The first time we visited after the Wisconsin winter.<br />All good.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">This Blog is a history of the resulting wedding quilt to date. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">I had seen the Great Lakes quilt print. It reminded me of my grandpa Adam who spent most of his work life keeping the engines on great lakes car ferries running. It caught my attention in the past. I saw it again on the shop hop and bought it. Now I needed a use for it. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">My youngest niece, Lucy was given an engagement ring over the 2021 Christmas holidays. Lucy has a heritage with an interesting history. Why not use that as a starting point for her wedding quilt.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">The Great Lakes print measured out at ~ 23" X 23". That meant the other patches would have to adapt to the print. The 1001 patchwork patterns book was pulled from the shelf and research ensued. Then drafting. Then pulling scraps from my stash. Then sewing. It is hard to coordinate different patch patterns to end the same with the same final dimension. Different widths of lattice were added to some of the patches to bring a consistent 25" X 25" finished patch size. Whew!!!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Of course, why not add a hard deadline of the Marinette County fair to the project.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">I don't know why the note on the judging ticket mentioned my need to improve the miters on the quilt corners.... They were finished the night before the fair drop off.... A hard press would have fixed the issue. <br /> DYK I spent hours picking out and resewing stitches to get precise points on 3 types of triangles? <br /> DYK I spent hours keeping the grainlines true? <br /> DYK I constructed the only Wisconsin state patch, ever? Guaranteed designed by a stoned math major, hallucinating fractals. <br /> DYK the quilt is hand tied with variegated crochet cotton to leave the precision points exposed for judging? </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">But.. crisp points on quilt corners through 15 layers of fabric tickled this judge's funny bone. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">12 patches were arranged 3 by 4 rows. It is ~ 75" X 100". It took two photos to show it below.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgX3vdWvIQnk5wl1K42k7eFacabhyGrI5zaqh4OrTjVCGtk5bCrc6kdRrHXIRHO3mf45657KhOADB4VLpwzYLqco5E_iEZpnI8T-T8cThz4Klfq2vEBPrIg2vnd5YILGz80ElPEwkm8GIsv_HIBk07LU_mbu-N-9_Fwr67Vjlxt5jBjZUrj6BfjnbJM/s621/02220829LucysQuilt02%20(2).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="621" data-original-width="404" height="595" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgX3vdWvIQnk5wl1K42k7eFacabhyGrI5zaqh4OrTjVCGtk5bCrc6kdRrHXIRHO3mf45657KhOADB4VLpwzYLqco5E_iEZpnI8T-T8cThz4Klfq2vEBPrIg2vnd5YILGz80ElPEwkm8GIsv_HIBk07LU_mbu-N-9_Fwr67Vjlxt5jBjZUrj6BfjnbJM/w387-h595/02220829LucysQuilt02%20(2).jpg" width="387" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGrPyw1hCmnNfaQzbusf0OZSd4eDwnCR8dpd2uYCqLeK59t-TZsSwgXQB2euLreBwISQUf-G1R5n7mclXEYFeLfGbxppc_NiP2yrvLw-Yi24l3UrKOmIcZhT3EpBTp1Ya-G6Lkq2YGMtAP3Wak0j-QO4rx8onzW-jDx8uTtZinFt4b24ndEbtcCy3I/s539/02220829LucysQuilt01%20(2).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="539" data-original-width="370" height="556" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGrPyw1hCmnNfaQzbusf0OZSd4eDwnCR8dpd2uYCqLeK59t-TZsSwgXQB2euLreBwISQUf-G1R5n7mclXEYFeLfGbxppc_NiP2yrvLw-Yi24l3UrKOmIcZhT3EpBTp1Ya-G6Lkq2YGMtAP3Wak0j-QO4rx8onzW-jDx8uTtZinFt4b24ndEbtcCy3I/w383-h556/02220829LucysQuilt01%20(2).jpg" width="383" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlj80ZvWpQV--4Xtb5L4-nO3esykRFns776-0Dym18fbvM9-DSi3-wi3E1-hFAP6SZ-NbRdQvAvsbIv2xFFZDq3wU_bXrFUeA629qhDuy57Xc0qU6C-lPtjrE6HAJ_0IJ4LJCnRO3QKaFZgFL--CwRAHMRYU8eIjeSv3g_QcmG4TbiZ7G4Fqo63J-e/s154/20220829LucysQuiltRibbon%20(2).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="126" data-original-width="154" height="126" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlj80ZvWpQV--4Xtb5L4-nO3esykRFns776-0Dym18fbvM9-DSi3-wi3E1-hFAP6SZ-NbRdQvAvsbIv2xFFZDq3wU_bXrFUeA629qhDuy57Xc0qU6C-lPtjrE6HAJ_0IJ4LJCnRO3QKaFZgFL--CwRAHMRYU8eIjeSv3g_QcmG4TbiZ7G4Fqo63J-e/s1600/20220829LucysQuiltRibbon%20(2).jpg" width="154" /></a><span style="font-family: arial;">Yes, this is a blue ribbon from the 2022 Marinette county fair.

