Consisting of part airship, part helicopter and part plane, the world's longest aircraft has been unveiled to an awaiting world. Three hundred feet long, developers hope that one day there will be as many as hybrids as their helicopters presently.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - The craft can stay airborne for up to three weeks and will be used to deliver several tons of humanitarian aid. The device will also transport heavy freight globally.
Environmentally friendly, it's partially filled with inert helium. Developers hope to make more of the "green vehicles" which they plan to make capable of taking off from land, water, desert, ice and fields.
The craft's inventors, Hybrid Air Vehicles Limited also expects to create "luxury" hybrids, with infinity pools stretching across hundreds of feet. AS they often sail on just one engine, they are quieter than traditional vehicles.
"These do something nothing else does," Chris Daniels, head of partnerships and communications at HAV, says. "There are two variations - the ones that can stay in the air for a long period of time which can be used for things like communications and covering sports events.
"They also have a pseudo-military use. Rather than having a police helicopter which are noisy and can only stay up for a limited period of time, these can stay airborne for a long time and be as overt or not as people want."
The latest hybrid will be used for communications HAV is set to start making an even larger version later this year which will be able to transport up to 50 tons of freight and passengers. It hopes the industry could eventually create around 1,000 jobs.
Daniels says that because of the way helium is used to power the ships, every time the length is doubled they can carry up to eight times as heavy a load. HAV hopes they can eventually make crafts capable of carrying up to 200 tons.
Daniels says that he cannot see the ships replacing railways used to transport freight, however. The hybrid machines would be suitable for transporting very heavy loads in hard to reach areas like Canada and Africa.
"The climate change issue around ice roads in Canada mean another solution is needed, whereas with the security issue in Africa, this could solve part of the problem."
Daniels said that while several companies had expressed interest in the hybrids, they had also had a handful of enquiries from people who "just want one.
"Maybe one day it will be the case that people get the Orient Express one way and a hybrid aircraft on the way back . The only limit is people's imagination."

Lessons on open source politics from the campaign forge
What do we know about "open source" political campaigns? More with every loss. Including a huge one, two months ago.
We all know Howard Dean ran an "open source" political campaign for president in 2003-4. Lots was learned from that one. Many tools were built. Many hackers got activated and involved. Many of those lessons, and others borrowed from the open source movement, were put to use in Andrew Raseij's campaign for Public Advocate in New York City, which ended in September with another loss. A big one, in fact.
Now his friend and campaign manager, Micah Sifry, has written a post-mortem that serves as the most complete and authoritative bug list yet compiled for the purpose of future "open source" political campaigns. In his report, Micah is as thorough and unsparing as a pathologist filing an autopsy report or a first-class hacker, explaining Why Something Didn't Work.
If you care at all about politics, and how politics borrows wisdom from development communities, this is Required Reading.
While you're there, perhaps one of you can help Micah make his permalinks work. When they do, I'll change the link above to that one.

All the new OSs and windowing systems are oriented towards content consumption instead of content production.
--Steve Daniels 2013
Its a pity that it didnt work.
seems to me that the power of the internet and using it calculated could easiliy be overestimated.
runnig succesfully an internet campaign, as you can see every day, depens on more (maybe random) factors than you can forsee.
some storys are succesfull, others not.
Using this power is hard to handle :) if you know how, you can easily make your business or whatever (political campaign) in shortest time (see milliondollarhomepage) witzh great succes.

