Edging their way past teams in bracket play comprised of the best women's players in the world, Cabo Wabo and Hawaii Polo Life entered the Susan G. Komen U.S. Open Women's Polo Championship™ Final 3-0 on Saturday, March 23, at the International Polo Club Palm Beach (IPC) in Wellington, Florida. Relocated from Houston, Texas, to South Florida for 2019 the tournament faced some rain delays with preliminary games being split between Port Mayaca Polo Club in Okeechobee, Florida, and IPC. Showcasing strategic team organization and exceptional horsepower, the women of Hawaii Polo Life demonstrated their prowess in the second half to definitively claim the championship title 10-5.
Utilizing the sharp reflexes of a 10-goaler, Nina Clarkin skillfully took a pass from Mia Cambiaso around defenders to score the opening goal within the first thirty seconds of play. An offensive powerhouse from the start, Hawaii Polo Life successfully prevented Cabo Wabo from completing any of their set plays in the first chukker, enabling the team in blue to pick up another field goal and an impressive Penalty 4 conversion. "It's amazing now to look back and think we've won considering we nearly didn't make it into the semifinals," Clarkin said. "I knew that we had a good team and we hadn't quite reached our potential yet, but in the semifinals we played well. All four of us played hard, worked for each other and the team really came together today and it showed."
As play intensified in the second, costly fouls against Hawaii Polo Life gave Cabo Wabo the opportunity they had been waiting for to get on the board. Countering Clarkin's early Penalty 2 conversion, Hazel Jackson went to the penalty line three times and did not disappoint. Pulling her team forward, Jackson's precision narrowed the gap and ended the half 4-3 in favor of Hawaii Polo Life.
Only a one-goal difference headed into the third, both teams made powerful and strategic plays in their attempt to gain a significant lead. The first to strike was from Mia Cambiaso, taking advantage of a broken knock-in to swiftly put the ball between the opposing goal posts, Hope Arellano retaliating soon afterwards. Closing in on Cabo Wabo's goal, Hawaii Polo Life was poised to take advantage of every mistake, Clarkin securing a two-goal lead 6-4. "If I could mark the opposing team's best player and keep them out of the play with the horses I had and execute that job properly I knew I would be helping my team," Pamela Flanagan said. "Just focusing on that player and playing unselfish polo is something I really took away from this experience and how impactful that strategy can be for your team."
Their momentum and confidence continuing to build, Hawaii Polo Life peaked in the fourth, delivering an explosive series of four consecutive field goals to assert their dominance. All her goals coming from the penalty line, Jackson converted a final Penalty 4 before conceding victory to Hawaii Polo Life 10-5.
"Today I played two horses I'd never been on before and Adolfo [Cambiaso] and Robertito [Zedda] told me to trust them," Flanagan said. "They were the best horses I've ever been on in my life! One of the horses that Mia normally plays she passed to me and I passed my horses on to Anja Jacobs. We all shifted horses around and made it work for our position, which worked out beautifully. We were really organized, Nina was incredibly instrumental, and without the support of Valiente we wouldn't have performed as we did."
Responsible for seven out of Hawaii Polo Life's 10 total goals, Nina Clarkin was named Most Valuable Player.
"I was so well mounted. I was playing horses today that Adolfo Cambiaso plays, I mean what a dream," Clarkin exclaimed. "I felt that they did everything I needed them to on the field. I think both teams were really well mounted and that showed in the speed of the game and the quality of the polo played today. Adolfo told me when he gave me the horses, 'no excuses now,' so I'm just pleased that I did my job!"
Best Playing Pony honors were presented to Got Milk, played by Hope Arellano in the second chukker.
Chris Dawson representing Hawaii Polo Life expressed his excitement at being a part of promoting women's polo through this sponsorship. "First and foremost, this is an incredible opportunity for Hawaii Polo Life to support women's polo," Dawson said. "In Hawaii we love everyone so it's a great opportunity for people to make friends while playing polo competitively and then build on it. I expect next year there will be more teams and more opportunities and if we did that then we did our job."
Clarkin echoed his sentiments on the overarching benefits to women's polo. "For us to be able to play on platforms like these, IPC's U.S. Polo Assn. Field and Palermo in Argentina, is great for women's polo because its being given the exposure it deserves. Just look at the quality of the players in the game today, young players like Hope [Arellano], Mia [Cambiaso], and even Pam [Flanagan]. There are a lot of women coming through the sport who are very talented polo players and it's only going to get better and better."

Mariners outfielder Milton Bradley spoke Saturday with ESPN.com's Elizabeth Merrill on the strides he's made as a person since running into trouble in early May with Seattle management. He's grateful for the help that the M's have given him this season and was hoping for similar assistance last year in Chicago, but failed to ever ask.
Sounding calm and collected in a 45-minute interview with ESPN.com, he attempted to explain why he acts foolishly at times. He claims it's because he cares, sometimes too much.

Bradley, 32, is 5-for-16 with three runs scored since being activated from the restricted list last week. The Mariners, as a team, are 2-2 over that span.