Rag Rugs in Overshot</h2>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had warp left on the loom and scraps left from graduation blankets along with a stash of 1970's fabrics gifted to me. This is the same warp set up as the green rugs woven in rose path, summer 2019. Below is the result. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The loom has been dismantled. Ready to be transported to Wausaukee. The hope is to add a sun room to that house with room for my floor loom and a sleeping swing. The thought of weaving in the winter, watching the deer browse by is something to look forward to.</div>

The above is how the rugs came off the loom. Remember, all the same warp. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Below is woven in tabby using cut up sweatshirts and leggings (burgundy) with the sheer insert. Note how the warp shifted between the lycra and sheer of legging fabrics. Lesson learned.</div>

The rug below shows both sides because I used a modified rosepath treadling. Each side will be different. The materials used were scraps from my stash cut to about 1.5" wide strips for the overshot, and yardage of a fabric gifted to me for the tabbly. It twinkles in the subtle color changes. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The tabby is a beautiful pima cotton print from the 70's given to me by a woman who worked at Mary Lester's fabric store back in the 70's. Her daughters do not sew. I was the lucky recipient of her fabrics. (I gave some to a craft group in Crivitz. Some went to my daughter. The rest has been added to my collection.) It was printed with dyes that are no longer used due to their carcinogenic nature. No longer something I would consider to wear. But, there will be much enjoyment from it as a rug.</div>

Below is a rug, also woven in a modified rosepath. This time is scrap jersey and sweatshirt fabric cut to 1' width. Turquoise, teal and grey. Scraps from sewing projects for my children and a worn out running shirt Larry loved to rags. Notice how nicely the pattern flows. Tabby was also done in the jersey.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The grey and black sweat shirt filler was cut to 1" wide and woven in a tabby pattern. There is something satisfying in a traditional weave.</div>

Leftover sweat fabrics from Auburn and UWM graduation blankets. The patch strips were narrowed from 6" to 1" and sewn together. The lengths were divided in half so the rug would be mirror image without having to count rows. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wove a modified rosepath in the edges and tabby in the main portion of the rug. It works. A bit outside of my color preferences. In the right room it will blend to perfection.</div>

I did enjoy watching the colors interact with the warp and each filler chosen. The warp is prominent in tabby. Overshot dominates visually. Much more to explore.</div>

The photo above better shows the reason why we are looking forward to the power company putting in underground lines in 2020. .... The power line is currently routed through the pine tree. This property is the last house on the line. Not such a good place to be when the wind blows, rain comes, snow falls, reindeer fly... It is time for it to go underground, or we set up a back up system.</div>