Pensions are still regarded as incredibly complicated, scary and boring. We need to dispel the myth that investing in a pension scheme is hard work. For the woman at the party, the advantages of receiving valuable matching contributions from her employer had not got through. She had lost out on 10 years' free money between the ages of 25 to 35.
In the working population, the word retirement generally conjures up wistful thoughts of long lie-ins, lazy days, unlimited opportunities to pursue hobbies and the chance to finally get around to doing all of the things that you've never quite had time for. Is that really the reality of retirement though, and what can my 30-something generation expect in later life?
What is it about rock stars that won't make them quit while they're ahead? ... I mean, just think of some of the more hedonistic behaviour - eating bats (Ozzy Osbourne), the shark episode (Led Zepellin), urinating on the Alamo (Osbourne again) - if any of them behaved like that in a nursing home then they'd be dosed up and diagnosed with senile dementia.
Steven Gerrard announced his international retirement to a chorus of fans and experts claiming he did the right thing, but why is it left to players to make the call? After captaining England at their most disappointing World Cup, Gerrard has opted to call time on his international career, just as he was expected to do.
What we need is fewer rules so staff have more freedom to create the environment and experience that meets the needs of their customer. It's simple really. Give staff space to do their job, provide the training and support to help them master their role, and empower them to make the decisions on the day.
Those born in the baby boom period after the Second World War are recognised as one of the wealthiest generations in the UK due to comparative high incomes/low house prices. Typically, they have benefited from joint assets, such as property, savings, etc. So, why are so many deciding to divorce after achieving such success in family and wealth?
It has long been a commonly held view that this generation, like the babyboomers before them, have never had it so good, with a higher take home salary and booming property market. However, it appears that the rising cost of living, increasing life expectancy and changes to the pension system have started to have an effect.
While the figures suggest that some people might be surprised by their parents' financial generosity, this comes with a warning: you cannot predict what may happen between now and receiving an inheritance. The earlier you start preparing, the more financially secure your own retirement is likely to be.

Kudumbasree is implementing the Centrally aided scheme
The district Kudumbasree Mission has launched the Mahila Kisan Sashaktikaran Pariyojna (MKSP), a Centrally sponsored project for empowering rural women farmers, in the district. The project is being implemented in association with the Agriculture Department, Krishi Vijnan Kendra (KVK) at Ambalavayal, and local bodies.
"We are planning to provide training programmes in various aspects of joint farming such as improving productivity of various crops, practical training in modern farming implements, scientific application of fertilizers and pesticides, conservation of seeds, marketing and overall farm supervision," Kudumbasree Mission district coordinator P.P. Muhammad told The Hindu .
Organic pesticides
Apart from this, the members will be trained in the production, distribution and marketing of organic pesticides. "As part of the programme, 21,000 members of the 3,568 joint liability groups (JLG) of the Kudumbasree Mission will be provided one-day training. The 26 Community Development Societies (CDS) under the organisation will be divided into five clusters and an 18-day training programme has been planned," he said.
The one-day training programme was launched here on Tuesday. As many as 685 master women farmers have been selected for the implementation of the project. Experts from the KVK and Agriculture Department will train them for two days.
A two-day technical training will be provided to presidents and secretaries of the JLGs. The training programmes will begin on Friday. "We are planning to utilise 2,500 hectares of leased land for group farming though JLGs this year as against 1,250 ha last year," Mr. Muhammad said.
Thirteen farmer facilitation centres had been functioning in the district to assist JLGs and the number would be doubled by the end of December. Produces of the JLGs would be procured and marketed by the Kudumbasree though its weekly markets.

Google Developing "X-Phone" To Avoid Getting "Forked" By Samsung
The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Google's Motorola unit is hard at work on a secret "X-phone" that will "provide more potent competition for devices like Apple Inc.'s iPhone." However my suspicion is that the phone is less about competiting with Apple's device and more about providing a counterweight to the Samdroid juggernaut.
This is what Google did successfully when it created the Nexus 7 with ASUS to compete with Amazon's Kindle Fire. Indeed, Amazon had the only non-Apple tablet that was selling in the market. However Amazon was using a "forked" version of Android that essentially shut Google out of key functionality on the device, including Maps.
There's a potential analogy here with handsets, as Samsung has become increasingly identified with Android.
Motorola CEO, Google's Dennis Woodside, denies to the WSJ that the "X-phone" is some sort of "hedge" against Samsung. However that's what it would effectively be if it succeeded, even though Google has other objectives for the handset undoubtedly.
While Motorola could be given significant advantages in competing with other Android OEMs (i.e., early access to advanced features of Android) Google has promised to keep the division at "arm's length" and show it no favoritsim, as a condition of being allowed to acquire the company without a fight.
In the past year Samsung has come to dominante the Android market trouncing HTC, LG and Motorola. The chart above from mobile ad network Millennial Media reflects Samsung's increasing share of the US Android handset market and the decline of other manufacturers.
For its part Samsung is very ambivalent about relying on Google for what has become a core product in a critical global market. Samsung developed its own Bada operating system but that has seen limited success in markets outside Asia.
It's quite possible, as the article suggests, that Samsung would seek to assert more leverage over Android, even to the point of creating its own "forked version" of the operating system as Amazon did for Kindle Fire.
Samsung is approaching 50 percent Android market share. And Android is now well over 50 percent of the global smartphone market. The more Samsung vanquishes competing OEMs in the Android market, the more it would be in a position to assert itself over Android development, with Amazon as a potential model.
The WSJ article identifies a number of proposed handset features and materials being considered for the X-phone but also says there have been manufacturing setbacks and other problems. The project is being managed by Lior Ron, who formerly ran Google's local initiatives for a time.
Other than larger screens and other incremental improvements, smartphone design has largely stagnated. Let's hope that Google can in fact create a "revolutionary" new smartphone that shakes up the market. To some degree Motorola's future depends on it.

