Few words on this night of joy and peace.</span><br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: small;">A glittery, golden Eiffel Tower stands in the center of the table accented by evergreens, pinecones and rose petals. My year round Santa looks down from the china cabinet.</span><br />

I know this as many of my friends have mentioned upon it frequently. So this table is set for my friends near & far, those I see regularly or not so much and those I have “met” through blogging.</span><br />
<a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-EZzkzNbnbfk/VJSgJC7yaYI/AAAAAAAAHAg/g2sDWsSqdtY/s1600-h/IMG_53797.jpg"><img alt="IMG_5379" border="0" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-j33dJAxQhn4/VJSgJ2gAXKI/AAAAAAAAHAo/9lhNk6SZOYk/IMG_5379_thumb4.jpg?imgmax=800" height="307" style="background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="IMG_5379" width="440" /></a><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: small;">I have collected red/pink transferware for years. My first purchase was a Johnson Brothers “Old British Castles<em>”</em> soup tureen. I just looked at Replacements, Ltd and realized again how lucky I was to find it all those years ago. This year I found these “Twas the night before Christmas” plates at Home Goods. They are actually stoneware, but the color is perfect.</span><br />
<a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-aE6Zrk8cNbU/VJSgLHr4jHI/AAAAAAAAHAw/rn5Sjeu9pPc/s1600-h/IMG_536318.jpg"><img alt="IMG_5363" border="0" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-XFDVcaFxdBg/VJSgL4cyWeI/AAAAAAAAHA4/Db3s3rMx33g/IMG_5363_thumb29.jpg?imgmax=800" height="434" style="background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="IMG_5363" width="421" /></a> <br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: small;">Even the underside of the plate has decoration.</span><br />
<a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-oifVDpetRl4/VJSgMbRwFLI/AAAAAAAAHBA/Cj9onP7rMag/s1600-h/IMG_537110.jpg"><span style="color: black; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: small;"><img alt="IMG_5371" border="0" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-MZ-CXUNO4cM/VJSgMkMC6kI/AAAAAAAAHBE/tGFn0RTzrTQ/IMG_5371_thumb12.jpg?imgmax=800" height="121" style="background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="IMG_5371" width="452" /></span></a><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: small;">So the table was set. The antique red stemware and red charger pulled out the red from the plates. A demitasse saucer under then wine glass allows the red base to show.</span><br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;">Last week I posted some of my pictures from this years Road to California Quilt show in Ontario. Here are a few (actually more than a few) more. You can enjoy the previous quilts <a href="http://stitchesfromthetub.blogspot.com/2014/01/road-to-california-quilt-show.html" target="_blank">here</a> and <a href="http://stitchesfromthetub.blogspot.com/2014/01/more-quilts-from-2014-road-to.html" target="_blank">here.</a></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;">I’ve realized that although I am a traditional quilter, I take a lot of pictures of non-traditional quilts. I’m not sure if that is because I might want to make some, or the fact that here are so few traditional quilts being shown at shows. </span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;">I do know that there are incredible artists producing stunning works and that we are blessed by the beauty they add to our lives. </span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;">Somehow I missed who produced this quilt. If anyone has the name I will add it to the post.</span><br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;">I didn’t think I had captured the name of the quilt or who had made it, but thank goodness for the ability to crop photos. “Jack’s Cabin or Tough Times, Tough Pattern” by Susan Maddox.</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;">However, I definitely didn’t get the information on this quilt. I love snowflakes and these ones in wool have fabulous texture. </span><br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;">This is so out of the box abstract for me, but I was drawn to it and the quilting gives a truly fabulous texture. I took a class from Katie years ago when she was doing Fractured Landscapes and her techniques and teaching skills were enlightening.</span><br />

You feel more uptown, more elegant, more posh. </span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;">Oh, wait a minute – it’s Halloween. Maybe that’s not the feeling you get when adorning your head with a witch hat. I set this table last year but never blogged about it. So the question is which Witch hat are you wearing this year? </span><br />

Since it’s Halloween time I figured that would be appropriate. I find it scary that it has been so long.</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>

<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;">Of course there were plans to post before now. <span style="color: black; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;">I assure you I have taken many pictures in anticipation of blogging. </span></span><span style="color: black; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;">As I have fallen asleep I have written many fun and witty posts (or they seemed that way). But until someone figures out a way to connect my brain to the computer while sleeping, you guys will never get to see them. </span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;">Between sleep & blogging - honestly, sleep always seems to win in the battle. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;">But, it got to be embarrassing. Friends, family and customers at the store are not shy in mentioning that I haven’t posted. </span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;">I have to say that I am constantly amazed at all of you who are able to blog on a consistent basis. Do you not sleep? Or are you so organized that you plan posts way in advance. Am I the only one that always feel as if I am running on catch up? I’m pretty sure that if I started fresh tomorrow, that I would be behind by the end of the day. </span><br />