Who is Reading Collecting Wisdom?
A few days ago I posted a survey on here to find out a bit about the audience here at Collecting Wisdom.
A total of 150 people responded to the survey. Here's a summary of the responses.
A total of 26% of respondents live outside of the U.S. while 74% live somewhere in the U.S.
Among those who live outside of the U.S., countries include Ireland, India, Australia, Norway, Singapore, UK, Philippines, Denmark, Canada, and Spain.
Among those who live inside the U.S., the most common states were Texas (8% of all respondents), New York (8%), Colorado (8%), and California (6%).
The most common professions included engineer (30% of all respondents) and analyst (18%), while some of the more unique professions included police officer, arts administrator, and biologist.
In general, the responses were heavily skewed towards white-collar jobs, which isn't too surprising for a site that revolves around personal finance.
It's also interesting to note that 16% of total respondents included the word "financial" in the name of their profession (e.g. "financial analyst", "financial advisor/blogger", "financial consultant").
The median age among respondents was 32.5 years old, but ages ranged from 21 all the way up to 65.
Apparently the CW readers are mostly a younger crowd, with 78% of total respondents reporting to be either in their 20s or 30s.
The responses to this question were a bit mind-blowing to me.
The median pre-tax income among respondents was $92,500, but incomes ranged from $2,000 (pharmacy student in Kentucky) all the way up to $340,000 (surgeon in New York).
Clearly the respondents of this survey are above-average income earners, but again for a site that revolves around personal finance, perhaps these results aren't too surprising.
This is roughly what I expected to see. Respondents in their 20s have the lowest average income (although still above-average by national standards), while respondents in their 50s have the highest average income at $125,500. This makes sense considering income tends to increase with age.
The median net worth among respondents was $220,000, but net worths ranged from -$100,000 all the way up to $2 million.
This chart isn't too surprising either: average net worth tends to increase with age.
About one-fourth of readers live outside of the United States.
About half of the readers are some type of engineer or analyst in their day job.
This community is mostly a younger crowd, with 78% of total respondents reporting to be either in their 20s or 30s.
This community clearly has an above-average income and above-average net worth compared to the general population.
Technical notes: I'll be the first to note that surveys aren't always the most accurate way to gather data. It's possible that high income earners or people with high net worths are more likely to respond to the survey in the first place, but a survey was the easiest and quickest way to gather data which is why I conducted one.

Codigoro (Codgòr in dialetto ferrarese) è un comune italiano di  abitanti della provincia di Ferrara in Emilia-Romagna. Fa parte dell'Unione Delta del Po.

Geografia fisica

Territorio
Il comune di Codigoro si estende nella parte più orientale della provincia ferrarese nel Parco regionale del Delta del Po dell'Emilia-Romagna. Ultima propaggine ad est della Pianura Padana, si colloca tra le Valli di Comacchio e la costa del Mare Adriatico, rappresentando, insieme a Comacchio e Goro, uno dei tre soli comuni costieri della regione storica d'Emilia. È attraversato, in direzione ovest-est e fino alla foce, dal Po di Volano. Il territorio, che fino agli anni sessanta del secolo scorso era caratterizzato da ampie distese palustri che nel corso del tempo sono state completamente bonificate - salvo i pochi ettari rimasti delle Valli di Caneviè e di Porticino -, è attraversato da una fitta rete di canali un tempo in parte navigabili, per l'irrigazione e lo scolo dei vastissimi campi coltivati intensivamente. Sono tuttavia ancora presenti tracce residuali di boschi e pinete dell'antico apparato deltizio padano.

Clima

 Classificazione climatica: zona E, 2523 GR/G

Storia

Dalla fondazione al XIX secolo
La tesi che l'originario toponimo di Codigoro fosse "Neroma" è confutata da Antonio Frizzi nella sua "Memorie per la storia di Ferrara", posizionando l'ipotetica località molto più vicina alle odierne Valli di Comacchio, desumendolo dalle distanze ricavate dalla Tabula Peutingeriana e Antonina. Anche la località Corniculani si può calcolare al massimo vicina a Mezzogoro.

Il nome deriva da Gaurus, l'allora Po di Goro, un territorio che era all'inizio di una biforcazione di rami del fiume: Caput Gauri.

Nel latino volgare troviamo il termine Caput gauri in alcuni documenti pomposiani del 1243. Medium gauri è divenuta poi Mezzogoro.

La storia di Codigoro la si fa ricondurre al VI/VII secolo quando una comunità di monaci benedettini si insedia nel territorio dell'attuale Pomposa che allora era posizionato su un isolotto bagnato dal Mare Adriatico e dai rami del Po di Volano e del Po di Goro. È in questi anni che prende avvio la costruzione dell'Abbazia di Pomposa la quale diede risalto a Codigoro e al suo territorio il quale acquisì maggiore rilevanza grazie ai redditizi terreni agricoli e all'istituzione del Palazzo del Vescovo il quale concentrava su di sé il governo politico e commerciale fino all'assorbimento di Codigoro da parte dell'Esarcato di Ravenna al quale prenderà parte sino all'anno 1000.

Verso il 1150 hanno inizio le pressioni per il controllo sul territorio da parte degli Este, signori di Ferrara, ma sono anche gli anni che vedono la fine della prosperità di Codigoro a causa della Rotta di Ficarolo, avvenuta nel 1152, a causa della quale il corso fluviale del Po si spostò a nord prosciugando le acque del Volano fino all'abbandono dell'Abbazia di Pomposa e di Codigoro dai monaci benedettini. Hanno inizio quindi le opere di bonifica del territorio, iniziate nel 1464 e terminate nel 1580, promosse dai duca d'Este e che riuscirono, anche se in piccola parte, a rendere più vivibile il territorio codigorese.