<br />
My list of gifting for celebrations is:<br />
- High school pillow blanket of fleece and wind stop.<br />
- First post high school gift is a blanket made of sweat shirt fabric lined in a fleece. The colors are those of the college(s) using actual deconstructed sweatshirts, if available.<br />
- First wedding is traditional patched top with batting between. Most are tied.<br />
- First baby is going to whimsical. After all... I am a textile artist.<br />
<br />
This posting is documenting what I am working on, along with back stories. I love telling back stories.<br />
<br />
The full sized blanket below was patched in 2018. I ran out of steam last summer and it sat while I tried to learn to walk without reaching for a wall.<br />
<br />
In the interim I found a stash of calicoes suitable for the backings at St. Vinnies. Basis the quality and quantity... a quilt store must have closed and stock was donated.<br />
<br />
There was enough extra material left to make 3 queen sized pillow cases.<br />
<br />
I finished it last week.. The hardest part was getting up from the floor after a session of tying.<br />
<br />

The work in progress below is at the retirement house. I rediscovered it in the basement while going through things deciding which to move up north and which to donate.<br />
<br />
The original patches came from an auction over a quarter century ago. Other people's projects are rarely precise, nor sufficient to finish a project. The patches needed the structure of being surrounded by plain pieces, along with the addition of more fabric to make a sizable quilt. The pieced patches are of 1930's - 1940's shirt weight fabric. The melon colored square fabric is 1980's linen type fabric. the backing is large pieces that came in the same box, patched together in a hodge podge.<br />
<br />
My work on this quilt has gone from hand quilting to machine quilting. Now I am back to hand quilting at the end of the day when I cannot quiet my mind.<br />

Below is the collection for the next college graduation blanket. There are also some well loved navy sweats I picked up resale Saturday, in the dryer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The Auburn sweats were found at the Goodwill in Waukesha, Wisconsin. That never would have been my first guess. (Although... years ago I found Marquette University sweats in Iron Mountain, Michigan.) The backing fleece was found on line. The balance of the scraps are from my other projects and a few work shirts donated by my handsome distance runner. I do like the colors laid out. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This will have to be a very large blanket as my nephew is well over 6' tall. I think I will cut the patches to 4" width strips to sew up to 3" widths when complete. </div>

This last weekend I went on line for inspiration. What other designs are out there using sweatshirts for blankets? Disappointed... is an under statement. Am I the only person who posts my work that is constructed beyond a simple album blanket? There are tons of talented textile artists posting. Why are there such primitive skills using deconstructed sweats?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There were machine quilted sweatshirt blankets. Why? The purpose of quilting was to extend the life of the precious material. My much used alum blanket is 25+ years old, and finally showing some wear. It takes a lot to wear out cotton - poly sweat shirts.</div>

The pile of sweats was deconstructed and sewn into strips 4" wide. The blue and white was strip pieced to squared. Then excel was put into action for an in-progress visual to work out dimensions, placement and color. I decided to try a one block drop with each row for interest. I liked the way it looked and that was the method I used.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is the first time I've posted the design portion because I did not know how to change the excel format to the JPG, GIF or PNG that Blogger requires. For those of you who do not know how, either I have written out the steps below. Courtesy of my on site IT son. 1- Print screen. 2- [windows key] + R. 3- MS paint. 4- Paste. 5- Crop (this is a symbol that looks like overlapping 'Ls'). 6- Save As. Just that simple.</div>

I did two variations. One with the orange border. One with the blue border. I did not know how much material was needed and did not want to do any more measuring. My girlfriend, Clara saw the printouts and liked the blue border better.<br />

<b>Updated November 8, 2019.</b><br />
The Auburn graduation blanket was completed early this morning. I am pleased. Then the epiphany occurred that there is one more graduation blanket to gift before the end of this year for my niece.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The top corner is tipped to show the backing. Auburn logo with a navy blue border in fleece.<br />
<br />

