The saying goes that practice makes perfect. I'm not sure that's exactly what's happening with the quilting of the golden oldie UFO string stars quilt.

Once committed to a couple of ideas, I kept going ... like with all that pebbling. Now, I find myself still quilting practicing. I'm adding those parallel lines around the outside edge now. All that will be left is adding something in the red border in a different color thread (because I couldn't cover it in more of the teal/turquoise variegated thread.)

I'm not sure my pebbles have improved, but I'm a lot more comfortable using rulers now.

I have a plan for the blue star block (the first of a bunch made with the QOV mini group last week); the rest is there waiting for a plan to use them in Quilts of Valor projects.

For me, the design wall is not only a place to arrange and audition during the making of a quilt, but also a way of creating a focus of something I need/want to work on.

Check out the other links for Design Wall Monday to see what quilters are working on and how they use their walls.sophiehttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-14426877.post-79223280596988835162015-03-22T11:05:00.001-06:002015-03-22T11:05:59.180-06:00Quilting ProgressI made a lot of progress quilting the string stars quilt during the Friday Night Sew-In. Here's a peek at where I am now:

I've quilted everything that's marked and done some straight line quilting (with the help of a ruler) to add some stitch-in-the-ditch and echo stitching in the spaces around the stars. I've added some unmarked, much more typically "me," quilting in the star blocks–I haven't yet decided if it's too stridently different from those classic marked feather shapes.

I will be adding some fill designs around the feathers and inside the plain squares.

In the evenings, I've begun stitching down the red binding on the kids charity quilt –since I've already shared so many photos of that quilt in the last week, I'll show you how I stow quilts waiting for handwork in my den. I expect to finish the binding on the little quilt today, as part of my Slow Stitch Sunday ... and I might think about unstitching some quilting on the other quilt that I started last fall, then decided it was wrong and needed to be ripped out ...

These marked feathers felt like alien feathers to me, they are so different from my usual–the unmarked, perfectly imperfect feather-like shapes. I have begun to wonder if anyone will see me in this quilt when I'm done.

I'm a roll with this, so my plan for tonight's Friday Night Sew-In, is to keep going ... it is also my current golden oldie UFO project, so I am joining Angie's WIPS Be Gone. I'm joining the linky party there today, as well as Free Motion Mavericks.

Next up will the be the bright logs raffle quilt. The quilting design will definitely not be marked. I have pieced the back ... my cat Grace Hopper helped me measure the top for that effort.

Whenever fabric or a quilt top is spread on my worktable, Grace will be there to help–she's a fiber-loving girl. If the fabric or top is large enough to drop to the floor of my studio, her big brother, Johnny Be Good, will roll up in whatever touches the floor, making it difficult to move or adjust. If I am quilting late into the night, both of them will join me on the sewing machine table and curl up on a piece of whatever I'm trying to quilt. Both of them will no-doubt be part of my Friday Night Sew-in tonight ...

I'm sharing the photo of this quilt top to ask for your input on what color thread(s) you would use on this? Help!

I resurrected another of my moldy golden oldie UFOs–a string star quilt top–pieced a back, and pulled out the stencils I planned to use for part of the quilting design.

I don't usually mark quilts and I think my fear of trying this is what has kept it unfinished for so long. I decided that it's time to face this particular fear ... and do it anyway. If you have a favorite tip for working with quilting stencils and/or marking a quilt, I'd love to hear it.

Speaking of fears ... it turned out that my fear about the dyes in the backing fabric for the kids charity quilt was unfounded.

It came through the wash fine and is now softly crinkled and ready to be trimmed and bound. I am planning to use a red tone-on-tone print for the binding.

All the English paper piecing and hand appliqué on my little hex project is complete and it's ready to be quilted. I decided to try this new metallic thread from Artistic in gunmetal.

I think the best excuse for starting a new project (when you have a plethora of unfinished ones like me) is to make a quilt for a good cause. I caught up with the guilds QOV mini-group and started a quilt that will be made from blocks like this one.

Lately, I have been feeling scattered and have allowed myself to flit from one project to another ... I am hoping it will end up resulting in a bunch of different kinds.

At least it makes for an interesting WIP Wednesday update ;-)

sophiehttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-14426877.post-61957773636830474262015-03-17T10:58:00.001-06:002015-03-21T07:59:10.562-06:00Just in Case ... Late last night, as I finished up quilting the charity quilt from the guild sew-in, I noticed that the dye in the donated dark blue backing fabric seemed to be crocking and turning my hands blue as I was trimming threads from the back of the quilt.

I will wash it today with a few dye magnets and fingers crossed, but I first pinned it onto the wall and took a few photos of the quilt and the quilting, just in case that suspicious fabric bleeds and ruins my scrappy kid's quilt.

My philosophy when it comes to quilting is that every quilt is practice for those that follow it ...

