I hear about hubby being gone!!! 🤗 Woo Hoo CRUISE!!! Thanks, Sherry for helping on the sewing! How cool is that? Congrats, Laura! Thanks Lady M! And thank-you Becky!
I love my husband but he’s on a fishing trip in Montana for 2+ weeks and I’m happy because no cooking, etc so loving being unsupervised at least for now.
Wow! Lot’s of irons in the fire! Good for you Becky!!! Loved to hear about the technology, I miss that now that I’ve been retired from the FJC for 7+years. 😊
Becky, THANK YOU for the lap link tech info. I’ve been dragging my feet on moving data to a newer computer. This process will be a lifesaver! You’re the BEST!!♥️
I had to get a new IPad and even though it was a newer model it downloaded just like it from the cloud and our Mac linked directly to new one and transferred.
I LOVE you and your channel, Becky! So many fun things you talk to us about … and teach us! I always look forward to your “chats”! I have learned so much from you. I watched the Fat Quarter Shop video with Lori Holt and got into some trouble, too! Bought the Scrappiness Is Happiness book, too…… AND too many other things! I really wish I could go on the cruise, but don’t think my schedule will let me!? I hope you will do some “lives” or at least record some of the fun! Thanks for all you do! Betsy
Becky, I have learned so much from you... thank you for sharing all your knowledge!! My hubby and I are both retired and I wish my hubby would go on a fishing trip!!! Lol ..lol...
Hi Becky! Booking the cruise today….just confirming that it is “Sew and Sail 11” that you will on….not 10. The cruise that sails on the 22nd of January.
Thank you for the video, it has been a lovely way to start my weekend. Now, I am going to sew something! Cheers. (P. S. I have been enjoying the AmySews serger box classes which you recommended once as a great way to expand my serger skills. It's the opposite month from her Scan and Cut boxes!)
Thanks for the tip of transferring files. Going to get that cable and keep it on hand because hubs frequently wants to change my sewing laptop to a better one ( he's a computer nerd ) and this cable will be a lifesaver to transfer my 25K embroidery designs! Enjoy your days as a bachelorette. I used to love those days.
Thank you so much for making it easy to set up a new laptop and not lose a thing! I'm all in! What a great find! I appreciate your help so much! Great video, lots of useful info! Thank you! 💞
Becky, your energy level and projects are so inspiring! Thank you for all the content. Love love love the Lori holt quilt with the chickens💕. Hang on to that calendar-WOW LOTS of fun things ahead.
Amy’s is my second closest quilt shop! We all LOVE her. Bought my scan and cut there plus recently Janome M7. Hopefully joining the cruise. I heard you were going to be there so I’m trying to work it out.
Thank you for making these videos. I truly enjoy watching you. I have learned so much. You will love the cruise to the eastern Caribbean. I got a new computer last December and understand your pain. Haa!!! Keep doing the good work you do for all of us.
Great fun listening to your adventures and experiencing your excitement and enthusiasm. A hobby can be a lonely one but not with you around to share with. Thank you for your time and enjoyment. (Anyone could think I like the letter E!)
Thank you for another great video. The next time you need another external drive check out SanDisk’s SSD external drives. I have 2-1TB drives & they are AWESOME. They are smaller than the palm of my hand and as thin as my cell phone. I believe you have a Costco membership & you can watch for them to go on sale there. They connect by USB C and come with a cable. I bought a case on AMZ and it holds both of them.
You sure are a busy lady.. What a fantastic time you all are going to have on that cruise. Sounds like so much fun. I recently had to get a whole new computer as well. I had to get my daughter (an IT engineer) to help me as I didn't want to loose anything... Why can't these just last forever? 😂 thanks for all your time and wisdom!!
Lap Link - perfect timing. I need a new laptop and have been hesitant because of everything you said. Curious how to unregister Simply Applique - I don't want to take the chance of it telling me that I can't install again. Looking forward to your upcoming events.
New Elizabeth Hartman fabric, showcasing Moda's Nantucket Summer line in the quilted topper, recently sewn Riley Blake sampler blocks, new Lori Holt pattern book and recommendation to watch the FQS Behind the Seams, ... Lots of quilty info there! :) You might check out Pat Sloan's YT channel. She talks only quilts 5-6 days a week and she's awesome!
Hi Becky, I'm having difficulty finding the Desizn by juju in the hoop stocking number to order. Can you provide that please as I would also like to make. Thank you
Hi Becky, A word to the wise re passports: as long as the ship returns to the same port that it departed from in the USA (which your Celebrity cruise is scheduled to) the fact that only a birth certificate is required is correct. However, too risky not to have a passport.....What if something happens and you need to leave the ship and fly home? What if there is an issue with the ship and the cruise cancels mid-cruise and passengers need to fly home? Sorry, you're stuck because you cannot board a plane back to the USA without a passport. And with the unpredabilty of travel today, you might want to think about getting a passport. With a January cruise, you have plenty of time. I was in the travel industry for over 50 years....and would never leave the USA without a passport! Most likely nothing will happen, but what if something does? Problem! Big problem!! Good luck.
Great info Gail. I put in my application for a renewed passport 3 weeks ago and hubs got his done last week. I totally agree - too much can go wrong. We'll still take it with us (provided it comes in on time before we leave). Thanks for the good thoughts and caring enough to leave a comment!
Yes, I upgraded to Windows 11 about 4-5 months ago. No problems. You might try Embrilliance instead. They keep all their software up to date to be compatible with all operating system updates. And the updates for Embrilliance are free.
I don't think so. The only stipulation was that it had to have the same amount of memory or more so the new one could store all the files. I would assume many folks swap PCs because of an OS upgrade. The paperwork only went up to Windows 10 but it worked just fine on Win 11.
Thanks for shouting Cristin creates out! She is awesome and can definitely help! I help her admin :-). Love you too though you know that!!!
I feel the same way about my hubby being gone. Of course I miss him, but I love having some time alone!
Cruise?? What!! Sewing Cruise?? sign me up
I always wondered how you did what you do plus house and meals and etc. superwoman!!!
Effective Time Management, Routines, & Beer. lol
I hear about hubby being gone!!! 🤗 Woo Hoo CRUISE!!! Thanks, Sherry for helping on the sewing! How cool is that? Congrats, Laura! Thanks Lady M! And thank-you Becky!
As you can tell by my channel name, I am a cruise fan and quilter. We’ll be on the Discovery Princess at the end of September. Enjoy your cruise!
What fun! Have a great time!