Successivamente, dal 1600 al 1604, infatti la Repubblica di Venezia attuò una modifica al flusso del Po di Levante facendolo sboccare più a sud in territorio ferrarese rendendo così vane le opere idrauliche portate a compimento dagli Este. Le opere di bonifica riprendono nel 1598 quando Ferrara passò sotto il dominio dello Stato della Chiesa sino alla metà dell'Ottocento quando vennero costruiti i primi impianti idrovori e venne attuata la bonifica del circondario Polesine di Ferrara.

Secoli XX e XXI
Nel 1899 la "Società Anonima Codigoro", proprietaria di grandi estensioni terriere in Romagna, è tra le fondatrici dell'azienda saccarifera genovese Eridania. Nello stesso anno viene inaugurato a Codigoro il primo stabilimento per la raffinazione industriale dello zucchero.

A Codigoro Giorgio Bassani ha ambientato gran parte del suo romanzo L'airone (1968).

Monumenti e luoghi d'interesse

Architetture religiose
 Abbazia di Pomposa. Rappresenta uno dei monumenti religiosi più importanti del Nord Italia, eretta nel IX secolo su una fondazione longobarda preesistente e dimora dei Benedettini.
 Duomo di San Martino Vescovo.
 Chiesa dei Santi Pietro e Paolo Apostoli nella frazione di Mezzogoro.
 Sant'Eurosia, ora Auditorium Sant'Eurosia, ex oratorio Corte Vecchia.

Architetture civili

 Palazzo del Vescovo: costruito per volere dei Benedettini, l'edificio rappresentava la sede amministrativa di Codigoro e Pomposa. Anticamente denominato Domus Dominicata il palazzo fu oggetto di restauro in stile veneziano nel 1732 e ceduto al vescovo di Comacchio da cui oggi ne deriva il nome. Oggi ospita la biblioteca comunale Giorgio Bassani ed è sede di manifestazioni culturali.
 Torre della Finanza: fu realizzata durante i primi anni del Settecento per controllare le rotte commerciali sulle sponde del Po di Volano. Fu fatta erigere dal Governo Pontificio ma, a causa della continua erosione della costa su cui si ergeva, la costruzione venne completamente distrutta durante una mareggiata nel 1729. Fu ricostruita a cominciare dal 1739 ed ultimata nel 1741 per essere adibita a caserma della Guardia di Finanza fino ai primi anni del Novecento.
Chiavica dell'Agrifoglio: struttura sita sulla sinistra idraulica del Po di Volano, poco ad est della celebre Abbazia di Pomposa, è visibile dalla strada che dalla statale Romea conduce alla frazione di Volano. Eretta nel XVII secolo, fu ampliata nel secolo successivo e serviva a trasferire le acque del territorio pomposiano nel Po di Volano. La metamorfosi del territorio negli ultimi tre secoli, dovuta a cause sia naturali sia artificiali, hanno portato la chiavica ad essere inutilizzabile.

After days of repeated calls from Vodafone (Greek version), all of which I have ignored or blocked, having checked the number, I have just received a call from a Uk mobile, which I answered. Rapid Greek and call cut when I asked, in Greek, if the caller spoke English. Caller id; Vodafone again. Another number to block!
Many years ago, in the UK, when I was new to mobile phones, Vodafone were my telco.
After a little while, I left them, because I was unhappy with their service - mainly customer support, I think it was.
Having issued the request to terminate the contract, Vodafone phoned me - it was a woman, from some sort of customer support department.
She first asked me, in a way which I think was prefunctory - like the opening pitch - why I was leaving.
I explained to her it was because I felt Vodafone treated people like objects.
She then had to go through a pre-set list of three offers, one by one, offering the futher (and larger) offer when the previous offer was declined. It was robotic - "will you stay if we give you x". "No." "Will you stay if we give you x and y?" "No."
This is the most ironic conversation I've had with a telco.
My Vodafone 'Hotel California' experience.
3 years ago I took out an 18 month contract for mobile internet with Vodafone at their Souda shop.
When the contract expired I moved to Cosmote land line internet/phone and popped in to their Souda branch to say I did not want to renew and would be returning their equipment.
I was told they need a months notice even though my contract was about to come to an end.
They then added a month to my contract and charged me.
I was told by the assistant in Souda branch he needed 20euro in cash to complete paperwork to have my contract 'cancelled' at the end of the 18 months period which was about 2 weeks away.
They assured me my contract would then end. It didn't.
I was then put on a new contract and charged for it despite telling them several times I no longer had any use for their services.
Luckily my payments came off a credit card so I contacted the credit card company, explained Vodafone staff had extorted money from me and had refused to end my contract continuing to take money from my account.
Legal action was then taken and although I did not get my money back Vodafone finally removed me as a customer from their service.
Vodafone...'you can check out any time you like but you can never leave'. Would not touch them with a barge pole.
Had exactly the same thing with Cosmote. Took 4 months , endless visits to HQ in Chania and 18 Euros even though contract had expired!
You still can't send an SMS/text from a Greek Vodafone mobile to a UK 02 mobile, just saying.