In this quilt, I was playing with a variation of my go-to big loopy feathers in the "lights," using a pastel multicolor variegated thread. In the "darks," I practiced some simple straight line ruler work, using another variegated thread that is darker/brighter. Both spools of thread were secret sister gifts at a retreat that happened far away and long ago–it was a good opportunity to use them up.

(You can see an even closer look at the good, bad and ugly of my quilting on Flickr here and here.)

I mentioned in my Sunday post that, of all the ways you can make triangle squares, the method we used here was my least favorite because you end up with half-square triangle (HST) units that have bias edges on all four sides. (You can read more about making HSTS in many way in my HST tip sheet).

For me, the stretchy bias wasn't too troublesome when I was putting together the top, but it definitely did become an issue when I was layering/basting the quilt and later, as I was pushing it around to quilt it. Borders would have helped mitigate the stretchiness around the edges and I considered adding them, but realized that if I did, the quilt would be larger than the batting and backing fabric I'd been given to use for it.

 If you've seen that YouTube video of the 4-at-once technique, you can see that it's a method that demos well and, has a cute gee-whiz factor ... though the fact that you are dealing with all those bias edges is never mentioned. Your mileage may differ, but, for me, this was the first and last time I'll ever make HST units this way ... or any other of those gee whiz block techniques that similarly end with blocks with bias edges. I hope that washing the quilt will also help some of those stretchy bits will relax and shrink back to their original proportions.

I'm joining QuiltShopGal's #CreativeGoodness Linky Party.

Since I seem to be a rare finishing state of mind ... I'm joining the Hands 2 Help Charity Quilt Challenge on Sarah's Confessions of a Fabric Addict blog.

I am planning to finish quilts (and probably start at least one) for Happy Chemo–one of three designated charities for the challenge this year.

But first, I need to finish the kids charity quilt I started this weekend and make one from the kit of coordinated fabrics I grabbed at the guild's sew in last weekend ...sophiehttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-14426877.post-88001682849759226152015-03-15T12:45:00.000-06:002015-03-16T08:21:24.437-06:00Quilting with FriendsYesterday (Saturday), the Northern New Mexico Quilt Guild (NNMQG) met to sew kids charity quilts. The quilt pattern was a bit of a mystery for which kits were supplied, or you could–as I did–bring a stack of 10 inch squares: 20 lights and 20 darks. I had a stack of 10 inch squares from a fabric exchange of dog-themed fabrics and thought they would make a fun kid quilt. Most of them are "darks," so I added some low volume and pastel squares to the "lights" to take along.

I am undeniably a control freak when it comes to the quilts I make ... I have to push myself to let go of my controlling ways and suspend disbelief for any kind of mystery quilt, but I persevered and ended up with, what one of the guild members characterized as an "old fashioned scrap quilt."

Today, it's what's on my design wall. It is, undeniably, an anything-but-modern scrap quilt ... though in a different fabrication, I think the layout could be quite modern. I have decided to choose to believe that the diverse fabrics make it one of those quilts that becomes more interesting as you get close enough to enjoy all those doggy fabrics and that it will be loved by the dog-loving kid that claims it.

And the ever-analytical me is thinking about how the fabrics I chose to combine with the mostly bright and bold dog prints resulted in that "old-fashioned scrap quilt" feeling.

The directions were dead easy–match light/dark squares and use the 4-at-once method to make Half-Square Triangles and then ... arrange as desired. Millie, our fearless leader for the effort, brought examples of possible layouts and one large quilt top she had made using this technique. I confess this method of making triangle squares is my least favorite–mostly because you end up with HST units that have bias edges on all four sides ... but I continued to suspend disbelief and just did it. (If you are curious, you can find details of this method and some of my favorites in my free, downloadable HST tip sheet.)

At the end of the day, we laid out our in-progress quilts on the floor in the middle of the room and had a walk-around to enjoy our collective accomplishments.

To anyone who is not a quilter, the effort it takes to pack up everything you need for a few hours of quilting with friends could seem a little crazy ... and not at all worth it. We bring sewing machines, extra lighting, seat cushions (or sometimes a good chair), portable sewing machine tables, rotary mats, cutters, rulers, specialty templates, thread, pins, scissors, snips, seam ripper–the last of which I was glad I remembered because dyslexic me ended up ripping out and re-sewing one square three times before I got it right ;-) I didn't bring an ironing board and iron, but wished I had, because quilters were queued to press all day long and an additional ironing station would have been a good idea. The charity quilts committee were also shlepping kits, idea boards, instruction sheets, backing fabrics for the quilts we would make and a giant roll of batting.

When I looked around the room, it was clear the quilters in the room were happy to have made the effort–Sandy and Fran's big smiles were pretty typical of those around the room.

Whatever the effort to gather and carry everything you need, it aways seems to make us happy to be quilting with friends. (Plus it was a good dry run for getting organized for for the upcoming guild retreat next month.)

I'm joining the lists for Oh Scrap! on Cynthia's blog, Quilting is More Fun Than Housework, and Judy's Design Wall Monday.

