I have created a Facebook page for Seams Like Rain, so that I don't bore non-quilters with too many quilts on my personal page, and I don't bore quilters with too much personal stuff (that won't happen, since I hardly ever post anything but quilts).
I recently joined the Quiltsy Team on Etsy, a group of quilters selling their work on Etsy. Already, I am learning so much from them. I might even sell something someday. One of the things I learned is that it helps to have more items in your shop, like 50 or more, so that your listings come up in the search more often. Since I only have 17 items in my shop, it is going to take some work to get to 50.
And now for pictures. Here's a new item, a table runner that I am particularly pleased with:

What I am really happy about is the quilting. I quilted it with gold metallic thread in a swirly curly pattern. If you have worked with metallic thread, you know that it doesn't always go smoothly - snarls and broken threads are a common occurrence. However, I used metallic thread on both the top and in the bobbin and didn't have any trouble this time. I learned the trick on the tree skirts that I did recently. I started out using a size 80 needle for metallic thread and had all kinds of problems. Then I switched to a size 90 top stitch needle and suddenly, all was well. Here it is up close:
