Why are there
3 calendar files?
- 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"
How do I know
when a new calendar
is available?
- 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.
How did
the calendars
get started?
- 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.
I'm having problems!
- 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.
What else can
I do with
the calendars?
- 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