(Gail Pan's free pattern is available here.) I've been thinking about some improvisational pieced borders ... but haven't yet made any forward progress on making/adding them.

This finish is timely... it is definitely beginning to feel like spring around here.

I have made some progress with the hex rings and have now moved onto the next step–appliquéing them to a background.

I have been working on these projects slowly, by hand, in the evenings while I watch (probably too much) television.

The process is relaxing, meditative and gives you lots of time to let your mind wander and think about things like how I will quilt this little piece.

Last night, it was an opportunity to get my creative mind to calm down after a day of sewing with the Northern New Mexico Quilt Guild–come later today to read about that adventure :-)

Last night while I was stitching away, I had a new idea for the quilting design–it was an a ha moment and now I feel ready to jump into quilting this ... as soon as I finish the slow stitching needed to finish the appliqué. So that's what I'll be doing for Slow Stitch Sunday.

Do some aspects of quilting wind you up or help you unwind?sophiehttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-14426877.post-27640483376220644792015-03-13T12:36:00.000-06:002015-03-13T15:40:35.615-06:00Weighted Pincushion OrganizerThis falls in the category of, "I always wanted to make one of these," and so I finally did.

I used a pattern by Elizabeth Hartman, offered on the Sew Mama Sew blog a few years ago. (You can still download the free PDF from the linked post.)

The scrap bag is attached by a button. I found a small ceramic flower button that was a nice color match, but too small, so I stacked it on a larger plain button to make it work. The bag will also work separately and will sit on it's own.

The big pincushion has a wool strip in the center for needles and is weighted–I used crushed walnut shells–to balance on the edge of a table or arm of a chair.

My guild has a sew-in tomorrow to make charity kids quilts. The quilt pattern will be reveals when we get there–we were asked to bring stacks of light and dark 10-inch squares and a sewing machine with a walking foot. Normally, I'd take my featherweight to sewing days like this, but because of the walking foot requirement, I pulled my Singer 301 out of it's cabinet, thinking I'd take it ... until I realized that the power cord was missing. Hmmm. How did I manage to lose it? I guess I'll spend the evening turning the studio upside down to figure out what I did with it when I last re-arranged and moved the sewing cabinet ...

Update: after giving up on finding the power cord and learning from Brenda that I could use the combined foot pedal/power cords from my Featherweight, I found the original ... IN the cabinet, just where I put it away :-)

In the meantime, I'm including this finish on these lists:

I just joined the group purchasing a cones of Superior Thread's King Tut on Massdrop and thought I'd mention it here for those that may not yet have discovered this source.

And then I found what could be the perfect border/backing fabric for the scrappy Briar Patch quilt I blogged about yesterday–a wide black and white backing fabric by Windham covered with color names ... and decided I needed that, too.

It seems a perfect match for Rainbow Scraps projects.

On Massdrop, you can vote in polls about what you'd like to see offered and join group purchases with prices that drop as more buyers opt in. In the past, I have purchased fat quarter bundles and Quilter's Dream wool batting (which is now being offered again, if you're interested) and some non-quilty things ... though I confess it is the quilting category items that tend to grab my attention.

I am not associated in any way (except as a happy customer), but do think it's a great concept and an interesting site worth checking out.sophiehttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-14426877.post-38741512044417851282015-03-11T09:43:00.000-06:002015-03-11T10:15:32.234-06:00A Scrappy PuzzleI haven't yet jumped back into the Rainbow Scraps Challenge this year (and it's already March!), but since I did make some blocks from yellow scraps, I am considering myself officially back in the game.

Besides the yellow hexagon ring I shared on Sunday, I also made 4 of the foundation pieced Briar Patch blocks.

I've now made around 50 of these paper foundation pieced blocks. It felt like time to figure out how they would be set and how many more of what colors I need.

I can't say why I have been in a "finishing" state of mind–it's so unlike me. Rather than making new rainbow scraps challenge blocks for new projects as I planned, my focus has been on finishing up the blocks and quilts from RSC projects from the past. So, while I haven't been regularly checking in with something made form the designated color each week, I have been digging into my scraps to work toward some scrappy finishes.

And now, I find myself looking at the Briar Patch project to see what I need to take it to a finish. At this point, it feels like a bit of a scrappy puzzle to be solved. I thought it was a good time to pull out the blocks and put them on the design wall in an approximation of the layout to see what I thought and where I am.

As you can see, I need to make quite a few more blocks in almost every color. If I decide to split the "purple" blocks into red-violet and blue-violet, as I have them on the design wall now, I'll need even more of those. But even in this state, I can see that I'm going to like it.

A big chunk of time spent paper-piecing blocks is just what it needs to get the rest of the blocks done, which may make this project is a good candidate to take to the guild retreat next month.

I'm joining the lists for Scraptastic Tuesday and WIP Wednesday and (kind of late to the game), Scrap-Happy Saturday.