Numbers that start with 01 or 02 are typically used for home or business landlines.
Standard mobile phone and pager numbers in the United Kingdom, Channel Islands and Isle of Man are eleven digits long and begin with '07'.
Isn't O2 a telecoms company?
Sorry. Not thinking clearly. I read it as a "zero two" number not "O2". My mistake.
Actually you were right, in a way. paul g typed 02 when, correctly, it should be o2!
If you look at the O2 web site, Tim it is highly variable. They tend to use upper case O - subscript 2, upper case O - normal 2 and lower case o - normal 2 on the same page. The lower case o - normal 2 only seems to be used in their web address, which is pretty normal. Since it is not possible to do subscripts properly on here, Paul's is probably the best way to write it.
Other UK mobile operators that piggyback on the O2 network will probably be affected as well.
I've just done some experiments with Scooby, who is now back in the UK, who used to run a mobile phone business and who has both an O2 and an EE mobile. Text to O2 from a Greek Vodafone handset didn't get through. One to EE from the same Greek Vodafone handset did.
It is worth checking that you have the correct message centre number set on your handset. For Vodafone Greece it is +306942190000. When you send a message it goes to the Vodafone message centre number first. From there Vodafone send it on to the O2 message centre number and from there O2 send it to the O2 handset. On my phone, a Samsung, you find it by tapping on messages, then the 3 little dots at top right, then on settings, then on more settings and then on text messages. The message centre number is at the bottom of the list. It may be different on other makes of phone. It will probably be correct or you wouldn't be able to send texts to any operator.
Either the problem is at the O2 end or a problem between Vodafone Greece and O2. Probably each will blame the other.
One way round the problem, if you and your contacts all have smart phones, is to use WhatsApp. That has a text messaging service that works just like SMS but it does it through the Internet. If you are connecting to the Internet with WiFi, either your own or at a free hotspot, then it is free. Scooby and I were communicating with text through WhatsApp in parallel with sending test texts with SMS so it definitely gets through to an O2 phone through WhatsApp.
yeah, message centre number route has been gone down all ok, have loads of alternatives, whatsapp on both numbers in my dual sim phone and skype. It's just annoying that Vodafone know of the problem but seem very slow to rectify it (the Greek way).

There is a ton of goodness going on here. An all over pattern Persian Mahal with age, superb hand made art and quite a lot of style! This rug has gorgeous floral-geometric medallions throughout. The shades of green has our hearts throbbing as we rarely see green in antique rugs. We know the artisans meant business! The rug sits on a madder red ground and the borders are deep indigo blue.
The spirit of this low pile rug is one we cherish and the wool is pretty darn soft! Let the kids crawl all they want!
Mahal rugs from Persia have been treasured for their luxurious color and pattern for decades and are becoming a trend-setter rug among interior designers for their sophisticated and super decorative aesthetic. This early 1900's Mahal is in excellent condition for its age and was woven with high quality and all natural wool that was dyed with vegetables, plants and flowers.

Hawks cope with injuries
Atlanta Hawks' Jamal Crawford (11) shoots over Miami Heat's Dwyane Wade (3) in the third quarter during Thursday's game in Miami. The Hawks defeated the Heat 93-89 in overtime. - photo by Associated Press
ATLANTA — Al Horford's sprained ankle could leave the Atlanta Hawks without two starters for at least two games, but there was no sense of panic Thursday.
The Hawks are confident they can withstand this latest test to the team's depth as they chase Miami in the Southeast Division.
In fact, the Hawks believe their win at Miami on Tuesday night was an important indicator they have better depth than the Heat, who have also had a recent rash of injuries.
"I would think that it does," Hawks coach Larry Drew said Thursday. "I think the bottom line is any team that loses a player that started, there has to be other players to step up. They have got to elevate their games."
The Hawks are only two games behind the first-place Heat, who have lost four straight. While Miami has stumbled, Atlanta has won eight of 10 despite playing nine straight games without Marvin Williams.
Horford hurt his right ankle early in the third period against Miami. Mo Evans had 11 points and Jamal Crawford had 19 off the bench to take pressure off top scorer Joe Johnson.
"We're playing with a lot of confidence," Evans said. "We've got guys on our bench who are hungry for an opportunity and hungry to prove their worth."
Horford did not practice Thursday and is listed as doubtful for the next two games, including a home game against New Orleans on Friday. The Hawks play at Charlotte on Saturday.
"The ankle is sore," Drew said. "It sounds like he's going to be day to day. We'll see how he is" Friday.
Williams continues to recover from a lower back injury. He returned to practice on Thursday, but he has not been cleared for any contact.
"From what I'm told, the back maybe still is a little weak," Drew said of Williams. "It's something we want to take our time with. We want him as close to 100 percent as possible."
The Hawks could open with Evans at small forward and Jason Collins at center against New Orleans. Drew said he expects more minutes from Zaza Pachulia and Josh Powell on the front line.
The injury to Horford provides only the latest in a series of lineup challenges for Drew.
Johnson was out nine games with an elbow injury. Crawford missed six games with back and toe injuries. Evans was out eight games with a sore knee.
The first half of the season has been a change from the 2009-10 team, which had few injuries and finished fourth in the Eastern Conference before losing in the second round of the playoffs.
"I think this year's team has definitely had a lot more adversity," Johnson said. "Somebody has always been out. I don't know if we've ever been fully healthy to where we're able to play together for a whole week.
"I think we're a lot more mature and it's starting to show out there on the court. We're starting to come together."
Drew, the former Hawks assistant under Mike Woodson who is in his first season as coach, has stressed defense and more balanced scoring as strengths to help the team overcome injuries.
The Hawks have four players scoring more than 16 or more points per game: Johnson, Josh Smith, Horford and Crawford. Williams and Mike Bibby also have averages in double figures.
"Guys have stepped up big-time," Drew said. "We feel the strength of our ballclub is not just one guy, it's us as a team. When we play both ends of the floor, we're a pretty good ballclub."