Today was one of those days. Fay was at an Assistance League meeting and </span><a href="http://needleinahayesstack.blogspot.com/2013/08/los-angeles-county-quilt-guild.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;">Tiffany</span></a><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;"> was giving a lecture to the LA County Quilt Guild.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;">So it was just Peggy and I. We cut out some more Creepers Peepers kits. The panel is very cute.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;">As are the silly bats for the border.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;">Michelle made our sample that is hanging behind the counter. Ours is a little different than the pattern as we used some alternative fabrics. Ours has a great black/grey/white chevron in place of the green.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;">Three different people came and picked out fabric for the Madison’s Star quilt class that I am teaching. This is the first one that I made.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>

<br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;">It should be very exciting to see how they all come out. There are eight students, so I’ll have to get pictures of the other fabric selections.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;">One of the best parts of the day was teaching three teenage boys how to sew pockets onto t-shirts. Alex, Paul and Daniel came into the store a few weeks ago to look around. That is one of the greatest perks about our move to The Blvd. New people interested in sewing. After a while they picked out a couple of fat quarters.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;">Then last week they came in and asked about a class to teach them how to sew pockets onto a shirt. So we spent a couple of hours together. And they were amazing! </span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;">They cut out, pressed and sewed. It was so much fun to see how much they enjoyed the process. </span><br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;">So I decided to set my white tablescape with red accents to celebrate the public holiday celebrated in parts of Canada on the first Monday in August.</span><br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;">I picked up the maple leaf placemats early last fall. When I saw them they instantly said Canadian tablescape to me.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;"> <a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-1dx31rcJsDs/Uf_i7fUpwYI/AAAAAAAAGTg/5IlVAQON0a4/s1600-h/IMG_0117.jpg"><img alt="IMG_0117" border="0" height="312" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-7ej1DKr8wgQ/Uf_i77rJAII/AAAAAAAAGTo/YOffXHYcuhc/IMG_0117_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="IMG_0117" width="435" /></a></span><br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;">Fluted edge chargers were topped with the same three plates I used for last years <a href="http://stitchesfromthetub.blogspot.com/2012/06/o-canada.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">O Canada</span></a> table. It’s amazing how changing just one element is a stack of dishes can give you a completely different look.</span><br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;">Some ikat napkins I had made for another tablescape worked perfectly, but then I found some freeform red leaves on white at <a href="http://www.boltsinthebathtub.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Bolts</span></a>. I see a fall tablescape with the placemats coming soon.</span><br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;">The beer steins are very special to me. My cousin Bob won them at Klondike Days in Edmonton playing a <em>carnival game</em> when we were in high school. I can’t remember how many dimes he tossed, but almost 40 years (really?) latter I still have all six that he won. </span><br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;">Something else many have been <strike>asking</strike> waiting for is finally here. Switch from metric to inches inside the software. No more changing your computer settings and restarting your computer. Yeahhhhhhhh! </span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;">Last but for me definitely not least is are new BERNINA Overlocker/Sergers slated for release in 2014. </span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;">Both are equipped with LED lights and BERNINA’s exclusive MTC (Micro Thread Control). Ultimate control is at <strike>hand</strike> foot. The sergers use the same foot pedal as your sewing machine. Imagine taking one stitch at a time with a serger. </span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>

<br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;">Drumroll please! The L 460 is equipped with the BERNINA FHS (Free Hand System). That’s right. No more swinging your leg to the right and feeling silly as there is nothing there. With the L 460 you can raise & lower the pressure foot without taking your hands off your project. How</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;"> sweet is that?</span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;">The L 460 also has needle threaders. Additionally, the L460 has a patent pending lower looper threader, a larger waste collector and a extension table to give you more working space.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;">The perfect partner to the L450 & L 460 - the L 220 – for professional cover & chainstitch finishes. </span><br />