Spring delight
FRISCO —There's nothing like a little warm spring sunshine to warm the body and soul after a long winter, and April tends to be the month when things really start warming up in the high country of Colorado — at least on those days in between late-season snowstorms. Of course every year brings a different mood, and this set is compiled from shots taken in April 2012, which ended up being the warmest year on record in Colorado, and when Dillon Reservoir melted earlier than ever before. So instead of a frozen sheen of ice, we had open water combining with April light for some magical morning scenes.

Roger Clyne & the Peacemakers
The Arizona State Fair
1826 W. McDowell Rd.
Phoenix, AZ, 85007
Doors 6:00 PM / Show 7:00 PM
Watch & Listen
For over a decade, Roger Clyne & The Peacemakers have produced nothing but uncompromised, unadulterated, 100% pure rock-n-roll. Sticking to their credo of art leading commerce, the Tempe-based quarter have released six consecutive studio albums that all debuted in the top 10 on Billboard's Internet Sales chart (the first independent band to ever accomplish that feat) by mixing relentless guitar licks, four part harmonies, thought-provoking lyrics and tequila.
Roger Clyne, guitarist Jim Dalton, drummer P.H. Naffah and bassist Nick Scropos look to continue that streak on Unida Cantina, the most upbeat and collaborative effort yet for the band. It's also Clyne's most infectious record since he and Naffah released their 1996 cult-classic, Fizzy, Fuzzy, Big and Buzzy with their previous band, The Refreshments. Unida Cantina is music marinated with pure American guitar-driven roots rock-n-roll. It's a unification point of people with like hearts and minds who still want to rock. And along the way, they may just also find Unida Cantina.

The alleged shooter who killed 12 in a crowded Colorado movie theater worked at a Jewish summer camp for underprivileged children.James Holmes spent a summer working as a counselor for Camp Max Straus in Glendale, Calif., which is run by Jewish Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Los Angeles, the Los Angeles Times reported on Saturday.Holmes, 24, is suspected of setting off a smoke bomb late Thursday night in a midnight screening in Aurora, Colo. of the new Batman film "The Dark Knight Rises" and then opening fire on the crowd, killing 12 and injuring dozens. He was arrested early Friday morningIn a statement to The Los Angeles Times, Randy Schwab, chief executive of Jewish Big Brothers Big Sisters of Los Angeles and director of Camp Max Straus, said of Holmes: "His role was to ensure that these children had a wonderful camp experience by helping them learn confidence, self-esteem and how to work in small teams to effect positive outcomes," he said. In a later e-mail, he added: "That summer provided the kids a wonderful camp experience without incident."Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu sent a letter to US President Obama on Saturday, expressing his condolences and those of the Israeli people to the families of the Americans who were murdered in the Aurora movie theater. "All Israelis stand alongside the American people in mourning over this terrible tragedy which claimed the lives of so many. We well understand the pain and loss that you are experiencing," Netanyahu wrote.

In September 2013 Alexis Tsipras gave a talk at the Kreisky Forum in Vienna. In it he addressed Austrian social democrats, in Bruno Kreisky's old residence. Yannis Varoufakis posted Tsipras' speech on his blogroll for two reasons: "First, because it sends an interesting message to central European social democrats (Austrian and German in particular). Secondly, because this important speech seems to have gone unnoticed by the mainstream media. Your views on the speech below will, as always, be very welcome."