Mr. Weiss advises clients in a wide range of commercial and corporate matters. These matters tend to concentrate on the development, protection and commercial exploitation of computer and information technology and other intellectual property, but extend well beyond those bounds.
This includes the design and implementation of corporate structures and corporate governance programs, the design and implementation of strategic corporate initiatives, virtually all aspects of strategic corporate transactions (initial planning, due diligence, negotiation of the terms of the transaction, closing the transaction and then the integration of the acquired operations into the surviving corporation), government contracts and general business matters.
Mr. Weiss advises clients whose sizes range from large, publicly-traded corporations to newly formed and emerging businesses. Mr. Weiss routinely serves as "outside general counsel" to his smaller clients who have no in-house legal staff, providing these clients with legal and other guidance on a very broad range of challenges facing them.
For nearly two decades, he served variously as General Counsel, Corporate Secretary and Vice President for publicly-traded, information technology companies. As General Counsel for Group 1 Software (Nasdaq - GSOF) for nearly 15 years, he managed all of the legal affairs of the company and its numerous domestic and foreign subsidiaries. His responsibilities included routinely advising senior management and the board of directors; compliance with SEC and Nasdaq requirements; management of the company's portfolio of intellectual property rights (copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets and patents); the negotiation (directly or indirectly through supervision of staff attorneys) of all commercial contracts of the company and its subsidiaries; of management of the affairs of an aggressive corporate acquisition program and ultimately the acquisition of Group 1 Software by Pitney Bowes (NYSE - PBI). Upon its acquisition of Group 1 Software, Mr. Weiss served as Special Consultant to the General Counsel of Pitney Bowes, facilitating the integration of Group 1 Software into its new parent company. Upon completion of that integration, Mr. Weiss assumed the position of Vice President and General Counsel for ViPS, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of WebMD/Emdeon Corporation (Nasdaq - HLTH). In this position, his responsibilities included management of all of the legal affairs of the company and coordination with the parent company and other subsidiaries on matters that extended beyond the province of ViPS.
Mr. Weiss has served as a member of the Senior Staff and Strategic Planning Committees of corporations. And he has served as a trustee for 401(k) Plans and Executive Deferred Compensation Plans for corporations. He has served as a member of numerous strategic advisory committees for his clients.
Mr. Weiss has assumed leadership positions in various Bar associations in the Washington metropolitan area. He has been a frequent lecturer, on such topics areas as intellectual property, mergers and acquisitions and corporate governance, in continuing legal education programs conducted by the Practicing Law Institute (PLI), the District of Columbia Bar, the Washington Metropolitan Corporation Counsel Association (WMACCA), the Association of Corporate Counsel (ACC) and other organizations. His commitment to pro-bono activities has included serving as President, Financial Secretary, Member of Executive Committees and member of Boards of Directors and Boards of Trustees of several prominent, non-profit community organizations in the Washington metropolitan area.
Mr. Weiss is admitted to practice in the District of Columbia, and before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia and the United States Supreme Court. He is a graduate of Dickinson College (BA, Cum Laude), the University of Illinois (MA, Wainer Fellow) and Georgetown University Law Center (JD, Cum Laude).

