After almost 7 years, my blog theme was very out-of-date, and the same theme was no longer available. My son spent hours transferring my blog to a new theme, and now I have been revisiting all my older posts to tweak the images where the formatting changed a bit. The categories on the sidebar will be going away, replaced by the new category listings across the top. Hopefully, I’ll be adding links to my Facebook and Instagram, and one of these days I’ll stitch a new header. It’s a work in progress, but I’d love to hear what you think, and if you’re experiencing any problems
Anyway, that’s my excuse for being behind on my stitching. No completed blocks today, but I’ve cleaned up two blocks this week to sort of make up.
Mother Goose Quiltie Pattern #10
Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall.
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the king’s horses and all the king’s men
Couldn’t put Humpty together again.
Big heads are not always full of brains. Stupid old Humpty Dumpty surely wasn’t. He didn’t have enough sense to keep from tumbling off the wall and spilling over everything. We are glad he did not spatter on our Quiltie. If any egg ever gets on this, it will be some morning when you don’t feel like getting up and mother has to bring your breakfast to bed.
Mother Goose Quiltie #11
Ride a stick horse to Banbury Cross
To see an old woman ride on a white horse.
With rings on her fingers and bells on her toes,
She will make music wherever she goes.
Stick horses do not go very fast, but they are easy for any boy to manage. Besides, this boy is only going to Banbury Cross, and he does not mind the ride, because he is going to see a wonderful sight. If you can stitch him before he rides away, he will be a fine Quiltie, and you can keep his horse, too.
Hi! I am joining you with this doll quilt. So far so good with not having any issues with your new layout. It shocked me the first time I saw it. For a minute I thought I was on the wrong blog!
There are troubles if one wants to print the page. Luckily, I did a Print Preview first. The categories at the top all expand and print in detail before the main part of the page. My preview had 50 pages, of which the first 39 were from the categories. Pages 40 to 42 were the main content.
It might be because they’re activated by a “mouse-over” rather than being clicked to open??
Hi Martha. I haven’t had any problems with the new layout or any problems printing out your patterns. Like Kristal said, I thought I was at a different blog site at first, but I am so happy I can finally get here. I like the new site. I hope you keep all your archives on the side because I still visit a lot of them. They have helped me out a lot of times. Thanks for all you do. (And thank your son for all the time he spent redoing your site.)
Enjoying the patterns. new layout will get some time to get used to. But it is nice.
Can’t type more as I have hurt my thumb nail bed- in plaster.
my stitching will be slow now.
All the best for the new layout Martha:)