Name this palm please
Many clumps of this are on my property. Very attractive.
I was thinking that they are palmettos. They are very common down in Vero Beach were we used to live. We made good money two years in a row selling the palmetto berries in the heat of the summer well over $1,000 dollars. It was hot and humid and the palmettos have thorns, but we endured. We were in need of money then. It was a real blessing from God. My friends let me pick their berries and we had five acres of many palmettos. We had to scare off the Mexicans out front that were on our property picking them. Hubby went out with a gun and fired one shot in the air. They ran and left the berries they picked. So I didn't have to pick them, just pick them up off the road. I wish I could do something like that up here. The palmettos are dwarfs up here. I prefer to make money off of the land if I can instead of getting a "real" job.

While still struggling to come to terms with the enormity of the Supreme Court verdict disqualifying a sitting legislator on the day he or she is convicted, the political class has been delivered another shocker that a person cannot contest an election if she or he is in lawful custody. While the latest verdict may bring some cheer to those wanting to see politics decriminalised, the Supreme Court has gone a bit too far in its attempts to usher in reforms. Fears expressed by some political parties about the possibility of the verdict being misused by parties in power are not without valid reasons.
S.K. Choudhury,
Section 8 (4)
This refers to the Supreme Court verdict declaring Section 8 (4) of the Representation of the People Act ultra vires. A Constitution Bench of the same court ruled in K. Prabhakaran vs P. Jayarajan case that the purpose of the sub-section was not to confer an advantage on any person but to protect the House. Further, it held this immunity would cease to apply when the House was dissolved.
Hemant Kumar,
Section 8(4) of the RP Act, 1951, was a loophole for culprits to get elected to the legislature and evade punishment. It is true that criminals with political connections get VIP treatment in jail too, but the verdict will tarnish their political future.
P. Sankaranarayanan,

"Neil Young" Performs 'Fancy' With Crosby, Stills & Nash [VIDEO]

Taylor Swift put her decade-long experience in the music business to good use, writing a piece on the future of music and where she sees the industry heading.
Taylor Swift posted some photos on her Instagram account today from her July 4th weekend in Watch Hill, Rhode Island where she and some friends did a holiday weekend of relaxing near the ocean.
5 Seconds of Summer took the stage at Wembley Stadium for Capital FM's Summertime Ball, and got the crowd screaming by covering Katy Perry's 'Teenage Dream.'
Millions of U.S. citizens celebrated Independence Day yesterday but no matter how big your family is, chances are you didn't have as much as Miley Cyrus.
Curious to know what your favorite celebrities have been eating? We've got you covered!
Katy Perry is being sued by Christian rappers over her smash hit 'Dark Horse,' based on claims that she ripped off her song from their Christian gospel tune 'Joyful Noise.'
There are two types of people in the world: cat lovers and dog lovers. It's clear that Taylor Swift is of the former group, especially since she recently adopted the world's cutest kitten, Olivia Benson. Miley Cyrus is solidly in the other group with her small army of pups, including her newly adopted Border Collie, Emu Coyne Cyrus. Both are undeniably adorable, but whose new pet is cuter?
July is here (yes, already!) and it's time to start planning for your big 4th of July bash. This year, why not try combining your love of pop with your love of America? Nothing goes better with U.S.A. pride like a little side of Taylor Swift!
Rumors have been buzzing around Beyonce and Jay Z's relationship since the infamous video leaked of the elevator fight between Jay and Solange Knowles. Those rumors are about to kick up again, thanks to some questionable lyric changes Queen Bey made to a song about infidelity.
5 Seconds of Summer have announced their next single 'Amnesia' and released its forlorn black-and-white lyric video.
Justin Bieber is known for his shirtless selfies, but his latest is totally R-rated. OMG!

Massimo's flat did the job, however I wouldn't choose to stay here again, for a number of reasons.
Firstly, the bed on the ground floor is not as pictured. It is in fact a fold out sofa bed - two single beds - which I believe were terribly uncomfortable. The sofa itself was also not very clean, however that was resolved by using sheets to cover it.
Secondly, the bedding on the mezzanine level was not very clean upon arrival and we had to change it; frustrating at 11pm when guest 2 arrived.
Thirdly, there is nowhere nearby to leave luggage if your flight arrives before the 2pm check in time. Massimo kindly suggested the bar opposite his house, however they were unable to store the luggage and the nearest train station doesn't offer a left luggage facility, so it meant walking around with cases for several hours, or going to Termini to try and store the bags there. This is often a downside of apartment rentals, although usually some mutual concession can be found.
Lastly, and most importantly, the main benefit of renting an apartment is to feel at home away from home. However, as this flat is not a home, but a continual holiday rental, it felt and looked a little unloved. Not the usual clean, cosy apartments which I have rented on airbnb before.
On the upside, the location is handy for the station to and from the airport and the actual buidling itself was clean, tidy and quiet.
Steven do you feel good now? Have a nice day and next time go in a hotel, it is better for you.
Bye bye
We had a great time in this appartment during our stay in Rome. Thanks to Massimo, his flat is very nice and cozy. There is also a very nice restaurant at the first floor of this building.