The first 14 blocks were made in the designated colors of last year's rainbow scraps challenge (with two extra blocks made during the month of black/brown/neutral) which provided me with a pretty good distribution around the color wheel.

I decided I could add a red-violet block, but any other color choice would likely overlap with the colors in an existing block.

As I looked through the existing blocks, I thought about how adding the dark, neutral black and brown leaf blocks at the end of last year had made the colors in the other blocks pop which lead me to think about adding some pale, low-volume Oak Leaf blocks to the pile.

I made these two, then auditioned them with on the design wall with the rest.

The exercise reminded me of my personal scrap quilt mantra: Light, Bright, Dull, Dark. I realized that I hadn't been thinking of this as a scrap quilt, but, of course, it certainly is (and the leaf blocks have literally been constructed from scraps ... doh!)

When I feel stuck when asking "what color," the answer is often found by considering characteristics other than hue and thinking about a balance of "light, bright, dull, dark."

I thought the two low volume oak leaf blocks worked with the rest, so I kept going and made one more in pale blues. I also made that red-violet block that seemed to be missing ... then I spent a lot of time arranging, re-arranging, taking photos, converting them to black and white, and re-arranging them again.

Below is the final arrangement of the 16 blocks on my design wall. I am joining the list for Design Wall Monday on Patchwork Times.

Earlier this week, Gail Pan shared a sweet stitchery pattern, Welcome Spring, that I found irresistable. Click over to see the blue pillow and red wallhanging she made from the design and download the free pattern. It's a quick bit of stitching, I expect to finish this tonight.

My plan is to feature it in a small pillow with some Springy blue and yellow print fabrics.

A couple days ago on her blog, Angie mentioned picking up a Fiskar's hexagon punch at half price ... and I thought that was such a good idea, I bought two.

I quickly opened the smaller one and repurposed some junk mail.

My yellow scrap bin was sitting on the worktable–yes, I am finally getting around to making some rainbow scrap challenge blocks–so I grabbed some small scraps and made a sample for an idea for a new small quilt idea.

I will be slow stitching away later today on these and am joining Kathy's Slow Sunday Stitching list with this post.

The design for my Alium was created in an Abstracting from Nature workshop with Jane Sassaman probably a decade ago–yes some of my UFOs are SO old that I have begun to think of them as Golden Oldie UFOs. In addition to the great exercises that led to creating our own original designs, we learned a few appliqué techniques ... I tried them, but didn't feel they were "me" and it's probably why the finished quilt top remained unfinished for so long. While I was quilting it, I remembered how much I enjoyed the sketching exercises–note to self: must do more of that.

Before binding the quilt, I washed it as a sanity check to make sure the intense quilting in the background and border wouldn't distort the shape of the quilt. My failure at executing the appliqué approach used on the flower and the bud was evident by the many frayed edges exposed ... and so I went back and needle-turned all those edges by hand.

Here are a close-up of the appliqué techniques and free-motion quilting.

It's approximately 21 by 26-inches. The small size made it the perfect project to work on while I was thinking about what to do with a couple other projects. Now that it's finished, I have no excuses to get busy on some other (planned) projects ;-)

There are so many places to celebrate finishes in blog land. I'm joining these parties with his post:

I have a pretty good idea how I will approach it, but am mulling over some of the details.

And I need to decide on thread color(s).

I am also still playing around with ideas about what to do with those big scrappy Oak Leaf blocks–my goal for March.

I have decided to make a few more of the large scrappy Oak Leaf blocks and which colors I need to add.

In the meantime, I pulled out a little finished quilt top–made in a workshop long ago and far away–and I'm quilting it. Here it is, in progress, under the needle, almost quilted.

Working on this reminded me of what I didn't like about my piece–the raw edged appliqué leaves stitched with an open zig zag–and what I loved about the workshop–the sketching exercises that led to my original design. And maybe those reminders are a good reason to work on finishing more UFOs.

Now it is the subject of some local politics.

The New Mexico State Land Office has a new Land Commissioner and he plans to remove the Brickhead: Hope, a sculpture created by James Tyler, and replace it with an oil pump jack to acknowledge the revenues generated by oil and gas royalties on leases of state land.

The Land Office building is located near the center of Santa Fe, a short walk from the Plaza. In this historic area, an oil pump would seem to be so incongruous with the art and architecture here. Why not commission some public art that pays homage to Big Oil instead?

It is apparently not the first time an oil pump jack will appear on the site ... and it was quite controversial the first time around, too.

You can read more about it here: Sculpture Debate Echos 1979 Pump Jack Controversy

I wonder if the Land Commissioner is doing away with the art inside the walls as well? A couple years ago, the halls inside were covered with wonderful photographs of state lands (most do NOT include oil well imagery, but rely on pastoral images of lands leased for grazing and other purposes). There is also a gallery with rotating art by New Mexican artists in the lobby of the building. It will be interesting to see if that program continues during Commissioner Dunn's reign.sophiehttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-14426877.post-72462710664202601962015-03-02T05:08:00.000-07:002015-03-22T19:45:21.283-06:00A Lot Going On ... On My Design WallSome of these projects are finished and just parked on the design wall, some are just beginning.