<br />
The pile of materials below will result in the next graduation blanket. I was not able to procure fleece for the back in school colors, as I was for Auburn. In Wisconsin, UW and Marquette are the colors to chose from. So, the Fleur di le black and white print is the choice I made for the back of blanket freece.<br />
<br />
Not quite sure if I will use the scraps from the giraffe baby blanket as UWM team animal is a panther. Decision made. No giraffes. This should be another fun design because she began at UW LaCross and is graduating from UW Milwaukee. Black, Gold and Cranberry. Nice Autumn / Holiday colors.<br />

Above is the finished blanket. Somewhere around 90" X 77". It is not small. The blocks are 2 yellow and black 4 patch sewn together with 2 burgundy and white 4 patch blocks. The resulting 16 patch block is bordered in grey with a mink-y fleece at the intersections.<br />
<br />
My son donated the UWM sweat. The gold patch came from a t-shirt that was given to incoming freshman and found at St. Vinnie's. The La Cross deconstructed sweat has no knowable history beyond slightly worn and donated for resale. The back geometric was found on line. The black fleece used throughout was from prior projects.<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> I took the weaving class to bring my weaving skills up to what was needed to finish project I started last year. It was a good thing it got put on hold when my meniscus began to act up and healing was required. I had no clue what I did not know. The meniscus healed as much as it will heal and slowly I am able to weave. I am up to 45 minute sessions at the loom. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">There was a rug begun using 2" wide strips of polyester knit started on the loom. Too bouncy. Too thick. Too loose for long term wear. That was finished off and sent to the garage for use.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The remaining 10 yards of Eisemann fabric was cut to 1" strips. It was enough for 2 rugs. Big enough to cover the hall. Small enough to fit in the washer and clean on delicate. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Of surprise is how heavy the rugs are and how drapey. It must be the knit fabric used. Most rag rugs are made from woven bottom weight cottons. Naturally stiff.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Now comes the fun part. Warped for Good posted a technique using overshot as a base for tapestry. There is enough carpet warp on the loom for one or two more rugs. Why not try this out in the same primitive currant pattern painted on the floor cloth? </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The finished rugs on the loom had a lot of loft, so I decided to cut them from the loom and re tie the warp to the front. I've done this many times before.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I was going to the retirement house in two days and wanted to take the finished rugs with me. That included washing the rugs to see how they fulled out once the tension and sizing was gone. It was hot and sticky and late. What could possibly go wrong? </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">On this heavy project a stick was brought out to start out the cut edge to add stability as I rolled on the rest of the finished rugs. That is the plan.... Instead what happened is the stick was put on the conveniently located top edge of the beater bar while I started tugging the finished rugs from the roll bar in the front. The bar jiggled and the stick fell between the beater bar and the heddles taking most of the warp in the reed with it. The result is what the photo to the right, below shows. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I warp front to back beginning with the reed off the loom. It is put in the loom after it is sleighed. Not possible now. Now the front bar will need to be removed. A short stool will be found and I will have to become one with the loom to re-sleigh the warp back through the reed. Yeah, the goal in my life is to sit with my left arm draped over the beater bar fishing the next warp from the heddles while pulling it through with the hook in my right hand, a couple hundred times.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">My Summer is full and I had hoped to sneak in a half hour here or there to try the tapestry technique. It looks like that will be put off for cooler weather. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Note:</b> I tried posting the verbage below on the True Green website. It would not take the message. I'm at a loss of what to do. Here is a company using chemicals in my yard without my knowledge before hand. Never had my permission. Would not have had my permission. And dead air for a response.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">June 1, 2019 a True Green yard tag was left in my yard along Cleveland Avenue. I contacted the local supplier and explained I was not a customer and was growing product for the local farmers market. I needed to be reassured the tag was an anomaly placed by some hooligan. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">June 12, 2019 a service receipt was tucked into my porch door and there were lawn tags on both the 109th and Cleveland Avenue sides of the property. I called the number on the receipt requesting a manager be sent out to my property to discuss what happened. No response so far.