Yes, you've come to the right place. After nearly a year I changed my blog header. There was a time when I was changing it every three months or so but after I got my laptop somehow I couldn't use the photo software anymore. I've been using Picasa for cropping pictures and making the occasional collage but I couldn't make my own sized collage (the size of the header). So that is why you've been stuck with cherry blossoms in December!
Mrs. Ochiai, the computer genius, offered to make me a new header if I would send her some pictures (she also made our Christmas card last year for us). I didn't give too much thought to my choices, just pulled a couple pieces of quilting pictures and she arranged them for me.
Well, it is nice for a change. If any of you can tell me how I can do this on my own, please let me know!

Your new header is very nice. Maybe it will inspire me to get one made for my blog..........plain is getting old.
I'm not able to offer help on how to do the cropping, etc., but I love your new banner, it's really great. My blog has never had one, I tried once but it didn't fit and I decided to forget it. Maybe if you learn, then you can pass along your knowledge to me. :D
Love your new header. Seeing all the words that bloggers are making lately is starting to get me inspired to make some of my own. Now all I have to do is decide what I want to say on a quilt......Must put more thought into it.
The header looks great! And I really enjoy your blog!
Your new header looks wonderful! I don't know how to do it either - I can't make a mosaic, either. I had a picture on my header, but when I changed templates, it no longer fit. One of these days I'll figure it out, maybe....if I do I'll let you know.
Fabulous new look! A great make-over!

Tanya, I love your new header...your quilt is really special.
You have a good friend to do this for you, but that's not surprising...you are a good friend to her, too!
Hugs
It looks great!! I'm always so afraid of changing even one thing, I admire your courage to do so!
The banner is great. I am afraid I don't know either - Brenda Gael Smith at Serendipity Quilts or something like that had a tutorial on her site, and I always have to look. I think the important part is sizing it correctly. I couldn't figure it out last time so we are stuck with the vultures until I bother to take the time.
Here it is:

The new header is great, but as for how to make one....don't look at me, I have no clue. I'm the girl with the "cutest blog on the block" ready-made blog template! If I have computer questions I slink over and beg my husband for help.
I have the same problem!
I cannot figure out on my new computer how to resize photos, so I am stuck with my old header.
Your new one looks great!
