I also alternated by making some of my strips 8 or 9 inches long just to vary the thickness of the fabric roses. Totally optional though :)
To make your fabric roses, start by placing one end of a fabric strip between your index finger and thumb.
Press the hot glued end to the fabric roll and there you have it, the beginnings of a fabric rose!
Fill the entire wreath (front only) with your fabric roses, making sure you have a nice full wreath when you are done.
Now, cut a length of ribbon that you think will hang nicely from your door. Hot glue the two ends together to make a circle, like so.
Flip your wreath over and place a huge dab of hot glue to the top center of the foam back. Press your ribbon circle from the last step into the glue.
Cut another much smaller piece of ribbon to wrap around the center of the 3 layered ribbons you made above. Hot glue into place on the backside.
Now, cut two more strips of ribbon to make the ends of the bow. Go ahead and snip the ends at the top and bottom, like so.

Are love notes dead?
I was 19 when I received my first love note. Working at Al's Diner in Virginia Beach, a guy left me a note on a napkin with the tip. It said, "you have a beautiful smile. Never lose that." I never saw him again. He never came back into the diner. But to this day, I still think of that note and smile.
Just wanted to let guys know that those notes are so appreciated!
Personally, I absolutely love to send them as well as to receive them.
That being said, the last one I received was over 15-20 years ago, sometime in the caveman era.
It's really unfortunate that people usually don't do this anymore. I kept the notes this one person sent me way back when for around 15 years. He bought me a book and wrote a poem in the front - still had that 17 years later. Silly but true.

Brown University
Women's Lacrosse: Inspired Bulldogs Top Brown 8-7
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Wednesday was already a storybook-type day at Reese Stadium, as the Bulldogs welcomed their newly adopted teammate, 13-year old Alanna, who is undergoing treatment at Smilow Cancer Hospital at Yale-New Haven. The biggest question was whether the story would have a happy ending — especially after the Bulldogs fell behind Brown by three goals early on, then twice let one-goal leads slip away late in the second half. But the answer finally came from junior midfielder/defender Kaitlyn Flatley, who bounced in the game-winning goal in dramatic fashion with just nine seconds left. That capped a thrilling day all-around and gave Yale an 8-7 win in its Ivy League opener.
Women's Lacrosse: Princeton Tops Brown in Ivy League Opener
PROVIDENCE (3/13/10) - Junior Lizzy Drumm scored five goals as the Princeton women's lacrosse team defeated Brown 16-6 in the Ivy League opener on Saturday, March 13 at Stevenson Field.
The Tigers have now won the last 18 Ivy League openers as the team improves to 2-2 overall and 1-0 in the league. Today's win also extends Princeton's win streak over Brown to 20, a run that dates back to 1991.
Women's Lacrosse: Late Run Powers Brown Past Quinnipiac 13-10
Providence, RI- Sophomore Kaela McGilloway (Sea Cliff, NY) scored four goals and freshman Lindsay Minges (Rochester, NY) added three to help lead the Brown women's lacrosse team to a 13-10 victory over Quinnipiac this afternoon at Berylson Field. The win improved Brown to 2-1 on the year, while the Bobcats dropped to 0-2.
Women's Lacrosse: Strong Second Half Lifts No. 11 Boston University over Brown, 9-5, In Home Opener
BOSTON - Paced by a career-high four-goal effort from sophomore Hannah Frey, the No. 11/12 Boston University lacrosse team overcame a slow start by scoring the first six goals of the second half en route to a 9-5 victory over Brown in its home opener on Wednesday afternoon at Nickerson Field. Frey added an assist for a five-point day and senior Traci Landy added two goals and an assist to help the Terriers improve to 2-0 on the season.
Women's DI: Brown opens with 14-6 win over Sacred Heart
Providence, RI - On a chilly and at times snowy Berylson Field, the Brown women's lacrosse team (1-0) rolled to a season-opening 14-6 win over visiting Sacred Heart (1-2) on Saturday afternoon. The Bears were able to put the game away early, needing just 10:16 to build a 4-0 lead that eventually grew to 13-3 late in the second half. Senior Bethany Buzzell (Middletown, MD) and junior Paris Waterman (Newark, DE) led the way in the game with three goals each.