When we reopened on the 8th of June racks were in place with fabric, but there had been very little fluffing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Lucida Handwriting;"><span style="color: #333333; font-size: medium;">But,with the Southern California Quilter’s Run starting on Thursday the 20th we rose to the challenge. So I present to you our new store: </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Lucida Handwriting;"><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-size: medium;">As our new signs won’t be up until July 1st, I went to the FedEx printing center and had our logo printed out on plotter paper. Two smaller ones were laminated for the front and back doors,</span> </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Lucida Handwriting;"><span style="color: #333333; font-size: medium;">and a larger one to put in the front window. For under $34 dollars, it was money well spent.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Lucida Handwriting;"><span style="color: #333333; font-size: medium;">There is a great tiled entry way with windows looking into the store. The Belgian baby bathtub holds geraniums for the summer. It will be a lot of fun changing out what is in the tub for the different seasons.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Lucida Handwriting;"><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The quilt on the daybed made by Anna is Multi-Faceted by Cozy Quilt from our last Strip Club.

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;">Displayed behind the bed is The Bopple Ball. It’s a fun play item for kids.</span><br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;">When I left the store last night at 7:30 the guys from Metro Floors had put the carpet in Fay’s office</span><br />

<br /><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;">Poor Bri held the handle of the roller so long she had trouble strightening her hands on Tuesday morning. There are a total of 5 coats on the floor. I’ll add the products in tonight as I can’t seem to find the product pictures. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;">Hopefully, the contractor will show up this morning to finish all his last minute jobs. We need plates on all the plugs & switches, the doors need to be put into the classroom along with assorted other items. The doors were found. A new frame is being built because they made the door opening the wrong size. </span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;">I also need to find out when the glass is being replaced. </span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;">Oh, and when they were working on the frontage yesterday they somehow killed the lights down the east side of the store and Leith’s machine tech room. It’s really hard to service a machine with no power.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;">At noon were get out ceiling fans installed (very important in the desert) and around the same time the new locks will be installed.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;">More tonight,</span><br />

This was the store Friday morning at 7:15.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #333333;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #333333;"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-6LP5DtRtJmU/UatthPuzBhI/AAAAAAAAFrE/tCPVIRGt00E/s1600-h/IMG_9120%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img alt="IMG_9120" border="0" height="288" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-3OOYOYGWdMY/UatthWIJsyI/AAAAAAAAFrM/yrCaGbYQUvo/IMG_9120_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="IMG_9120" width="402" /></a></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #333333;">Not that the job is actually completed. There are still wires hanging, switch plates with no cover, no thermostat on one side of the building, ceiling tiles that need to be replace and ceiling grid to be fixed/touched up. And the classroom doors aren’t installed. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #333333;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #333333;">Oh wait, our doors are missing. They were in the store on Friday morning but now, no longer in the building. Hmmm. Sorry for the blurry shot.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;">So Friday during the day fabric and racks were moved at the old (current?) store so we could remove slatwall panels. Then Sheryl & my nephew John unscrewed six panels for us to take to the new store. Isn’t it pretty?</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>

<br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;">Saturday we met at the store at 7:30. More panels were removed. A big thank you goes out to Shaun, the son of </span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;">our customer Robin.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;">Our family friend Cy came over from Ventura to be in charge of the install at the new store. He has done this for us now at all three locations. That’s him smiling in the background as the truck is loaded. </span><br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;">The main wall completed. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;">Meanwhile I returned to the store and with power tool in hand removed more pieces of slatwall to take to the new store. I welded the power tool, but Susan, Sheryl and Fay held the pieces steady. </span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;">I’m sure I have never mentioned this, but I love power tools. One year for Christmas, my favorite gift was a my very own Makitta drill.</span><br />

Scott went home to get his carpet cleaner for the back hallway. there were demo pieces, wood dust, spackle and a trail from the previous tenants. </span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;">I can’t seem to find my before shot, but I’m sure Tiffany has it to share. Scott is amazing. When he was done it almost looked new. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;">Some of the front windows are slated for new glass due to graffiti etching. There was a sound and one of the windows started to crack.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;">Thank goodness there was a vinyl tinting still on the window. Although it was scary listening to it crack. So now until the new panes arrive we have a lovely sheet of wood. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;">We finally finished up at the store around 6:45. Driving home was the awful view of the fire in Green Valley. My heart goes out to all residents and all they have lost. I pray they were able to get their horses and other animals out safely. </span><br />

