A Public Service Announcement

 

In the past I had inserted some online Picasa photo albums into my blog posts.  Recently when researching something I went to one of the posts and when I clicked on the album it directed me to Sky Drive.  So in an effort to change that album over I apparently did something and now, with the exception on my last post, every picture is a big black rectangle.  So if you have an album in your blog be very careful that you do not try to change it.

In the effort to find a solution I found that this has happened to many people and apparently you can no  longer direct help questions directly to blogger.

I do have an external backup drive from my old computer and I am going to attempt recovering all of the lost photos.

It has been awhile!

Life keeps getting in the way.

Since I posted last I finished  The Farmers Wife by Laurie Hird.                                                                                                                                                                                  

 

 

While at a retreat I sewed some of the Lost Ship swap blocks together, it will be going to the long arm quilter next week.  I am not sure what I will do with the balance.

 

 

I have had a goal to document and photo my quilts for a long time.  So it was time to refold the bed size quilts that are stored and I enlisted Mr. Quilts to help hang them for photos.

 

 

Blooming Nine Patch and Close Up – Traditions with a Twist by Blanche Young

Civil War Diary Quilt – Rosemary Youngs

Civil War Mystery – inspired by Harriet Tubman block designed by Kaye England

Dear Jane  (My Love Hate Relationship with Jane) from the book by Brenda Papadakis

Stitches from my Heart – designed by Veda Wilhite

Women of Charm and Grace – Blackbird Designs

Women of  Design –  Barbara Brackman

Note:  The Women of Charm and Grace was done at a local workshop/retreat with a kit provided.  In my estimation this is an example of the fabric not matching the design.  The workshop was not by Blackbird Designs.

 

I have also finished assembling my Carolina Lily Quilt and will post about it at a later date.

 

I am almost at the half way point on Nearly Insane from the book of the same name by Liz Lois.  I have tried to maintain the integrity of the antique quilt with my fabric selections.  Today I was auditioning fabric for the sashing.  I am not sure if I like it or not.  The colors in the book are not true, but I have other books where the colors are more accurate.  So what do you think about this one – which is the second piece that I have purchased?

 

Thanks for dropping by.

 

Until next time.