The April Island Batik challenge is baby quilts made with the Accuquilt Go! Accuquilt is an industry partner this year and generously sent every ambassador an Accuquilt Go! cutter, an 8" Cube set, and a 2 1/2" strip die. Talk about Happy Mail!!!! I wanted more of a scene than a traditional quilt block, so I combined Sawtooth Star blocks cut with the Cube with a train die I already owned. All aboard the Accuquilt Express!
I used the Flea Market collection; there are 20 prints in the collection and I used 14 in this project. In addition to a stack (10" squares) of the full collection, I was given yardage of a Mum in Weeds and Mum in Kiwi. I used the Weeds yardage for the ground and the binding, the Kiwi yardage for the sky/background, and a strip of Island Batik's new solid black for the train track and the wheels. The puffs of smoke coming from the engine are batik solid in gray. This quilt is 40" square.
I used a blanket stitch and Aurifil 1320 Bright Teal for the train applique. It blends beautiful with the teals of Flea Market. I love cross-hatch quilting and used Aurifil 2000 Light Stand.
The fabrics were provided to me by Island Batik. Accuquilt and Aurifil also provided materials that I used in this project.
I've had an Accuquilt cutter for a few years and I absolutely love it! The speed and ease and accuracy in cutting just cannot be beat. This was my first time using the Cube set and there are so many blocks you can make with these dies! I had the pieces cut out for the sawtooth star blocks in under five minutes.
I don't have a baby in my life right now who doesn't already have a quilt so this will be donated to my local Project Linus chapter. As I do with most of my donated quilts for babies and kids, this is backed with fleece. I love the weight of a quilt top + fleece (no batting) especially in the south when a heavy blanket often isn't needed. It's also soft and cuddly.
And of course, I had to set it up with a train track! I love how the bright fabrics mimic the colors of of our toy trains.
I love making baby quilts, so I was super excited about this challenge. I also think it's important that a baby quilt is still fun and relevant when the child is no longer a baby. Here's proof that my five-year-old approves of this quilt. And yes, he asked to be in a picture!
I really loved the colors and patterns in Flea Market and I'm pleased that it makes what I think is essentially a gender-neutral baby quilt. The teal train makes me happy every time I see it! You'll see these same fabrics in a completely different look in my May project!
I did not have many finishes in Quarter 1 of the globally hosted Finish Along. Here's hoping Quarter 2 is more productive!
My dad, a big tea drinker, has used the same tea cozy for my entire life. It's pretty shabby. He asked me to make him a new one. I've got the embroidery done, now I just need to create the cozy.
The baby from #2 also has a big sister. I'm still waiting to hear from her parents what Miren, age 3, is particularly fond of, so this one is undefined so far. It will likely be either a pillowcase or a small pillow.
I have a coworker expecting a baby boy this spring. I'm mostly done with this one, I just need baby boy to arrive so I can add name and birthdate to a label and sew it into the binding.
Here's a sneak peak of some of the improv from my May Island Batik project. I know, improv, me? But it will be glorious!
The theme for June is "Try a Technique." I've got several ideas and fabric pulls for all of them, I just need to choose and get started.
This was my hand-sewing project on trips in 2017 & 2018 and I finished the embroidery! Now I just need to turn it into a finished project. I'm super close to having this one done!
When I was Queen Bee in Stash Bee this January, I asked for penguin blocks. I'm so excited to create this Waddle of Penguins!
In Bee Inspired, I asked for simple and fun sailboat blocks for a charity quilt. I received enough to make two quilts. Ahoy, Matey!
I've been doing the QAL hosted by Sherry of Powered by Quilting from her Hidden Stars pattern. I have most of my sub-units pieced and think it will go quickly once I get the blocks assembled.
I'm pleased to have my bee blocks done before the halfway point of April. I like having a little breathing room!
In Bee Inspired, we aren't a traditional bee this year but a few of us are taking turns asking for blocks that will be made into charity quilts. Ann of Brown Paws Quilting asked for chicken blocks. Aren't they cute?! The original tutorial is from Sew Inspired. The comb is a bit fiddly but overall I'm happy with this flock.
Queen Karen of Stash Bee asked for red and pink heart blocks that she will make into a quilt for a child in foster care. This is such a fun quick block that I made three.
I love know blocks I made end up in quilts all over the world but I am especially pleased that many of them end up donated to people who need something to brighten their day. I hope these hearts and chickens find great homes and put a smile on someone's face.
As for the adventure, yesterday I met Carole of From My Carolina Home in person! It's always great to meet online quilty friends in real life! Carole is the organizer behind Carolina Hurricane Quilts for those impacted by Hurricane Florence in 2018. For folks in North Carolina, Carole has made arrangements with 5 quilts shops across the state to be drop-off points. I'm her runner for the Charlotte area/southern Piedmont shop. So yesterday morning I loaded up the 10 quilts that have been dropped off at Quilt Patch Fabrics as well as one I made and drove to meet Carole about halfway between our homes.
Carole has all the pictures of the two of us (plus our delicious sushi lunch) on her camera, so we'll have to wait until after Easter for those. Here are the eleven quilts in the trunk of my car and the restaurant sign can be seen through my open trunk window. We'll get together again in July or August to transfer any other donations. The quilt drive is open for several more months and she is able to match completed tops to willing long-armers, so if you are looking for a place to donate quilts or tops, check out all the info here.
Last fall, I visited my college friend Jen. We've known each other a long time and I know her family, too. I was sent home with 2 big boxes of fabric and other craft supplies from Jen's mom, Judy. Judy, a life-long crafter, realized she won't use all her craft supplies in her lifetime so as the essentially adopted daughter, I was given a TON of fabric and other sewing supplies. Much of the fabric was fat quarters, both lose and in coordinated bundles. I had been seeing all the quilts that Nancy of Grace and Peace Quilting made in 2018 using the Simple Gifts pattern from the booklet Fat Quarter Love by Weeks Ringle & Bill Kerr and decided this was a pattern I needed to own.
From a lovely coordinated bundle of fall fabrics, I picked out four that I liked together and presto! Another fun finish!
I know, it's a fall quilt being photographed in spring. Perhaps it looks more fall-like on a barn?
