Well? What do you think? My new You can click on Karen's image above to go to her design website. She offers a lot of different service, from the tiny favicon in my url box (the little acorn replaces the Blogger "B"), to the little elements that now appear between my posts. Have fun shopping! I'm sure you're going to find something you need to have for your blog. Thank you, Karen!!!
My "Charmed, I'm Sure" quilt is finished. I added the binding yesterday, and sewed my custom label on the back.
I use a washable cotton fabric for my labels. Mine were purchased through Blick Art Materials website (here) and made sure I got the cotton that could be washed. No quilt is truly finished until you sew the label on it. Now, off to finish my lavender "Faerie Glen" quilt!I haven't finished loading the rest of the tutorial into my Flickr album yet. I think I took close to 30 photos to help show how I apply the binding, but I promise to do it today! Hope you accomplish something creative today.
You're right Donna, the acorns are definitely you! :-)
ReplyDeleteAnd I love that you'll still be doing your own headers, I think that's an important aspect to retain, especially when the images are as beautiful as yours.
Just lovely!

P.S. You have inspired me once again. I am attempting to re-create an old backpack type bag I had. I tore the old one apart, created new patterns and chose fun and bright colored fabrics (in like a canvas texture) and I will be decorating it with a custom created label on the outside. I'll post about it when I get it done.
Love the new design and how easy it is to read, thank you!
ReplyDeleteLooks great, Donna! Every girl needs a new dress now and then.

Donna,
ReplyDeleteLong time no read! I'm finally feeling a little caught up since my Colorado vacation. I just read your old posts, how cool are you to do that tutorial for Zuzu! You are so generous Donna! I'm printing that out. I think I told you that my goal is to make my first quilt & I'm petrified. Also, your police story had me rolling. Love the new look. I think it's so great that you have a logo or icon whatever you call it that is just all you! The acorn lets people know immediately that it's you & I love the way it's incorporated into your whole blog. Lisa
I DID notice the change - looks terrific, Donna. :) It's very you. :) And congrats on finishing up the quilt - it's completely gorgeous. Theresa :)
ReplyDeleteYour new look is very you, especially with your signature acorn designs. Simply elegant my dear. Happy creating...
ReplyDeleteI recieved the ATC today and just had to tell you it is adorable! I just bought a new stand and gonna put it in it as decoration.
ReplyDeleteThanks, thanks, thanks! You are so sweet!
Hugs,
Lisette
Donna, I have to agree with Carol! Thank you...now a question for all of you experienced ATC ladies. How do you display/store them? Thanks in advance. Love the new look, so stylin' !
ReplyDeleteIt looks wonderful Donna. Karen is a natural, I need an update myself.
ReplyDeletePretty Quilt,soft sweet fabrics.

Your blog looks wonderful. Love the sweet little acorns ~ especially the post dividers! The ribbon with an acorn is so cute!
ReplyDeleteI like that you're keeping the option of changing headers too ~ your current one is beautiful!
Love, Love, Love the new blog look. Though I loved the old one too. I've been wanting tabs for different categories too. Loving the "Charmed, I'm Sure" quilt. It's so pretty and looks so comforting.
ReplyDeleteHugs...Tracy :)
