  • Intern Update

    Has it really been two years since Intern Kelsi was finishing up her internship with the Pixeladies and finding her first job at Target?

  • Not-At-All-Tech Tuesday

    We just wanted to share the good news–Intern Kelsi found a job! She’ll be working at Target. So did all the typing and spreadsheet lessons help her get the job? No. According to Kelsi it was folding and inventorying fabric. She only got around to part of the “red shelf” during her time with us.…

  • Quilt National 2013: Analysis Of Prices

      Quilt National is a biennial exhibition of contemporary art quilts. Most of the quilts are for sale.

  • Tech Tuesday: Split Screen View In Windows 7 Is A Great Tool

    Because I own a Mac and Kris and Deb both have PC’s, I have been introduced to a lot of cool things you can do with Windows, like split your monitor screen. For example, Kris and Deb teach an online Photoshop class, and it is very convenient to be able to have their video lesson…

  • Tech Tuesday: LibreOffice Is A Free Alternative to Microsoft Office

    Being only 19 and not having an extra $140 to spend on Microsoft Office, I was having a lot of problems trying to do things like send my resume to someone or Email homework to a teacher. When I started my internship, Kris and Deb recommended I try LibreOffice. It made sharing documents much easier. Unlike Pages, the…
