A Short Video of some Motifs/Techniques Learned in the Free Courses!
Some of you know that I've been really "cranky" about the new Blogger platform...as it makes my life much harder. Well, I've found a simple way to "overcome" the limitations. It won't mean much to you perhaps...but, if you have a lot of blogs yourself...you might need this tip.
First, the problem:
Prior to the new blogger platform...all of the blogs were listed on the left by order of last read...so, this made it easy to "check" everyones progress in the courses. I didn't have to be concerned about "missing a post" as the blog name would be at the top.
AFTER the platform changed, only the "3 newly posted" blogs were at the top. Every other blog is listed alphabetically. So, if there were four blogs with new posts...I never knew about that 4th one automatically. Instead, I had to go down the alphabetic listing and open every blog to see if there were any comments. And there are 40-50 blogs...so that takes some time. Just scrolling up/down to find the 2017 Class blogs takes a little time.
But, I have found a way to help a little. While I can't change the platform... I have gone in and added a little " ` " symbol to the name of the newer class blogs (2017 classes). So, instead of having to scroll down through all 40-50 of my blogs...I can see these at the top of the list and more quickly "click and check" for new comments. It's a way to "get around" the Alpha listing ranking system...by putting all of the 2017 courses "first".
A simple thing...but it makes my life easier. And, that surely makes me smile. So, for today...I'm celebrating the "small things". :)
Hugs,
Good day to all! Hugs! The registration for ICQC-103 is still underway...but I wanted to also check in with some exciting news!
I've been working on a couple of new quilt patterns lately. The first one "Weaving Ribbon" is a simple quilt to assemble but looks complicated because of the position of the colors. The pattern includes five sizes beginning at a square "baby quilt" size, then some standard rectangle sizes and lastly a huge square king-size. Fabric requirements, cutting requirements chart, and full color instructions are of course included. There are also several pages of black/white layouts for you to play with using your colored pencils...before you go purchase any fabric.
I think this will be a very popular pattern as it is easy to create...but looks very complicated when done. So, hope you check it out and download it from my Etsy Shop.
I'm also working on a Celtic Baby quilt pattern. Well, actually the pattern is finished...but it is being "tested" by a quilter friend to make sure my measurements are all correct...since it is a much more "complicated" pattern to piece. Not difficult...just more pieces. I'll let you know when it is read and also on the site. I'm also going to list these on Pattern Spot. :)