The bright little log cabins have become a top, with the addition of five Oklahoma Boomer blocks–the reject boomerette on the wall may become the label–and a pieced border of triangles and strips.

The Arrow block is one of last month's blocks for the Block Lotto; the appliquéd flower blocks are for this month. In the upper left corner are some small finished items including some pins and badges and my finished project from Jennifer Day's workshop at AQS. It's something else that I finished a while ago but haven't (yet) shared on this blog. Here's a closer look.

It is based on an image of Jennifer's Barn Cat, Killer. Now that my computer is back, I can start finding an image of my own to use for this technique. You can see a quilt that Jennifer Day made using another image of Killer (along with her son, Carson) in my photos from the Northern New Mexico Quilt Guild show last fall here.

Did you notice that envelope pinned to the wall in the upper right corner? That's the first round of the Cotton Robin, my round added and ready to be mailed on to the next quilter a little later this month.

This month, my goal is to turn them into a finished quilt top. I am joining the March Goal-Setting Party and the list of lovely quilters declaring their own goals.

When I was working on the quilt, I imagined a photo on this weathered coyote fence in my neighborhood. The reality, a photo taken on a snowy gray day, didn't quite match my vision.

Here's a better look at the quilt itself in a photo taken inside ... it goes without saying (I hope) that the quilt really isn't as wonky and wavy as it appears here.

The Kitty Homemaker redwork patterns are from Nancy Martin's book, Kitties to Stitch & Quilt: 15 Redwork Designs, that was gifted to me just after I moved to Michigan to be close to my dad . The gift was much appreciated as it gave me something to do while I sat with him in the hospital.

Here are detail photos of each of the two types of blocks in this quilt:

Doing things in a new way (while my computer was in the shop) was interesting. Using a combination of digital camera and iPad looked like it was going to work and, in fact, the WordPress app DID work and I was able to share this quilt (with January's Lotto Block pattern used for the double 9-patch blocks) on Blocklotto.com but ... BlogPress or otherwise posting here? Not so much.

The quilting was inspired by that I used on the flannel zig-zag quilt last month and QuiltShopGal's 2015 FMQ challenge for February.

For the challenge, I chose Option #1 which was to use Leah Day's quilting design Rail Road Tracks.

It's a little difficult to see on the plaid on the front, so here's a photo of one of the areas filled with the required quilting design from the back. It is probably not a design I would choose to use, but the challenge pushed me to do it anyway. (It's always a good thing to try something new.)

Each of the pillows is 24 inches square. They were pieced from flannel scraps from my stash.

The backs are plain (unquilted) flannel.

The edges are finished with a quarter-inch binding made from more flannel.

Here are photos of the quilted piece, front and back, before it was sewn into a pillow.

In addition to the February FMQ Challenge, I am joining the list for Richard and Tanya 's Link-A-Friday Finish.

Along with the 12 redwork squares and fabrics I shared yesterday, I now also have 115 small three-inch 9-patch blocks--33 of which were made with a reversed placement of lights and darks (the oopsy mentioned above) ... this may lead me to make a larger quilt or an interesting pieced back or a second project.

As I was cutting and sewing yesterday, I realized that the dull reds in this fabric line are Pantone's color of the year: Marsala ... I guess everything old does come back in style again.

There was some confusion in my post yesterday. I didn't mean that this project was a contender for the fundraiser wall quilt for the retreat, in competition with those bright log cabins.

These redwork stitches were made as I passed time with my father during transfusions and hospital stays during the last year of his life. Often, the fabrics were cut and patterns transferred in a rush and some are a bit off-center as a result. They contain a lot of reminders of the emotional roller-coaster we rode during that period of time. They are bittersweet reminders. They have made me too sad for me for a long time, but now I feel ready to turn them into a beautiful reminder of that time spent with my dad.

I agreed then realized that I rarely make wall quilts. I make little doll quilts or quilts that are at least throw-sized. So, I have been thinking about what I might make for the guild and some wall quilt-sized UFOs in the studio.

I thought putting these bright little log cabins on the design wall might inspire an idea. These are 6-inch blocks from a block exchange long ago. I always intended to make more-enough for a bed quilt ... but since that hasn't happened, I am thinking they might become that raffle quilt.

The other project I pulled out of a bin of UFOs is this set of redwork squares and some fabrics put aside to use with them.

This one will stay with me, but I am thinking it might be time to put it together. The January lotto block has inspired a new setting idea and a plan to make some scrappy double 9-patch blocks on this snowy, overcast day.

Of course, Johnny protested that I was outside in his territory without him.

It was perfectly calm UNTIL I hung the quilt over the wall of the upstairs deck ... I waited until the wind died down enough for the quilt to become mostly flat again. Here it is again, from a different perspective.