Regional Catholic leaders rejoice in news of new pope
Thursday's election of a new pope has drawn praise from the regional Catholic community.
Jorge Bergoglio, 76, took the papal name Francis and became the 266th to hold the title of spiritual leader of the Catholic Church. He had most recently served as the cardinal of Buenos Aires.
He is described as a low-key person who prefers to be close to the people, visiting the poor.

- Sunil Rajguru
1. How does it feel to visit the real India every 5 years?
How does it feel to take a holiday and come out of your VVVIP universe and wear 'ethnic' clothes and visit your poor subjects like your were a grand queen? How does it feel to visit Amethi and Rae Bareli and see absolutely no development there and many people still living in the same condition they were decades ago?
Do you identify with this part of India? Do you feel any teeny weeny remote connect whatsoever? Or is it just another quinquennial job you feel that you have to do. Or do you find it just some kind of exotic holiday?
2. What do you do for 5 years?
You have all the power any common Indian could dream of. All the money. All the comfort. All the connections. All the resources. You probably are in the 0.0001% of the elite of the world. So what do you do for five years?
Anything constructive and positive I mean. The royal family of England do a lot of charity work and the males there are also required to serve in the Navy and have a normal life. Are you just idling away your life away like a rich brat?
While you may say this is your personal life, it would be so had the Indian tax payer's money not been involved.

Scaredy Cat v. Surprised Pup — Who's Cuter? [CATS V. DOGS]
The premise is simple: Which animal is cuter?
The premise is simple: Which animal is cuter?
First of all, how could somebody just dump a bunch of adorable puppies in a trash can? Seriously? What is wrong with people? Fortunately, for every (horrible monster of a) person who throws away puppies like they're garbage, there's a person who will rescue said puppies from the trash.
Are you tired of walking your dog down the block from your house every day, but not sure what parks allow dogs? Here's a list of parks in Western New York that your dog (and you) can enjoy this summer!
Hooo boy, it is so close to being summer, we can practically hear the incessant song of the ice cream truck already. Frankly we don't want to wait until Monday to kick off the season. We can't. We've lost all control. Here are some pics of animals in kiddie pools to prove it.
This is a video about a dog named Dog. His owner traded a can of beer for him. Then he taught him how to ride a motorcycle. Really, what other choice do you have when you've got a dog named Dog that you bought with a beer? Did we mention Dog wears sunglasses? Dog wears sunglasses. All hail Dog.
Even in the face of unspeakable tragedy, miracles can occur.
They say cats have nine lives, but one pooch in Kansas City is proving dogs can more than hold their own.
CalArts student Madeline Sharafian made this to show how meaningful it is to cook for somebody you love. In this case it at least means nobody chops off their fingers because their exhausted.
There are two things we know for sure about puppies: they're unpredictably hilarious and sometimes have adorably strange antics. Remember our favorite dogs going to town on peanut butter? That's the kind of silly stuff we love.
Well canine fans of all ages, we've discovered dogs have yet another highly underrated quirk, and it comes in the form of shoes.

Outages for TV & Radio
Many viewers in the Eastern Panhandle are experiencing trouble viewing West Virginia Public Broadcasting.

The part is now being worked on in Canada.