Both are quilted with cross-hatch quilting and bound with whatever leftover binding I had that seemed to go with the main fabrics. Simple Gifts sews up very quickly and I can see making quite a few more! You'll be seeing many more quilts made with the fabrics Judy gave me. These will both go to my local chapter of Project Linus.
of projects needed for my PhD (Projects Half Done) with Quilting Gail.
I have chosen an April goal for the One Monthly Goal linky party hosted by Patty of Elm Street Quilts. This year, I want to make my bee blocks into a finished quilt early in the year! I was queen of Stash Bee in January and asked my hive-mates to make these fabulous penguin blocks, pattern by Lorna of Sew Fresh Quilts.
I am now the proud owner of 16 lovely penguins. My goal for April is to sew them into a completed top. Truth be told, I'd love to get an entire quilt finished, but a top is more realistic for this month.
Two of my really close friends from college had a baby girl last fall. That baby has an older sister, Samantha, age 6. I wanted to have a big sister gift for Samantha when I gifted the baby quilt. I asked her parents what she was particularly into. I got a few suggestions and the one that jumped out at me was "aquarium fish." So I made this fish pillow!
The fish are Kona Lipstick, Valentine, Grellow, Cerise, and Carrot. The background is Kona Candy Blue. I used my wavy line stitch for the quilting so it would look like the fish were swimming in the ocean.
I love the envelope pillow method from Amanda Jean of Crazy Mom Quilts and that's how I make all my pillows. She does not use a backing on the quilted part but I do. I typically use muslin since it's inexpensive and won't show in the finished project. I had *just* enough Candy Blue to make the back of the pillow. It looks all nice and neat before I stuffed a 20" IKEA pillow form in there!
For labeling, I used a trick I learned from Paige of Quilted Blooms. She saw a pillow I made my son for his birthday and suggested that I write a birthday message on the inside of the pillow. I do that with all my pillows now! Here is my dedication, lousy handwriting and all.
This fish pillow joins Rainbow Elephant Parade on their way to baby and big sister. I know, I finished Rainbow Elephant almost 6 months ago and hadn't sent it yet!
I think these two compliment each other well. I even did wavy quilting for both, and that was not on purpose! Happy accident, I guess.
This pillow is on my list of projects needed for my PhD (Projects Half Done) with Quilting Gail and was #2 on my list of Q1 finish along goals.
When I saw that the March theme for the Island Batik Ambassadors was Vintage Reimagined, I knew exactly what pattern inspiration I wanted to use. My paternal grandmother, Mildred, was a quilter. Unfortunately, our quilting years never overlapped. About two years ago my dad brought me a box of quilting related stuff that his sister had put together for me. In that box were three patterns that Mildred saved from Mountain Mist batting when they included a pattern on the backside of the wrapper. One of those patterns was Oklahoma Dogwood with a copyright date of 1949.
Well, if that isn't the perfect pattern name for me, I don't know what is. Obviously, with a blog named The Darling Dogwood, I have a love for dogwoods. They have always been among my favorite signs of spring and have the distinction of being the state flower of both the state where I was born (Virginia) and the state where I live (North Carolina). And though I've never lived in Oklahoma, I have roots there. Grandma Mildred was born in Oklahoma Territory in 1905. My grandfather Oakley was born in Oklahoma Territory in 1902; both are buried in Oklahoma. My dad and his sister were both born in Oklahoma.
Here's what is included about the origin of this pattern: The "Oklahoma Dogwood" quilt is an original and conventional design by Harriet Smith. A Blue Ribbon Winner at the Long Island Fair, this quilt has had recognition at the Women's International Exposition of Arts and Industries at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
Being a pattern from 1949, the pieces were intended to be cut from a template and weren't what would today be considered a standard size. One part of my re-imagining was to use more modern construction methods like strip-piecing. I photo-copied the pattern and made myself templates from the basic shapes.
Then I used strip piecing to create checkerboard blocks. For the smaller blossoms, I made five 4-patch units and sewed them together in a cross. Then I centered the template on top, traced with a frixion pen, and cut out the blossom shape.
I knew I didn't want the weight of a fusible web on the entire shape, so I used a new-to-me product, Wonder Tape by Dritz. It's a wash-away double-sided fusible tape that is 1/4" wide. I cut a few strips and places them around the perimeter of the blossom. I just needed it to stay adhered to the background for long enough to stitch around the edges.
Yes, I label my paper scissors "paper ok"
Here it is with the paper back peeled off the Wonder Tape. The background fabric is Swirl in Opal. I love the subtle color changes in the swirl patterns. Each of the small blossoms in the corner of the finished quilt is a 12" finished square.
For the large center dogwood blossom, I made a 16-patch block for each petal. Since dogwoods have four petals on each blossom, I made four 16-patch blocks. Then I used my petal template to trace and cut the shape. When appliqueing to the background, I fused and stitched two petals opposite each other first, then I added the other two petals. It appears I forgot to take pictures of this step. The center block with the large dogwood blossom is 24" square.
The fabrics were provided to me by Island Batik. Hobbs also provided materials that I used in this project. I went through everything sent to me by Island Batik and picked out all the pink. Most dogwood tress in my area have white blossoms but I do occasionally see a pink dogwood. I had surprisingly little pink. Remember the pink Island Batik fabrics I bought on Local Quilt Shop Day? I bought those to supplement my pinks for this project.
I used a pink variegated thread from King Tut that I've had forever to blanket stitch around all of the dogwood blossoms.
I used a silk blend batting from Hobbs Tuscany Collection. This was my first time using silk batting and I loved how it stitched.
I quilted Oklahoma Dogwood with a large continuous spiral. I set my stitch guide at just under an inch. That's much more dense than I normally quilt but I absolutely love the texture it has now. I used another King Tut variegated thread, Mummy's Dearest. It has a subtle change of pastel colors. I love how the soft color changes mimic the color variations in the Island Batik background fabric.
It's worth noting that my version uses far fewer dogwood blossoms than the original. I found an image from the International Quilt Study Center & Museum in Lincoln, Nebraska of an Oklahoma Dogwood quilt circa 1949. You can see it here. Be sure to hover over the photo to see close-ups of the hand quilting.
My Oklahoma Dogwood finishes at 48" square. I love this quilt so much! I'm so glad that I found the quilt pattern that my Grandmother set aside all those years ago. Thanks, Island Batik, for giving me the opportunity to recreate a vintage quilt!