I'll be linking this post to the finishes party for A Lovely Year of Finishes later this month.

 On the left are five black and white Double Nine-Patches for the January Block Lotto. You can read more about these (and download the block pattern) here: New Year, New Block.

On the right are a pair of red and white blocks called Serendipity blocks for the new block lotto at the local guild ... as many years as I have been organizing the lotto for blocklotto.com, I have to support anyone who is taking on a similar project.

On the wall just before this photo was taken is my first February lotto block. Now all I have to do is write up the block pattern.

There are some much more interesting design walls over at Judy's Design Wall Monday link up.sophiehttp://email@example.com

More than 1600 homes in Nelson could soon be left without television unless they upgrade to digital by the end of April.
Analogue TV will be switched off on April 28, and public information campaign Going Digital estimates that 1611 Nelson homes have yet to make the switch.
Once the analogue signal is gone, viewers will need Freeview, Sky or Igloo set-top boxes, or a TV with Freeview built in, together with a UHF aerial or satellite dish. Going Digital national manager Greg Harford said that when Hawke's Bay went digital last year, people who waited until the last minute had to go without TV for a time, because installers were fully booked.
Every TV in a house, as well as DVD and video recorders, needed to go digital to continue receiving programming, he said.
Anyone with questions about the change to digital TV can visit going digital.co.nz or call 0800 838 800.

Would you consider sharing your home to help cut expenses?
Asked at Massachusetts Street on May 27, 2009
"No I wouldn't, because I work hard for my home and I want to take care of it myself."
"No, I don't think so, because I've lived a long time to have my own home. I raised my children by myself, so it's my turn."
"I already have two roommates, so yes."

The Wedge
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: From the early 1960s until the mid 90s the Machus Restaurants were the place to go for American fare here in Metro Detroit. There was the Sly Fox, Foxy's, The Red Fox and a number of others. Actually, it was leaving The Red Fox where famed Teamster boss, Jimmy Hoffa, was last seen. The Machus Group is no longer, but the signature salad is always on my mind.... tossed iceberg lettuce with onion, tomato, blue cheese and olives and a sweet and sour dressing. I've taken some of the elements here and placed them on a wedge of lettuce...blue cheese, but not heavy blue cheese dressing on this baby. - inpatskitchen
Serves 4
For the dressing
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/3 cup rice vinegar
- 4 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Place all ingredients in a jar with a lid and shake, shake, shake.
For the wedge
- 1 pint small cherry tomatoes or grape tomatoes
- 6 slices bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
- 3/4 cup crumbled blue cheese (or gorgonzola if you prefer)
- 1/2 cup diced red onion
- Maybe 10 to 15 flat leaf parsley leaves (use your judgement)
- The sweet and sour dressing
- 1 head iceberg lettuce cut into 4 wedges
- Halve the cherry or grape tomatoes and gently stir in the bacon, blue cheese, onion and parsley.
- Gently toss the salad with about 1/2 of the dressing. Add more if you feel you need it.
- Place 1/4 of the tomato salad over each of the lettuce wedges.

A Waitangi Tribunal claimant is taking the tribunal to court for stopping her lawyer asking questions in te reo of English-speaking witnesses.
The lawyer for the Te Rohe Potae claimant Liane Green said it was an irony that a judge in what is probably the only judicial forum in New Zealand where te reo is regularly spoken should have made the ruling that lawyer Alex Hope could not use te reo Maori to cross-examine English-speaking witnesses.
Lawyer Karen Feint told a judge in the High Court at Wellington today that the ruling Judge David Ambler made first at a hearing in Te Kuiti a year ago December, and backed up in a written judgment in February, had undermined the mana of te reo and demeaned it as a language, giving it a lower status than English.
Judge Ambler's ruling had been wrong, she said.
Ms Green has asked the High Court to review his decision.
Justice Alan MacKenzie is in the rare position of having none of the three parties in court - Ms Green, the Attorney-General and the Maori Language Commission Te Taua Whiri i te Reo Maori - is supporting Judge Ambler's decision as being legally correct.
Justice MacKenzie reserved his decision.
The Waitangi Tribunal was not represented and is abiding the decision of the court.
Ms Feint said the Maori Language Commission does not want Judge Ambler's decision to create a precedent that would deter the use of te reo in judicial proceedings.
Ms Green had wanted her lawyer, Mr Hope, who is fluent in te reo, to speak Maori whenever possible before the tribunal in presenting the claim which incorporates a claim for loss of language.
Simultaneous translation was available at the tribunal so proceedings were not delayed. Judge Ambler - who is also a fluent te reo speaker - overstated the concern that translating the questions would delay the hearing, Ms Feint said.
The judge appeared to have been taken by surprise by Mr Hope's wish to cross-examine in te reo, Ms Feint said.
She said it had been a very short incident but the day ended poignantly when the kaumatua spoke in English, saying he was afraid to speak in Maori.
The kaumatua said the people were speaking of the mana of the language being trampled and great offense had been caused.
In court today Ms Feint said Judge Ambler had been wrong on three grounds - that the Maori Language Act gave the right to speak Maori in every court and specially included the Waitangi Tribunal, that the judge had failed to take into account the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi and the Bill of Rights Act, and that the judge's concern for administrative convenience was irrelevant.
No-one had to justify wanting to speak te reo and the judge had been wrong to say there was no purpose in cross-examining English-speaking witnesses in a language they did not understand, Ms Feint said.
The hearing is due to end today.