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In 3 weeks the plan was to take a remarkably productive crop of currants and black raspberries to the farmers market. To people who ask if I spray or am organic. Do you see where I am going? Your company's lack of quality control may have ruined my market season for 2019.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>6/23/19 post update</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>What I did:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">A- I sent out emails to friends who's perspective I respected.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">B- Emails were sent to BBB and the Wisconsin department of Agriculture.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">C- Conversations and on site inspections ensued.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">D- I kept an eye on my yard and quickly realized either the remarkable permaculture of the soil and/or the full day soaky rain that followed the treatment nullified or washed away the herbicide.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">There is a small bed of irises that is not doing well near the lot line in the front yard. It looks like
a big dog rolled on top of it. No curled up leaves. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I've not seen anything that I have
not seen before on my currant bushes growing near the treatment area. All
my weeds are still looking forward to their next mowing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">E- When asked what I wanted, I pulled from my pre-retirement experience in aerospace quality standards. Specifically the 8D process of non-conformance discovery.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">1- form a committee to investigate</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">2- describe the non conformance</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">3- what caused the non conformance?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">4- how to correct the problem?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">5- was the correction implemented?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">6- did the corrective action work?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">7- prove it</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">8- thank everyone for participating</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">F- Told my neighbor my lawn was being treated instead of her's. This information had not been shared with her by TruGreen. Angry does not come close to describing her response. They must have come to some agreement because there were lawn treatment tags on her lawn today. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">G: Early on Friday morning (June 21, 2019) I noticed the TruGreen truck idling by the 109th street side of my yard. It returned within 5 minutes. Stopped on the South side of the lot. The driver seemed confused and was looking down and stroking his chin. He continued idling by before I could speak with him.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I did call the global TruGreen number. Later when I got to my desk top and notes, I left a phone message for the TruGreen field supervisor and an email for the Wisconsin department of Agriculture. The message was: the TruGreen lawn guy was lost. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">TruGreen called later Friday and let me know the office was able to direct the driver to where he needed to go. Also, TruGreen offered me a financial gesture to cover the cost of my crop of berries they sprayed near. They also anticipate providing me with proof of changes to their address identification process at a later date.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I did explain the berries would go to market with a sign calling out the treatment of my lawn. This will allow my customers to make an informed decision on a berry purchase. TruGreen understood this. My plan is to apply this gesture as a reduction in the price I charge this year and next year, my final year selling from the property.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">In the middle of my challenge with
Trugreen was not a need to cripple. It was to make enough noise
to require them to fix an internal problem so they stopped
treating lawns accidentally. If their lawn tech has problems
with locating addresses, then they must set up a system that helps
him. </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The photo above was taken today. Note the healthy clover and dandelions growing beneath the red lake currant bush?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The plastic tarp over the pink champagne currant bush is to protect it from the dirty robins that have started sitting on the power line above. I should probably camp out on the upstairs porch for a day or two and knock them off with a garden hose spray.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This is the another side of the same bush. The yellowed leaves are from a fungus that shows up in wet years. The aphids I witnessed a month ago seem to have been eradicated by some beneficial insect in the yard. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Note the first blush of red in the berries. Whooooray!!</span></div>

