Design Wall Monday – March 21, 2011

March 21, 2011

The border blocks for Making Ends Meet are on my design wall.

That’s where they still are . . on the design wall.  Maybe today I’ll get the top finished.  Yesterday was just too pretty to stay inside and sew.

Note:  I may have given up on Mr. Linky so I’m trying a new link service today.  Give it some time before you tell me you don’t like it . . let’s see if this one is more dependable.  I’ll check here in an hour or so and see how the links are working.  If you have any problems, let me know.  It may take a few weeks to get any kinks worked out.  Thanks!

What’s on your design wall?

It was pretty yesterday, but it was so windy here, it wasn’t much fun being outside.

No issues with the new link service for me! Your border blocks alone look fabulous!

Easy link up! Loving the border squares! You have so much patience, I rarely do any borders, even solids, mine tend to come out ripply & wonky and I’m impatient to finish, lol…

With four links to look at, all look great. So far, so good on new format. The quilts themselves all really shine.

I got it! It took me a minute to figure it out, but I’m still half asleep.

We had rain and thunder yesterday, but I’m hoping for a pretty day today.

I don’t have a post to share today, but just wanted to say how great the links look with everyone’s quilt photos next to their names. Fantastic! :)

Wow! Love the picture thumbnails.

I like the new thumbnails – really helps me to decide which blogs to visit when I’m short on time (I’d love to visit all of them each week – but there is never, ever enough time!) I like the border blocks – the really say “Spring” to me!

Neat links! More hot weather in Florida. I’m trying to be more adventurous adding borders to my quilts, but often resort to plain ones. Sometimes the interior of the quilt is so busy, it needs a plain border! That’s my story, and I sticking with it!

I love the new linky tool.

I LOVE this new link service! My link was very easy to add and it is so much fun to actually see a photo for each link. Very cool. Got to love modern technology – if one thing doesn’t work, try another and maybe you will even like it better. If you never try, you never will know. So, thank you for being our link to each other and keep trying for our sakes. Thank you! Your border is looking great. Cheers! Evelyn

On the viewing end, I like the thumbnail pics of what’s on everyone’s design wall.

I like the thumbnail pictures. :) I’m patiently waiting for spring to arrive. I think maybe in a week or 2 it will show up here. Maybe!

I think I’m really going to like it. The thumbnail images are great.

I never had a problem with Mr. Linky, but I like this interface because of the images … it was always a little disappointing to follow a “Design Wall Monday” link and land on a message saying “there’s nothing on my design wall.” I’m lhoping the adding-an-image step reinforces the “show & tell” nature of Design Wall Monday.

Hey thats a pretty cool link tool! I love the colors of your “making ends meet” glad you enjoyed yesterday outside!

34 Tricia March 21, 2011 at 10:15 am

I LOVE that you can see all the design walls with this new link tool! It makes me all the more likely to click on a few of them-which is the point of the whole post!

It poured here in SoCalif (we got over 3 inches–wow) and that was a perfect day to spend playing with fabric.

Judy, can the font size change on the Link that is shown on your website? I do like the thumbnails. So what do we call this Linky Software. Must mean bye bye to Mr. Linky! Hmm Judy has a new guy…

40 Joan B. March 21, 2011 at 11:24 am

I don’t link because I don’t have a blog. However, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the little pictures of what everyone has on their design walls! I can see it all and then click on the ones I want more info on! WAY COOL!

I like the new Mr Linky with the Pictures. A sneak peek to the post. Thanks for hosting and showing us new things Judy. My wall looks pitiful today. But I didn’t want to wait to try the new Mr linky so that’s how it looks for real!

I love seeing everyone’s projects in the links. It loads a little slowly on my old laptop, but I don’t mind! My main computer died last week so I am way behind on things going on here.

Love being able to look at the pictures and pick which ones I want to look more closely at!

50 Kathy B in TN March 21, 2011 at 2:55 pm

I totally echo the sentiments here – the picture thumbnails are MUCH better – I never clicked on very many when it was just a list. The pictures make me want to “visit” more!

Reply

51 Pat McGuire March 21, 2011 at 3:40 pm

I like the design wall report with the little pictures up with the person’s name. I can get a quick look and decide which ones I want to look at in better detail. It usually takes me most of the week to check all the sites out and this may save me some time.

52 Chris March 21, 2011 at 10:25 pm

No picture to link to, but I really like the thumbnails of everyone’s work. I can take a quick look and get inspired.

Love the thumbnails too. What a great idea. It does help inspire me to look at all of them now. don’t have a blog, but this certainly inspires me to get going on one. Thanks Judy. You are a WonderWoman in many fields. Dar in MO

I, also, am loving the pictures! This is wonderful. Now, if I can’t get to all the blogs, at least I can see what they have on their design wall. Hopefully next Monday I will be back to posting again.

Loving the thumbnail linky you are using now!

59 Katherine March 23, 2011 at 9:39 am

I’m sorry to say that I never clicked the links for the design wall before, but with the thumbnails there are several that I want to investigate more. I hope you keep this feature.