QotD - 9/2/11 - Quilting Pattern
Do you have a favorite quilting pattern that you use more often than others? Maybe Stitch in the Ditch, outlining and echoing, or a straight geometric pattern? If you free motion quilt, do you usually stipple/meander or is there another pattern you find yourself falling into?
I prefer pantographs for my quilt system. And I do have a few favorite designs there that I tend to use over and over.
Stippling/meandering is fun on the frame too.
I usually do a medium size stipple also known as meandering. Another thing I've done quite a bit is what I would call concentric squares. I pick out lines on the quilt that will help determine the size of my pattern and start on the outside. I form the square as best I can (no bigger than 6" or so) and keep going in so they get smaller and smaller. When I get to the middle I end my stitch line, raise the needle and presser foot and pull it over to the adjoining area and do another square. That's probably clear as mud. Lately I've been renting time on a long arm machine and have done free motion exclusively although next week I'm going to try a pantograph. Although the long arm has the stitch regulator, it still takes a lot of practice to create nice smooth stitch lines and I'm not sure I will ever be ready for wreaths and feathers. Appreciate your long arm quilter. They spend a lot of time getting as good as they are.
In the body of the quilt I mostly do FM meandering, not too small, sometimes with loop-de-loops thrown in. I'm big on loop-de-loops because you can vary them from large to small and everything in between.
On borders I like to do loop-de-loop leaves, stars, or hearts. I also like to make double loops, a smaller one within a large loop. I like to quilt a small heart somewhere on each quilt I make as a gift, to show it was made with love to the recipient.
I do a lot of SID and when I FM it is usually meanandering. I don't have a frame so I just tug & sling my quilts through my machine! It seems to limit some of the things one can do! I did do some loop-d-loops on the last quilt. I think I would like to practice making connecting hearts on the next one I do. I just know that I need more practice on FM!
I'm with Sue on the 'tug & sling' method lol!!!! I would love to have a quilting system and DH has said go for it, BUT, it would take up my entire tiny sewing room.
So on the machine I usually SID. I have practiced FMQing and the back was looking fairly decent then I stopped so now I will have to start over.
I was practicing feathers and I love them. I need to get the Hooked on Feathers book, I've heard great reviews about it.
I mostly use a free motion meander too and often add in some leaves or other simple thing. One of my favorite add-ins is a big poofy flower that looks kind of like a cotton boll. This type of FM quilting goes fast and eats up the yards! It makes for a soft quilt too because the stitch lines aren't very close together.
Here's my cotton-y FM:
(sorry the picture is so fuzzy!)
I have that feathers book and have practiced, practiced, practices... I am no good at it. I think I may be stitch dyslexic, because when I mean to go right I often jog left. You can get by with that when stippling but it makes for very uneven feathers! My quilting buddy keeps saying "a feather is just half a heart, repeated over and over". I still can't do it.
I prefer a freehand feathering and just go nuts with it. It seems to come easier than following a straight line. I sometimes draw the "spine" in to follow but not always. I usually do one side of the feather first and then the other but can do both at the same time if I need to. It takes practice and I started with stencils but now I prefer to do it on my own. I sometimes make marks here and there for guidance.
As I am machine quilting challenge I usualy SITD or stipple because I "can". I do follow the design of a pattern sometimes which I am not always pleased with but think I am improving. If I were younger and had the room I would love to have a Long Arm machine but now anything I truly care aboult will be sent out.
For hand quilting I use stencils or echo quilting and use what fits the situation, no favorites there.
Love your cottony FM, Kate! So pretty and wonderful originality!
I am just beginning to venture beyond meanders, loop d loops, echoes and stipples. Really want to get the feathers down. Have watched various online tutorials and seems no one does them exactly alike and I get muscle memory overload! lol
I haven't made enough quilts to have a favorite...still very inexperienced. I have done STID, 1/4 from seam, and echo. Even with my Janome 6600, getting a quilt of any size to move through the harp is hard! Simply don't know how anyone does it. I am always impressed with anyone's machine quilting. Plus I don't "relax" enough to get the stippling or meandering even enough to look right. Big ole stitches to little tiny ones....just looks like a mess. Last time I tried it, I just ripped/unsewed it all out.
Simply have to take more time to practice practice practice.
Or maybe I'll try the hand quilting method next time....
Even stitches is definitely the hardest part and being able to maneuver the quilt around is the second hardest part! Stitch regulators make me drool and I go all glassy eyed when I see the machines with the 16" harp. Want one!
One of my free motion tricks, to help get even stitches and keep the tension right, is to slide the speed control from my usually Full On Rabbit setting over towards the Turtle. That way I can't get ahead of myself!
Love the cotton boll, Kate! I have freehanded that one on paper. That is another exercise that I find helpful: to draw the quilting pattern on paper over and over again to train my brain to make the design - before I put the quilt under the machine to stitch.