Mary Anna Custis Lee, född 1 oktober 1807 på en plantage i nordvästra Virginia, död 5 november 1873 i Lexington, Virginia var konstnär, författare och hustru till Robert E. Lee, amerikansk militär och konfederationens överbefälhavare under det amerikanska inbördeskriget.

Biografi
Mary Anna Custis Lee föddes på Annefieldplantagen i Clarke County, Virginia. Hon var enda barnet till George Washington Parke Custis och Mary Molly Lee Fitzhugh Custis och fann lekkamrater bland familjens slavflickor. Molly läste Bibeln för sin dotter och från fem år fick hon hjälpa till med trädgårdsarbete. Från sex år fick hon undervisning av privatlärare i historia, litteratur, filosofi, latin och grekiska. 1818 flyttade familjen till Arlington House strax utanför Washington, D.C. Hennes far, som kallades Wash berättade många historier och legender från frihetskriget och många av USA:s ledande män kom ofta på besök till deras hem. 1824 kom Marquis de Lafayette på ett tredagarsbesök och Lee var stolt över att kunna tala franska med den gamla hjälten från belägringen av Yorktown.

Konstnär och författare
Lee hade redan som barn en talang för teckning och liksom sin far en duktig konstnär. Hon målade fina landskap som man fortfarande kunde se från Arlington House. En liten målning av en slavflicka finns bevarad på ett galleri på Manhattan. Hon hjälpte sin mamma i trädgården och blev en skicklig trädgårdsmästare. Hon älskade rosor och hade elva arter i sin blomsterträdgård.

Lee skrev många brev till sin man när denne var i fält. Något år George Washinton Parke Custis dog började hon teckna ner och redigera sin fars biografi. Den gavs ut 1860 under titeln. Recollections and Private Memoirs of Washington, by his Adopted Son George Washington Parke Custis, with a Memoir of this Author by his Daughter.

Slavmotståndare
Familjen ägde många slavar på plantagen i Väst Virginia och Arlington House. År 1820 diskuterades slavfrågan och ledde fram till Missourikompromissen som innebar att stater norr om 36° breddgraden skulle avskaffa slaveriet. Lee's mor Molly stöttade detta förslag och blev abolitionist. Hon och hennes man planerade för att frige sina slavar och förbereda dem för ett liv i frihet. Mary Lee började lära slavkvinnor att sy, läsa och skriva och blev själv abolitionist. Molly engagerade sig i American Colonization Society.

Familj

Lee gifte sig den 30 juni 1831 med Robert E. Lee, en ung löjtnant tjänstgörande vid Fort Monroe. Ceremonin ägde rum i hennes familjs hem. De fick tre söner och fyra döttrar:

George Washington Custis Lee (1832-1913)
Mary Custis Lee (1835-1918)
William Henry Fitzhugh "Rooney" Lee (1837-1891)
Anne Carter Lee (1839-1862)
Eleanor Agnes Lee (1841-1873)
Robert E.Lee,Jr. (1843-1914)
Mildred Childe Lee (1845-1905)

Inbördeskriget
Lee drabbades av reumatoid artrit och när det Amerikanska inbördeskriget bröt ut efter skotten i Fort Sumter den 12 april 1861 hade hon svårt att gå och innan året var slut blev hon bunden till rullstol. Robert E. Lee begärde avsked från den federala armén den 22 april och bad sin hustru att ta med sig sina döttrar och lämna hemmet som låg alldeles utanför Washington, D.C. Han befarade att Arlington House skulle konfiskeras, och så skedde också. Det var ett svårt slag för Lee, och hon och döttrarna blev krigets första flyktingar. Efter ett år av tillfälliga bostäder på olika plantager fick de en fristad i Richmond, Virginia.

Efter kriget
Efter kriget kunde familjen återförenas och flyttade till Lexington, Virginia. Robert E. Lee blev rektor för Washington and Lee University till sin död 1870. Lee vänder sig till USA:s kongress och försöker få tillbaka Arlington House, men utan resultat. Hon reser till sitt gamla hem strax före sin död men är för svag för att stiga ur sin vagn och dör den 5 november 1873 i Lexington.

I'm so psyched about tomorrow's gig because I've heard a lot about the place – and it'll be my first time setting foot into the venue.
From their website and the pictures I've seen, it's quite a massive establishment which can seat up to 250 people, split into two levels – easily one of the biggest places I'll be playing at.
And the best part is that they are dedicated to showcasing original music from all over the world! If you're into this, TAB is definitely worth checking out.
More details about this event can be found here. Can't wait to see you there!
