky person. Almost everything I know about technology I learned from Google but I needed to take a deeper dive into figuring out the best way to do the LIVE videos, so I got help and met some great people.
.
This is just a small part of it.
There are even more empty boxes and packaging all over the living room (my office) because I have new equipment, new cameras, new converters, new HDMI and SDI cables—don’t ask, I don’t know either—and a new computer arrangement, so I think I have solutions for BOTH focus issues.
The next live video on Facebook should be the best one yet.
.
WHEN LIVE?
Now the Winter Olympics presents a new complication. When should I do the next LIVE video?
I probably won’t be watching the Olympics but I suspect many of you will, so I have decided not to go up against the Opening Ceremony tonight.
If you have suggestions, please let me know. I’m still thinking about when to go live with my new stuff.
SUBSCRIBERS
By the way, I also changed the subscription software for the blog. This is the first time I’m using it to announce a new blog post. I hope it reaches everyone. If you have questions about it, please email me at linda@lindafranz.com.
In the meantime, Monkey says, don’t forget the sale ending. Also, it’s time to stop playing with gear and get busy with the recycling bin.
Linda & Monkey
Thank you, Cindy. I am delighted to know that you watch the videos and are looking forward to another one too.
Love the videos! And many thanks for your recent help with my computer/ internet problem. Kathy in North Carolina
You are very welcome, Kathy! I’m glad you figured out why the Internet didn’t want to cooperate. 🙂 Well done!
I can’t wait for your next live event. I don’t often get to see you live, but have watched all of them so far. You’re doing a great job
Thanks for sharing your experience and expertise.
Thank you, Cathi. I am even more excited about the next LIVE videos!
Thank you, Donna. All good wishes welcomed here!
I agree with Donna – there needs to be an Inklingo flag!!
Wow – I can’t wait to see the next video. Doing live videos cannot be easy, let alone producing ones the way you do with loads of very useful content and numerous screens! You really are committed to making them extremely valuable with lots of little tips.
Knowing how much snow we got downtown, I can just imagine how much snow and slush you had to deal with to go get that help.
Ink-lin-GO Linda! (You need your own flag.)
Good luck with all the new equipment! Can’t wait to see what you do with the next LIVE video!