Living Life Near Lawrence (and MO) Too!
But before Quilt Granny Sharon brought me to Lawrence, we had time to run around and visit a great Antique place where many goodies were found.
This little shed was just TOO DERN CUTE!! It reminded me of the little house in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang...remember the grandpa goes in, and gets carried off by the bad guys in the blimp? I so would love this in my back yard!
These are the goodies I found....can you believe it? The bricks top was all of $28.00 and the little octagon one with the inset squares was $35.00!! I knew I was never going to want to hand piece an octagon one like this, and the selection of fabrics in it is so fabulous...30's & 40's!
I also lucked out and found two rug hooked chair pads....BOTH for $12.00! Those sunflowers are my little bit of Kansas to take home with me.
And I love redware, so this deep dish plate just had my name on it too....there were some other goodies, but I'm saving those for a special occasion coming up so I have to keep you in the blind side for that for a bit ;c)
Here is a fun pic of me and Sharon just before my lecture....what fun! We've known each other for at least 15 years, have seen each other from time to time and it is always a blast. All because of this INTERNET thing...look how much it enriches our lives!
I want to show you this one fabulous show and tell...just look at this string quilt! It was made with the trimmed off Margins from squaring up regular string blocks! Is it NOT FABULOUS?!??? Oh...I am so inspired by this one. It was huge, used everything, and weighed a ton. My kind of quilt!
Here is the piecing detail..can you see all the bits? WOWWWW!!
Sharon is on her way to pick me up at the B&B where I've been staying in Lawrence, and we have plans to hit some more antiquey places today, as well as some quilt shops, and when i have more time to fill you in on more details, I'll write a bit more! As it is, I've barely showered, I'm sitting here typing frantically with wet hair and a half packed suitcase! Oh the excitement of life "on the road!" as a traveling quilter!
15 comments:
Oh wow thanks for sharing your "finds"....it is all so fun to see these quilts....and yes great stuff!
Love the bits and pieces....oh my it is huge!
I think you are so smart to turn your business into a mix of work and play...otherwise you'd probably be burned out by now.
Happy Sewing and Safe travelsBonnie,you are a "divey". Remember the BBC's show, Lovejoy?!?!
You're right about that cute little house! I'm so glad you are having FUN and take the time to share all of your travels with us all. We're so lucky to be able to see some of the great quilts like this string quilt!~all from the comfort of our armchair, thank you! You look great by the way... XO

Ultrasn0w Unlock Has Been Updated For iOS 5.1.1
If you're an unlocker and you've been waiting for software unlock update then today is your day because iPhone-Dev team has just released an updated version of Ultrasn0w (v 1.2.7) software unlock for iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 running iOS 5.1.1. Though an Ultrasn0w fixer for iOS 5.1.1 was released by independent developer but some people are not accustomed to use ultrasn0w fixers so this should do the job for them. It is important to note here that Ultrasn0w 1.2.7 is just a compatibility update and it won't unlock new basebands, this version would ONLY unlock those basebands which were supported but Ultrasn0w 1.2.5.
Ultrasn0w 1.2.7 Supported Basebands List:
- 01.59.00 (iPhone 4)
- 04.26.08
- 05.11.07
- 05.13.01
- 05.12.01
- 06.15.00 (iPad BB patched on iPhone 3GS)
Remember that this unlock solution won't work on iPhone 4S or iPhone 4 baseband 4.11.08 or 4.12.01.
Important: If you rely on unlock then it is highly recommended that you update you iPhone 4 or iPhone 3GS to iOS 5.1.1 by preserving your baseband. You can preserve your baseband and update to iOS 5.1.1 by creating a custom IPSW file with Sn0wbreeze, Redsn0w or PwnageTool. If you update your iPhone 4 with a stock IPSW file it WILL update your baseband and you will loose your unlock.
iPhone-Dev team has already released an untethered jailbreak for iOS 5.1.1 which works on almost every iOS device. If you don't have a jailbroken iPhone 4 or iPhone 3GS running iOS 5.1.1 you can follow our complete guide posted here to jailbreak them using Absinthe v2.0.
How To Unlock iPhone 4/3GS Running iOS 5.1.1 With Ultrasn0w 1.2.7:
You should have a jailbroken iPhone 4 or iPhone 3GS running iOS 5.1.1, just fire up Cydia and let it refresh. Once Cydia has refreshed its sources, just go to search and type Ultrasn0w. You will see Ultrasn0w 1.2.7 in search results. Install Ultrasn0w 1.2.7 and enjoy your unlock iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS on iOS 5.1.1.
We will keep you updated in this, stay tuned!