The rest of the summer was spent hoping it would heal, then my Autumn and Winter were spent seeking help. The damage was to the meniscus over a knee with an existing spur (per ex-ray). </span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It took a combination of physical therapy, chiropractor, miles walked in the gym pool, compression leggings and an awareness of not putting extra stress on the leg while the knee heals. </span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">By the time healing was to the point walking and weaving on the floor loom was a possibility, I had forgotten how to proceed with this intricate pattern. (Moving from the floor to standing is still not back to pre-injury condition) Bless my friend Clara's heart. She was investigating local classes in weaving. We signed up for an evening class at Fiberwood in Wauwautosa, </span></div>

The yarns swelled and a texture was produced by the differences of the warp and weft threads after I hand washed it. Soft and wonderful on the Wausaukee table.</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">I learned so much in this 6 week class. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">The under the loom treadle attachment to the levers forming the tie up of my home loom are connected with carriage bolts and wing nuts. The wing nuts loosen with the movement of the treadles and eventually fall off the bolt. This caused problems with the tension and required me to constantly be under the loom re attaching the wing nuts to one of the 6 treadles. Locking nuts were the solution shared by our instructor Barb. So off to Ace hardware I went. </span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It is easier (not easy) to connect the treadles for tie up when the loom does not have warp on it because it can be partially dismantled. Even then it takes some effort. The locking wing nuts chosen to replace the ones that rattled loose needed pliers on the wing and a ratchet wrench on the hex of the carriage bolt. All while on my elbows and knees under a fully warped loom Handsome distance runner and son of same put the 4 corners of the loom up on plastic milk crates. Still not easy, but do able. And, effective.</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I am on the 2nd rag rug since the class and not one wing nut has loosened. Because of the knowledge gained in the class I was able to weave the pattern on the first rug with the pattern used in class. Then, I chose another overshot pattern with the same tie up for the 2nd rag rug. </span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">There is enough material for the 2nd rug. There is enough warp for a 3rd and 4th rag rug. I think I will use the 10 yard piece of dark brown knit for the others. I've noticed darker colors make the warp colors pop</span><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">.</span></div>

I will call it physical therapy that is not contingent on weather, car problems, gym locker space or people driving by me while I'm walking with a need to shout stupidities out their windows. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I have to stand to weave on this loom. The tabby is set up so alternating my feet with each throw of the shuttle is required for this overshot pattern. I have to reach to throw the shuttle. This adds my shoulders and arms into the mix. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">At present I am able to weave 1 repeat of the pattern per weaving session. I believe that is around 40 throws of the shuttles. 20 from each side. Not a lot of weaving, but rag rugs work up quickly.</span><br />

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap=""><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Between life getting in the way and changes to Blogger, photos I wanted to share were put in limbo to be rediscovered when I started taking photos of this year's currant crop. </span></pre>
<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap=""><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">

</span></pre>
<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap=""><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">There was a newspaper article in the Marinette Herald about the river launching of this LCS (?) class ship. I've wanted to see a launch from the Marinette ship yards since we bought the retirement house. I just happened to be in Wausaukee that weekend. The mid December weather was dry and almost autumn like. It was a beautiful day for the 35 mile drive. Here was my opportunity. </span></pre>
<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap=""><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">
</span></pre>
<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap=""><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I drove to Marinette to witness and take some photos with my cell phone. The link was sent by my cousin Wayne. It is a Green Bay TV news article along with a nice link to the drone videos and professional photos (which I cannot figure out how to add to my blog). </span></pre>
<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap=""><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">
</span></pre>
<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap=""><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">There was viewing available from the ship yard, if you knew someone who worked there. (a tidbit shared with me by a woman behind me in church the next day). There was public viewing in a park across the Menomonee river. I was not up to the hike so settled for a location in the parking lot of Jack's grocery, enjoying the comfort of my car. </span></pre>
<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap=""><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">
</span></pre>
<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap=""><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Of note is the black truck in the foreground of my photo. Shortly before the launch he put a drone in the air. Amazing how quickly it disappeared into the sky. Basis the credits of the link, I believe he was either an employee of the US Navy or Lockheed Martin. Either way. Whoever put the video together kept my attention.</span></pre>
<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap=""><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">
</span></pre>
<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap=""><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The Menomonee River was ice covered near our house. The launch is located near the mouth of the river into Lake Michigan. There was just a skim of ice floating on the river. I do love transition times of the year.</span></pre>
<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap=""><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">
</span></pre>
<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap=""><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The other thing of note is the Marinette shipyard is one of very few that side launch into a river. The launch was very quick. Slide. Splash. Wobble once and slightly twice. Then the ship was upright as if it had been in the water forever.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This morning I took a few photos of the pink champaigne and red lake currant patches.