Friday the 31st was the contractors completion date at the new store. There was a big plan for the day.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #333333;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;">So I awoke at 3:30 and after 15 minutes knew trying to sleep was a waste of time. So off to the sewing studio I went. With the <a href="http://www.quiltersrun.com/qr/index.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Quilt Run</span></a> coming almost immediately after the move there are samples to be made. </span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;">So from 3:50 to 6:05 I cut out all the pieces for a Primitive Gatherings pattern “Snowflake”. I am only making nine of the blocks. </span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-xI4Zygjim1Y/UatPGetOiEI/AAAAAAAAFos/umRVbHz8YNk/s1600-h/370_Snowflake_Quilt22.jpg"><img alt="370_Snowflake_Quilt2" border="0" height="371" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-lOjvadJuBmc/UatPG-hgDGI/AAAAAAAAFo0/F4j1yU2Q_JY/370_Snowflake_Quilt2_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="370_Snowflake_Quilt2" width="297" /></a><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;"></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;">As usual I looked at the pattern and then refigured the cutting using the Nifty Notions Rulers. I find that I save quite a bit of fabric using them. The Half Square </span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-nBSQq2zuYpE/UatPH_M_3PI/AAAAAAAAFo8/fI1lumArvns/s1600-h/IMG_913110.jpg"><img alt="IMG_9131" border="0" height="253" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-dNiCIpy85nw/UatPId0VPpI/AAAAAAAAFpE/TGcqw9hxXXw/IMG_9131_thumb6.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="IMG_9131" width="315" /></a><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;"></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;">(I flipped the ruler over & trimmed the other corner),</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>

<br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;">and the Quarter Square.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-mPS6LK5S0Ow/UatPKecPw7I/AAAAAAAAFpc/8B7Ji5LMWRg/s1600-h/IMG_91275.jpg"><img alt="IMG_9127" border="0" height="249" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-PcO22qxez8g/UatPK76UuBI/AAAAAAAAFpk/_kSYCG25rqY/IMG_9127_thumb3.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="IMG_9127" width="354" /></a><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;"></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;">Then as I detest spending time drawing lines to sew on, I used the Cutting Corners Ruler designed by Sharon Craig. If you haven't used this ruler it is fabulous.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-NFRVI3trd-s/UatPLoSxaVI/AAAAAAAAFps/H7108sJ2rK0/s1600-h/IMG_91284.jpg"><img alt="IMG_9128" border="0" height="234" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-6FrIIWxs1t4/UatPMDX0MLI/AAAAAAAAFp0/wiFdFJx7ebg/IMG_9128_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="IMG_9128" width="336" /></a><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;"></span> <br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;">The setting triangles and corners were cut with the Nifty Notions Side set triangle. With this ruler all you cut is one strip size and there is no need to cut large squares diagonally. Lastly, the borders were cut. </span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-weight: normal;"> </span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">I made a process pledge and posted the link on my sidebar before my blogging hiatus. However, I never actually posted the pledge. So here it is before my next quilting post.</span></span></h5>
<h5>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">The goal of the process pledge is to create a new sensibility in quilting blogs where not just finished quilts, but works in progress, inspirations, and moments of decision are shared.</span></span></h5>
<a href="http://r0ssie.blogspot.com/2010/05/process-pledge.html"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1129/4607999892_dbd62b1535_o.jpg" width="320" /></a> <br />
<br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;">I, Dawna, pledge to talk more about my processes, even when I can’t quite put them into words or be sure I’m being totally clear. I’m going to put my thinking and my gut feelings out there. I will try to post on a more regular basis about the items I am working on.</span><br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;">My two favorite sounds in the world are the sound of the wind blowing through the leaves on a tree and rain. But sometimes you can have to much of a good thing. Yesterday the wind was out of control.</span></div>
<div align="left">

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;">Growing up in the Antelope Valley the big joke was the dates of the Wind Festival. I remember for a time someone had t-shirts available that were printed:</span></div>
<div align="center">
<br /> <span style="color: red; font-family: ChocolateBox; font-size: large;">Antelope Valley Wind Festival<br />January 1st thru December 31st</span></div>

<div align="left">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;">Today was a good indication of where the saying came from. The winds raged during the day from 35 to 45 mph most of the day and reached 60 mph at times. It is the second time in the last few months that it has blown this hard.</span></div>

Acceptable, it keeps the air clean and the reduces the temperature a few degrees from todays high of 84. Although many do not share my appreciation of its merits.</span></div>

<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;">It is exciting and stressful and exciting. We will be moving to 723 West Lancaster Blvd. The city has been doing a lot of work in the last few years to revive the downtown area and there is always something going on.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;">A machine tech area for my brother-in-law Leith and my partner/sister Fay’s office. She usually works behind the scenes checking in product, ordering, and paying bills as well as all of the other accounting work. </span><br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; font-size: medium;"> and rebuilt for a larger machine repair area for Leith. </span><br />
