Rollin' With the Changes

It's inevitable!

Nothing stays the same.

The only constant is change.

And we've got to roll with them if we want to keep moving forward.

Sometimes these changes come and I embrace them. Sometimes changes come and they tie me knots and throw me for a loop and a standstill.

This one is not a biggie  - but it will affect many of you so we are going to put this out here at the top of the blog so you can keep following with only a few adjustments being needed.

If you have previously signed up through Feedburner here on my blog to receive notifications of new posts in your EMAIL  (This is only for those who have posts emailed to them.)  Feedburner is discontinuing their email notification service.

There are many ways to follow the blog - the best of course being to just give me a bookmark and to come here directly.  You know my schedule. I post 6 days a week, in the morning usually before 10am Eastern Time.

The BLOGLOVIN info below is only for those who want an EMAIL in their inbox telling them of new posts.

There are other sites like Feedly.com where you can also build your own reading list of sites you like to visit, but I don't believe (I may be wrong) that they send these posts to your email. You must go to their site to view them.

The Feedburner email service you are now using will be discontinued in July.  So you have some time before that dies - but if you have signed up here previously, those emails will just STOP in July.

If you would like to keep receiving my blog posts by EMAIL input your email address in the NEW sign up found in the right hand side bar of the blog (Best viewed on a real computer where side bars are visible. They may not be on mobile phones.)

The thing about BlogLovin - is that they can overload you with unwanted emails unless you go in and change your settings.

I am not sure if this is only IF you have a BlogLovin account. But to help, here is a screenshot if you want to LIMIT the mails:

This is the Email & Notifications tab in my settings for my BlogLovin account.

 Next to NEW POST EMAILS I checked DAILY. And unchecked everything else below.

I don't want all of the other things - I'm overloaded as it is. 

I also followed a couple of friends to see how it goes getting notifications of their new posts in my email.

As I said - this is an OPTION for those who want my posts by email.  Any other reader service that does not offer email notifications isn't going to be mentioned at this time because we are focusing on email delivery.

If you are using a different service and they DO NOT SEND BY EMAIL, let's not add those comments to confuse people more than they already will be, okay?  This is just addressing email subscriptions.

If you sign up in the right hand side bar - and DON'T have a BlogLovin' account - I have no idea if you will have to go to settings to set your frequency, it may just send me to you with no problem. We will see.

As stated - changes cause hiccups, luckily this is only a small one!

Now that THAT is addressed, shall we get back on to some quilty fun?

Nine blocks and New Sandals!

Nine blocks puts me Not quite 1/4 the way to where I am headed.  But it's been FUN FUN FUN!

 I will release the pattern when the quilt is done, and it may be some time yet - there are other things in the queue. Thanks for understanding!

And the new Sandals?  Earth Origins!  I've had a previous pair of these that lasted years - they have great arch support and all of the Velcro closures make them easy to adjust to my feet.

Earth Origins Higgins Holland

I have added these to the Quilt & Sew Wear category of the Quiltville Amazon Affiliate Store along with the other cool things I've found and purchased.

These are seriously the most comfortable sandals I have ever had on my feet. I have high arches that cause me pain if there is not enough arch support, and these are GREAT.

And there WILL be a pedicure happening 2 weeks from tomorrow's 2nd Moderna shot! It's been something like 1 1/2 years since I have had an official pedi.  Lock down happened last year before I'd even had my first spring one.  I'm looking forward to it!

And this happens TOMORROW:

YAY!!!

I've had requests saying "It would be so fun to do this as a sew along!"  And it would be!  But I am unable to run one at this time, so if you grab a couple of friends and work on it together it would be great!

There are are 8 color families in the quilt.  Maybe you could do it weekly - working on one color per week, and then after assembly your group could also switch to the borders.

You could even exchange the border blocks (Because they are trimmed to size so you don't have to worry about anyone else's seams or unit size.) and have some of everyone's scraps in your quilts that way.

If your group decides to do something like this - feel free to let me know and send photos that I can share!

The pattern drops tomorrow at a special introductory price. There will be a fabulous gift-away featuring fabric color rolls from Cotton to Quilts!  So we'll see you back here tomorrow when that fun begins.

Last evening I walked into the kitchen to find that the guys had decided on Pizza Night.  Look at Zoey! LOL!!

If you could have seen MY face - it would have been about the same as Zoey's.

Thanks, guys for taking care of dinner!

Oh, Zoey!

There is no pizza for you, baby girl, but we'll give you one of your twisty tripe treats instead, okay? (Yuck, but she loves them!)

Leave are appearing!!

This was my view from half-way up the porch stairs this morning.  It's a bit chilly - but the air feels so nice.  I'm enjoying these last weeks of "long range ridge views" before the leaves on the trees fill it all in again.

Today - mid afternoon appointment in Winston, so after lunch I'll be heading down the mountain.  I need to also stop by the Wallburg house and pick some stuff up for Jeff & Ashlyn that they are adopting for their new place.

It's likely there will be ZERO stitching happening today - it will be late when I'm back, but a driving day out in the spring sunshine has possibilities all its own.

How is your Thursday shaking up?
