Just for fun and some stuff about blog readers

Just for fun, I entered the Quilt Gallery Show and Tell again this week. The theme is Paper Piecing. I'm showing a mini that I made several years ago using a Carol Doak block. I wrote about it on the blog in 2009. It's called Compass Celebration and it's 12 inches square. Go look at all the quilts and vote!

So, that's it - Google Reader is supposed to be going poof within three days. I'm still trying out several readers at the same time, trying to get them to work perfectly for me. Each one is missing something that I will miss from Google Reader. I'm certainly not a happy camper!

In the meantime, for those that use Bloglovin' and did not switch over all the blogs that they read, you can continue to follow me by clicking on the Bloglovin' button in the sidebar, right below the clock.

Enjoy!

Quilting Gallery Show and Tell

Woah! I didn't realize it was almost three months since I posted last! And, no, I haven't been cleaning my sewing room during that time. Just a little bit. We did have the weeks of preparation before the week long Passover holiday and I survived the whole thing.



I decided to enter a quilt into the Quilting Gallery's Show and Tell this week. The theme this week is Springtime Quilts and I entered my Spring - Aviv quilt. If you think it worthy, please vote for my quilt! You can get to the Show and Tell page here. 

I've written about this quilt previously for the Blogger's Quilt Festival a few years ago.

Like many, I was disappointed when Google announced that they're discontinuing Google Reader. I've been trying out several alternatives. One of them, Feed Demon, works well, but I decided I don't care for it because it is based on my computer, rather than web based, like the others.

I'll be using Google Reader up until the last minute, but in the meantime I've been using, concurrently, Feedly, Bloglovin' and The Old Reader. There are things I don't like about Feedly and Bloglovin, but that could change. So far, The Old Reader looks most promising to me.

Bloglovin' has this thing where you have to put their code in a post in order to "claim your blog" for people to be able to follow you using them. So, here it is: Follow my blog with Bloglovin
When I get a round tuit, I'll put a gadget on the sidebar for it.

Vote for me!

I've got a quilt entered in this week's Quilting Gallery contest. The theme is Leaves, Trees, and Flowers. You can vote for four quilts! I hope you make mine one of them! The voting ends Monday morning, 8 am, US EDT.

This is the quilt that hangs on the wall opposite where I sit at the computer. So, I'm looking at it all the time!

Thanks and have a good weekend.

Time to Vote!

I have a quilt in this week's hexagon themed contest at the Quilt Gallery site. Please go and vote for my quilt named "HexFifteen". I first wrote about it here.  You may vote for two different quilts.

Thanks and have a great weekend!

With the posting online of the Quiltart Quinceanero exhibit by Quiltart listmom, Judy Smith, I am able to share with you the little quilt that I made a few months ago for the challenge. Be sure to check out the show. There are eighty pieces of eye candy for you to drool over. 

Click on each of the photos there to read the details about the quilt. Here is mine, with a click to enlarge, you can see more detail.

Enjoy!