Originally a 17th century manor house, Weetwood Hall Hotel is a fine 4-star hotel set within 9 acres of woodland and gardens.

Weetwood Hall Hotel has outstanding conference facilities and offers easy access the M1, M62, M621 and A1 motorways.
Original features and state-of-the-art technology combine perfectly at Weetwood Hall. The original Manor House was built in 1625 and has been gradually extended. There are 106 well equipped en-suite bedrooms offering six different styles of accommodation from junior double to luxury bedrooms. Rooms in the Manor House have period features whilst the rooms in the newer wing are more contemporary in style.
The hotel has three dining options - the Woodlands Restaurant, the contemporary style Brasserie and Conservatory that looks out over the Italian Gardens, and the traditional style Stables pub. Serving locally sourced food on its menus, Weetwood Hall is also one of the few Leeds hotels with an award winning Stables pub in its grounds, serving Cask Marque real ales.

The majority of rooms are non-smoking. 14 rooms are located in the original Manor House.
It is fairly certain that an ancient farm was in existence on this site in the 16th Century. The oldest part of the Manor House with stone mullioned windows dates from around 1540.
The estate was in the possession of the Foxcroft family for at least 100 years from the latter half of the 16th Century. A history of Leeds refers to Weetwood as "Where a pleasant seat ..." was rebuilt by Daniel Foxcroft Esq. in 1625 as dated above the porch of the original entrance.
Decorative plasterwork as seen on the ceilings in the Manor House came to England through Henry VIII. It is thought that Daniel Foxcroft added the designs of the Tudor Rose, Lion of England and the thistle amongst others in the early part of the 17th Century. As you look up after entering via the original porch-way a framed lion's head can still be seen in the ceiling.
In the 18th Century it is recorded that Weetwood was owned by John Gelder as in 1743 an advertisement appeared "To be lett, Weetwood Hall, situate in the township of Hedingley in the parish of Leeds" was put up for sale.
Shortly afterwards the property came into the possession of the Whalley family and in 1813 it was bought by the Beckett family although they never lived there; it was occupied for some years by Joseph Oates. After various tenancies the property was altered and extended by Alf Cooke, a self-made, wealthy Yorkshire man whose initials can still be seen on the stone columns that support the wrought iron gates by the main entrance.
During the 1914-18 war the Hall was requisitioned by the war office and used as a convalescent hospital for officers.
The university bought the estate in 1919 with the house becoming a Hall of residence for women students and the land being farmed by tenant farmers. Up to 30 young women took up residence and were given grants to cover their residence fees. The vision was that these students who would hopefully become teachers would recognise the immense value of living in such a Hall.
Plans were soon made to extend the Hall with a large main block built between 1925-1927.
Extracts from M. B. Carey Ll.B. Warden 1948-1967
Weetwood continued as a Hall of residence through to the 1990's when the decision was made to close the facility. In 1993 Weetwood Hall started its new life as one of the foremost Conference Centres and Hotel in the North of England. As they say "the rest is history".

In 2005 the decision was taken to overhaul the turning circle at Weetwood Hall. The concept of a sculpture was agreed in the space in the middle of the turning circle.
A new piece of artwork that would capture the essence of Weetwood Hall was commissioned, using the inspirational sculptor, Steve Blaylock, whose unique metal work had been well acclaimed in many places. Steve proposed a cairn of Yorkshire stone supporting an oak tree of steel and bronze crowned by three magnificent owls.
The emblem of the three owls has been the official symbol of Leeds since the 1660's. It was originally the coat of arms of a knight called Sir John Saville, the first Alderman of the City. The owls at Weetwood Hall echo the gold statuary that adorns the Leeds City Council building.
It took five months to complete the structure which rises 16 feet above the surrounding garden. The base is decorated with perennials and spotlights to complement the work.