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b> <span style="font-size: large;">Now on to the Wausaukee garden</span> </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b> May 11 - 14:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">While Phil planted black raspberry canes from the West Allis yard, I re-tagged the currant bushes for variety.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Keeping the 12 + varieties of currants in order has become a challenge. Tags made from strips cut from yogurt containers and marked with a sharpie faded and disintegrated in a year. Next I stamped canning jar lids. Those are rusting and the tie wraps used to attach are disintegrating.. Sean of Edible Acres cuts up old soda cans and writes on them with a dried up ball point pen over card board. This embosses the thin aluminum and does not rust. I used nylon cord to attach to the plants.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">After the loss of the entire Wausaukee currant crop last year Phil and I have been intentional about how to keep the woodland plants happy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Soil tests were taken and the results are a little low in nitrogen. All else is fine.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We have decided to focus on the moisture in this sand pit the berries are planted in. Last Summer we top dressed with wood chips and very old cow manure.. The plan is to continue top dressing with wood chips as handsome distance runner works his way through the Aspen cutting and underbrush of the groves on this property.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The other thing neglected last year was keeping an eye on the weather. I now check the weather report for this house daily. If need be a trip will be made to water from the well until the berries are picked. Here I am discussing berries when last weekend the leaves were just breaking through.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>June 26, 2019:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This is not the way I thought the season would go back in May. No photos were taken this last trip north. There is a mystery to be solved. On 89 currant bushes there might be a total of 4 quarts of berries. Half black currants. No pink currants. Look at the blossoms on the bush taken a month ago. The blossoms should have produced a quart just from that photo. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It is not the soil.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It is not the moisture.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Could it be some insect? I am considering Fullers rose beetle / rose chafer. Not sure what the bug is. This dirt colored bug covered the plants last summer. They are back on the bushes this last trip. I thumped them off when I saw them. Could they be depositing next year's eggs into the swell on the stem that will become next season's stringers? Could the life cycle of this bug be the cause of the fruit drop?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">When we put the bird netting over the bushes the week before father's day I was surprised by berries dropping when brushed. NEVER, EVER saw that before. They were not dried up or discolored. Were the tiny juvenile bugs eating at the connection of the berry to the stem, and later the stem? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I need to find an expert. But it seems I am quickly becoming the expert. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The photo above is from 2018, but shows what a rose chafer looks like in the currant patch. Could this beetle be the cause of fruit drop?? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Since posting yesterday I've tripped over a YouTube channel by Stefan Sobkowiak. He has developed a trio permaculture system. It is worth trying in the orchard. Nitrogen fixing. Apple. Pear or Plum. Repeat. The shrub story is rhubarb, Black currants, Red currants, Gooseberry. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">His premise is to grow a variety of food plants vertically, with the goal of abundance through diversity.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I've got the plants already. Just not near each other. Maybe planting the hardwood root cuttings under the orchard trees. maybe splitting the rhubarb plants. Maybe putting a shovel of the overgrown perennial garden from West Allis under each tree. Then standing back to watch what takes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Phil has been promoting putting some trees in the middle of the fenced in currant patch. Is he two steps ahead of me? I hope not, because he is binge-ing on shark fishing now.</span><br />

It was the one he was looking at since the aspens were cut down last fall. When the mail order company put it on sale he ordered it. Happy Birthday, Mother's day, Father's day, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year 2019!!! </div>
Phil took down the overgrown honeysuckle hedge in West Allis. That will produce a nice thick hedge in 19 months when we sell the West Allis house and practice material for the new chipper. The photo is both husband and son testing the limitations of the tool. This April 17 test drive provided chips for the West Allis garden.<br />
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br />
The chipper had to be drop shipped to a truck depot. Depots do not want your stuff clogging their docks. There was a finite amount of time to pick up the new tool. </div>

