“Das Vindobona” ist wieder geöffnet.
Chris und ich hatten gestern einen “Lokalaugenschein” und dabei unseren Wunsch deponiert, dass unsere Treffen auch in Zukunft dort stattfinden können.
Die Renovierung wurde sehr geschmackvoll durchgeführt. Für unsere Zwecke vorteilhaft, der Boden hat sich geändert, der “Red Room” ist verschwunden und die Beleuchtig ist viel besser! Jetzt heißt es “Daumen drücken”, dass unser Wunsch in Erfüllung geht.
Hoffentlich, bis bald!
My dear readers may remember these blue hexagons. I started this project 2016. Hexies
The piecing for the top is done.
Size is approx 35 x 40″. Now I have to add the borders.
The book “English Paper Piecing” by Claudia Schmidt was the starting point for a table runner.
The pattern is for handsewing, I machine pieced my top, though.
When cleaning up my sewing space I noticed a string of leftover patches. They ended up as a pillow.
These triangles are true EPP. I sewed them 2014. Read more at the previous post https://e1preininger.wordpress.com/2014/06/27/on-the-design-wall/ Another table mat. The border was rather challenging. It took me hours to sew on the narrow stripes around the triangles.
Go and have a look – Elisabeth proudly presents:
I had to install the IDE due to a change of OS from Windows7 to Windows10.
My hardware changed as well from 32bit processor to 64 bit.
The first try to install VFP9 from USB-stick failed. But finally I found a solution
that worked.
I searched for the physical CD-discs of FoxPro in my stock. A pre-version was needed as VFP9 is an upgrade.
Step 1:
Install Visual FoxPro 7 by running the setup from CD.
Reboot your system (Yes, like back in the old days!)
Step 2:
Install Visual FoxPro 9 by running the setup from CD.
I left predefined installation paths as designed.
Follow the setup routine, run thru all 3 steps. Step 3 is installation of SP2.
Be sure to leave your VFP9-CD-Disc in the drive and connected, the setup will
check for the CD.
Reboot your system! Now copy the extracted DLLs of the Hotfix to the install
directories.
Step 3:
Apply the change to your IDE-projects. Rebuild your applications and distribute
them. Test your applications in a runtime-environment.
This is the stage, where I’m currently struggling at the new OS settings.

The blue/purple thimble at the right is a new one-size type of thimble. I have not used it yet. My friend told me it is great.
Not too much sewing these days. A few hexies and an image.
A new addition to my collection. This thimble is from New Zealand. Isn’t it wonderful?
My repair work is finished. As it is very cold these days my husband likes to use it right now.
