One Canadian's Website ~ Not Just Quilting
- I usually give you 3 choices so you can choose according to your screen preferences and how much space you want for icons.
- calendar with background, to fill 800 x 600 px desktop
- calendar with background, to fill 1024 x 768 desktop
- calendar, no background, for those who just want the calendar
How do I save the calendars as wallpaper?
- I recommend Internet Explorer for viewing this website and for saving Wallpaper graphics.
- In Netscape, just right mouse click on the image and then click "set as wallpaper"
- In Internet Explorer, right mouse click on the image and then click "set as background"
- Subscribe to my announcements list (through yahoogroups.com). There's a link on my main page. You'll receive an email from me whenever I put up a new calendar, usually the last couple of days of the month
- Or go to my calendar page and bookmark it .. then collect your calendar whenever you want.
- I love quilting, and I was unable to find desktop wallpaper that I liked that had a quilting theme. So I started creating these Quilted Calendars. They are all created using EQ quilting software program, with the calendar words and dates added using a graphics program.
- These are my virtual quilts - ones that I don't intend to make in "real" fabric, so making them gives me a chance to use EQ's advanced quilting features and appliqué details I might otherwise avoid in a quilt. Feel free to browse calendars from previous months to gather ideas for your own EQ creations or for quilt and border layouts.
- If the desktop is showing several small calendars, it may be "tiling" them. To have only one centered image, right click on the desktop and then click properties. Look for background and then find the menu with the choices of how you wish to display your wallpaper ~ Center, Tile or Stretch. Choose Center
- If the calendar is out of proportion, your desktop may have "stretched" it. Right click on the desktop and then click properties. Look for background and then find the drop down menu with the choices of how you wish to display your wallpaper ~ Choose Center.
- Several users have contributed suggestions on saving or using the calendars. Here are two of their ideas
- Make a design wall for yourself. One person said: Hmmm, this is giving me ideas for EQ quilts and living with them like you do on a design wall to test a design. This is a great idea!! EQ will let you export any of your quilts as a *.bmp image (refer to your EQ Design Cookbook for the instructions)
- Print the calendar and use it elsewhere. Although designed with your computer in mind, you can use them just about anywhere! Print them out with your colour printer
