Well here we are with a whole new blog.

I am still struggling a bit with the new blog software. There is a lot to learn to provide a nice looking, easy to read, and easy to operate blog.  Nevertheless, I am glad to get this up and running.  I will tell you that it was most definitely NOT my choice to change.  Indeed, it was a bit of a blow to my time space continuum management plans.  😀  But I do appreciate the fact that GoDaddy gave me adequate warning and have been very helpful in getting this done so far.  Truly, I understand the need sometimes for a company to make some changes to improve their bottom line, but when they do, I just hope it doesn’t impact mine.  🙂

I have decided that beginning next week I will bring in one of my older posts from the other blog every Thursday for a while.  It has taken me some effort to archive it all, including the pictures.   In the process of archiving everything, I found several series on making specific quilts and a few independent posts that I think may be kind of fun for our throwback Thursday “From the Archive” posts.  If you remember a specific post you liked to reference and have a request, please let me know and I will post it.

Sew let us begin anew.  Actually it feels kind of nice to have a bold new start.  If you have any requests for topics to cover, suggested ideas for this new blog, or other comments toward improvement, please add a comment.  I read all the comments I get and try to answer them in a timely fashion

Coincidentally…or perhaps not…I have also restarted my little Jacobean-like folkish birds-in-a-tree silk quilt.  I was unhappy with the silk dupioni I was originally using and so I have changed to a lovely darker red dupioni that my test indicates will not run or fade and is soooo much prettier.  As soon as I get this up and running I am going to re-embroider the central big vine and leaves in black, and rework the thin vines with bobbin work using number 8 perle cotton.

Sew happy everyone!   Let the fun begin on this new playground!