Rare Mass Tombs Discovered Near Machu Picchu
Eighty skeletons and stockpiles of textiles found in caves near the ancient Inca site of Machu Picchu may shed light on the role that the so-called lost city of the Inca played as a regional center of trade and power, scientists say.
Researchers found the artifacts and remains at two sites within the Machu Picchu Archaeological Park in southeastern Peru, said Fernando Astete, head of the park (see map of Peru).
The remains, most of which were found in May 2008 at a site called Salapunku, probably date to 500 to 550 years ago, said Francisco Huarcaya, the site's lead researcher.

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Fault Lines on the city's homelessness crisis
09 May 2012 13:14 GMT | Sport, Football, Croatia, Germany, Ireland
Spain defender Carles Puyol, described by coach Vicente del Bosque as "part of the team's soul", believes it will be impossible for him to recover from knee surgery in time to play in the European Championship starting next month. "To be honest it's going to be very tough, but I have to wait and see how the operation goes," the Barcelona centre back told a news conference on Wednesday when asked whether he would be fit for the tournament.
"But I think it's impossible because when you come out of an operation there is a recovery period and I believe that those who are in better shape should go," said the 34-year-old.
"But I think it's impossible because when you come out of an operation there is a recovery period and I believe that those who are in better shape should go"
Spain defender Carles Puyol
The loss of the talismanic Puyol, who is hugely respected by team mates and opponents alike, is a significant setback for the world and European champions, who begin the defence of their continental title against Italy on June 10. His absence will likely mean that coach Vicente del Bosque will deploy Real Madrid's Sergio Ramos alongside Barca's Gerard Pique in central defence, with Javi Martinez of Athletic Bilbao another option. "It's one of the worst pieces of news we could have expected but we have to deal with it and find solutions, although itwon't be easy," Del Bosque was quoted as saying in As sports daily. "Puyi is a titan and his absence means Spain is losing part of its soul," said the former Real Madrid coach, who is due to announce his final squad on May 27. "We are talking about a player who is an example on and off the pitch and is key in both matches and at training camps."
Dependable for a decade Barca announced on Tuesday that Puyol had sustained an injury to his right knee that required arthroscopic surgery and would sideline him for around six weeks. The shaggy-haired centre back damaged the knee in last weekend's La Liga match at home to Espanyol and is due to have the operation on Saturday. He will be unavailable for the King's Cup final against Athletic Bilbao on May 25, the club said. Puyol, one of the team captains, has been a reliable presence in the Spanish back line for more than a decade, making 99 appearances and scoring the winning goal in the 1-0 semi-final victory over Germany at the 2010 World Cup. "I am not saying I am retiring or not retiring from the national team," Puyol told reporters at Wednesday's newsconference. "Right now the operation is the important thing and later we'll see. It's not only my decision," he said.Spain also face Ireland and Croatia in Group C at the tournament in Poland and Ukraine.

It's week 12 of the 52 Challenge!
We've got general elections coming up in the UK in May and it's pretty crucial that change takes place for the better. At the moment, and this is my view (other views are available) the country is being run by a bunch of corporation serving buffoons who are systematically destroying precious things like the NHS, while doing all they can to make their rich friends richer by selling more guns and bombs. Magic. Recently Russell Brand posted a great video on his YouTube channel looking at how our main choices for a political party to run the UK are all pretty useless.
But there is hope. Thankfully there's a party that has radical ideas like protecting the environment, providing social care and making sure that everyone pays their dues. I'm paraphrasing hugely, but with representation in 90% of constituencies across the UK I'm really hoping that people will vote for the Green Party and give the UK a chance to restore balance and goodness to the land.
In honour of the election and to help push forward the idea, I present…