Glad it was helpful!
Easy peezy -- Lemon squeezy..Lap Link....very good info on alleviating those new computer headaches
Would love to sew first thing in the morning but right now too hard. Have fallen in love with fat quarter shop thanks to you though.
You are mighty blessed and we are blessed to have you teaching us
ARE YOU PLANNING TO DO A SEW ALONG WITH LORI HOLT'S PATTERN BOOK CALLED SCRAPPINESS IS HAPPINESS?😊😊😊😊
I WAS JUST WONDERING.
Perhaps, but not any time soon. There are many adorable quilts in that book and I might make one, but nothing is on the schedule.
I had to get a new IPad and even though it was a newer model it downloaded just like it from the cloud and our Mac linked directly to new one and transferred.
Yes, that's the beauty of Apple products. They have all your things in their cloud for easy portability from one device to another.
Good for you Becky. Enjoy your time. You stay up as late as you want

I get that too, what's for lunch.

Yes ma'am! Sew & Sail 11!
I start my day with coffee and cross stitch. Table topper cutie is so cute. Take care.
Thank you for the video, it has been a lovely way to start my weekend. Now, I am going to sew something! Cheers. (P. S. I have been enjoying the AmySews serger box classes which you recommended once as a great way to expand my serger skills. It's the opposite month from her Scan and Cut boxes!)
I'm watching your replay! I just love your shirt, "Choose your weapon"! Do you sell it? So cute! By the way, I love your whole video, too!
Thank you! I got the shirt at teechichi dot com

GREAT BLOCK PARTY, ORDERED THE PEBBLE QUILTING IN THR HOOP. (THINK I MAY BE BACK FOR THE STIPPLE ONE SEE HOW I GO).
Glad you liked it! Thanks for attending!
Thank you for making these videos. I truly enjoy watching you. I have learned so much. You will love the cruise to the eastern Caribbean. I got a new computer last December and understand your pain. Haa!!! Keep doing the good work you do for all of us.
E brilliance has a way to transfer fonts from one machine to another.
Thank you for another great “chat”! Love hearing about all your daily adventures.
Love your chats! Ill be on the cruise with you!!Yay!!

Cristin Creates is wonderful

good morning, Becky!
I was hoping for the quilt chat. I don’t do embroidery 😞

You go Becky!
Hi Becky, I'm having difficulty finding the Desizn by juju in the hoop stocking number to order. Can you provide that please as I would also like to make. Thank you
I guess your new computer has enough memory to be able to transfer all you wanted from your old computer to your new computer.
Becky, did you make the letters on your fabric cuts or did you purchase them? Thanks for the help.
What letters? Do you mean on the Christmas stocking?
Do we watch the 8-16 event on PTWT or on Dime?
You will receive an email from DIME with a link to watch in the email.
yes I know the feeling of staying in my sewing rooms And not my husband say Honey I need you
lol

I love being unsupervised, my credit card does not.
She is greatly
Very talented
You are amazing.
My Viking software is not compatible with Windows 11. Is your new PC Windows 11?
Yes, I upgraded to Windows 11 about 4-5 months ago. No problems. You might try Embrilliance instead. They keep all their software up to date to be compatible with all operating system updates. And the updates for Embrilliance are free.
What about your animals?
We have a family friend that will visit them every day.
Lap Link does it matter if it’s Windows 10 to a new purchase computer with Windows 11?
I don't think so. The only stipulation was that it had to have the same amount of memory or more so the new one could store all the files. I would assume many folks swap PCs because of an OS upgrade. The paperwork only went up to Windows 10 but it worked just fine on Win 11.
But, Becky, don't you need a passport to get off the ship in port?
