The Quilting Bee

December 15th 2007

I’ve been a member of The Quilting Bee for a few months, but this is my second time joining. I used to participate a long time ago on another site. The community is great. It’s such a fun club where people who love cute things and pixels can get together. We trade patches on our quilts. There are also activities, about one a month. There’s an ongoing event at the moment where we decorate ornaments for a Christmas tree. There’s also an advent even going on where we can get a different patch each day.

The QBee is the original pixel-trading club and has been around for ages, but has recently been revamped by Jem and Bubs. The site got a facelift and some great new features. We have member profiles and an integrated bbs, which are both really neat features. The web has lost a lot of the cuteness it had a few years ago, but The Quilting Bee is still a great community for anyone who loves pixels.

Getting ready for Christmas

December 5th 2007

I’m ready for the holidays…I have one final next week, just political science and then I’m done. I can’t wait to go home, but it looks like I won’t be able to until January. Don has to work throughout December and he’ll take off a week or so at the beginning of January so we can go home. I’m excited.

Online backgammon

December 5th 2007

I’m usually skeptical of free online gaming websites, but recently I found a free backgammon game that I’ve been enjoying. It’s not just for advancer players, if you’re not really good at it, you can learn. They offer a free software you can play backgammon online. This website is not just about making money. The website is very user-friendly. I haven’t had any problems figuring out what I need.

There’s a lot of articles to help you learn and become a better player. They offer tutorials and tips that you normally don’t see on these type of websites. There’s a list of different moves so that if you’re a novice, you can learn how to do more complicated things so you can win. I used to play backgammon with my mom, but our games weren’t complicated. When I started using this website, I actually learned a lot. I learned what cooked dice are and I learned about the Crawford rule, which is one of my favorite’s. I also learned that there are many different types of backgammon, Turkish, Spanish etc. The rules are basically similar, but there’s little differences.