Welcome to The Muse of Mythology's exploration of comparative mythology.
Comparative mythology is the field of study that seeks to derive general principles from a comparison and classification of different mythologies and religions by examining their content, growth, influence, common origins, and evolution.
Three branches of comparative mythology are extant: 1) Linguistic, which examines language relationships between myths of different cultures, 2) Structural, which explores underlying structures shared by different myths, and 3) Psychological, which compares the same or similar psychological forces at work in myths from indifferent cultures.
In these pages, The Muse Of Mythology invites you to join in an exploration of this intriguing, rich, and immensely rewarding field. Dare to tread where strange and exotic gods and goddesses lurk. Visit familiar and unfamiliar lands, myths, fairy tales, legends, and fables.
The Muse Of Mythology is pleased to present a comprehensive table displaying a dazzling variety of all types of outlandish, bizarre, and grotesque beings, here called fantastic creatures.
Fantastic creatures in this table were conceived from, in, and by all historic periods, cultures, mythologies, societies, and media. Although they were or are real to those who believed (or believe) in them, most people would agree that the majority of these creatures are actually only ethereal wisps without substance; they dwell eternally, but only in the realm of man's imagination.
Some of the fantastic creatures in this list are active today in mankind's psyche, where they loom large and murky, shouting silent, subterranean messages pregnant with meaning. Still others may be more carnal than you might like to think—they might actually have lived in the past or be alive today! But don't be frightened; in their present form—sequestered in a table of fantastic creatures—they can do you no harm...or can they?

Hurry, hurry! Come one, come all. See gobs of fantastic creatures at the Gallery Of Fantastic Creatures.

Lokomotiv Moscow climbed to the top of the Russian Premier League table while rock-bottom Anzhi claimed their first win of the season.
As the division resumed after a mid-season break of three months, Lokomotiv moved to the summit with a 2-1 home win over Krylya Sovetov on Monday.
Senegal striker Dame N'Doye scored his 11th league goal of the season to give Lokomotiv the lead in the 18th minute.
And substitute Roman Pavlyuchenko came off the bench to set up Magomed Ozdoev for Lokomotiv's second with just 13 minutes remaining, before Stanislav Dragun pulled back a late consolation for Krylya in the 87th minute.
That saw Lokomotiv edge two points ahead of Zenit, while Spartak Moscow and Dinamo Moscow are four and five points behind the leaders respectively.
At the other end of the table, Anzhi celebrated their first win of the season at the 20th attempt with a 1-0 home success against Rubin Kazan on Sunday.
Anzhi, who have had to deal with a mass exodus of players sparked by owner Suleyman Kerimov's decision to withdraw the majority of his funding, have surprisingly reached the last 16 of the UEFA Europa League.
But their league form had been miserable up until this point, with Alexander Bukharov's 84th-minute goal giving his side a rare win.
Anzhi remain on the bottom of the table and are still four points adrift of the second-bottom Ural, who also won.
Ural triumphed 1-0 at Krasnodar on Saturday thanks to Gerson Acevedo's first-half strike while on the same day, Spartak Moscow were shocked at Terek Grozny, losing by the same scoreline.
Zenit were frustrated in a goalless home draw against strugglers Tom Tomsk on Sunday, while Dinamo Moscow came from two goals down to beat city rivals CSKA Moscow 4-2 at home.
CSKA led 2-0 at the break thanks to a double from Seydou Doumbia, but Kevin Kuranyi's goal four minutes into the second half changed the course of the match.
Christopher Samba levelled just before the hour-mark and two late Yuri Zhirkov goals sealed Dinamo's victory.
Other results saw Fegor Ogude strike twice in Amkar Perm's 5-1 thrashing of Volga and also on Monday, Rostov played out a goalless draw with Kuban Krasnodar.

Some of the diseases that may affect the nervous system include epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, Huntington's chorea, Alzheimer's disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. These disease have varied causes and may exhibit different symptoms.Know More
Below are some details regarding the diseases that can affect the nervous system.
The nervous system works by absorbing information through the senses, processing that information through a central brain, and using the information to trigger reactions throughout the rest of the body. The billions of nerve cells, called neurons, that are connected to each other and to other cells in the body transmit the information. In terms of function, the nervous system can be separated into the voluntary and involuntary nervous systems.Full Answer >
Individuals can maintain a healthy nervous system through diet, exercise and rest. The nervous system is an intricate organ system found in the human body that is comprised of neurons and supportive cells that transmit chemical and electrical signals throughout the body. These signals allow the body to move, talk and function. A healthy nervous system is essential for humans to function properly.Full Answer >
The main job of the nervous system is to send and receive messages throughout the body, explains the Monroe County Women's Disability Network. It is responsible for controlling and coordinating body functions.Full Answer >
The nervous system functions to process input from sensory receptors, transfer and interpret impulses and to control the functions of body's muscles and organs. The nervous system is comprised of nerves made up of specialized cells known as neurons.Full Answer >

7 nanometer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 7 nanometer (7 nm) node is the technology node following the 10 nm node. Although Intel has not yet divulged any certain plans to manufacturers or retailers, it has already stated that it would no longer use silicon at this node. [1]
Technology demos[edit]
In 2002, IBM produced a 6 nm transistor.[2]
In 2003, NEC produced a 5 nm transistor.[3]
In 2012, IBM produced a sub-10 nm carbon nanotube transistor that outperformed silicon on speed and power.[4] "The superior low-voltage performance of the sub-10 nm CNT transistor proves the viability of nanotubes for consideration in future aggressively scaled transistor technologies," according to the abstract of the paper in Nano Letters.[5]