The trailer was snowed in, in the Wausaukee garage for the winter. The snow blower was in the West Allis garage. Just the right size to fit on the trailer. Too big for the SUV. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My tough distance runner hand shoveled the snow on March 17, 2019 to bring the trailer back. I want to say the snow had too much freeze thaw in it's history to move it with the snow scoop. The tool used was a shovel. I am going to guess and say it is the plastic one in the Wausaukee garage that now has a horizontal crack in it was his tool of choice.<br />
<br />
Yes the distance is about 2 city blocks long.</div>

March 30, 2019. My first trip back to Wausaukee since I dropped off the SMILE milk cans in January. There is still snow on the ground in Wausaukee, but the driveway was clear enough for my car.<br />

We are setting up a retirement home in the back woods of Wisconsin. There is baseboard heating, a propane furnace and an insert in the fireplace that will heat the house.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
My handsome distance runner checked the fuel tank on the other side of the house the first weekend of February. He determined more was needed and I contacted Hot Flame for a delivery. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
In the next two weeks of freeze - thaw - snow- wind - drifting and deep freeze the truck was not able to drive up the steep driveway because it was too icy. They called me on a Thursday explaining why my fuel tank could go dry, causing all kinds of other problems. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The original plan was to have a girl friend's weekend away from everything. Instead...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
A few phone calls on Thursday, and the situation was understood. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
1- Marinette County has a free-to-all sand pile that was gone. There was a need beyond anticipated (because of the thaw, freeze, snow) for the sand and it had been used up. More was anticipated the following week.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
2- Once the sand was available, Bob would re-plow the driveway to remove the drifts and spread sand. I'll repeat, the sand was to be delivered in 5 - 7 days... if they could get through the next snow storm.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
3- Then his wife (Phyllis) would call the fuel company to let them know the driveway was passable and they could make the delivery.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
4- Ever hopeful the girls weekend was not shot, I called my cousin Barb. She lives in the next town to the north. I asked her if it was possible to get my car safely up and down the driveway. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
What happened was.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
1- Barb called her friend Phyllis to check out what could be done.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
2- Bob went to the county yard to scrape the last grains of sand available and plowed the driveway, leaving the sand behind.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
3- Phyllis called Hot Flame.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
4- Barb called me to let me know the driveway was plowed and sanded.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
5- I called Hot Flame and was told the delivery was to be added to the list.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
6- It must have been a short list, or the dispatcher is another friend of my cousin Barb. The truck got up the driveway and the delivery person dragged the hose to the tank on the other side of the ranch style house. (The path had drifted over to a point of 2 foot deep since handsome distance runner shoveled it on February 3.) Fuel was delivered. The tank did not go dry. All is right with our world. And the villagers rejoiced!! This is because a whole list of remarkable people went the extra mile.</div>

Handsome distance runner decided to investigate the house and would make the 3 hour drive after work on Friday. The photos below are how he found the property. How he left it was with the path to the fuel tank re-shoveled, and both the garage and house roofs shoveled. Yes, that is a 5 foot snow bank between the driveway and the garage.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Think this through...soon to retire man, alone, up on a roof with a shovel in a situation that could have him sliding off and landing in a drift with no one around to see or know until the thaw in April. Of course, that excited him even more. </div>

The most high traffic area of the house is the dining room looking out the patio doors at the live entertainment provided by the local wild life. To provide that protection I decided on a painted canvas floor cloth.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-eT4fNiRwXQg/Wxd3Jgoo7xI/AAAAAAAAC0M/3XOrF-qh4i4lx8llprGb4_7-2lK39W0SgCLcBGAs/s1600/060318%2Bfloor%2Bcanvas%2B-%2B2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="847" data-original-width="632" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-eT4fNiRwXQg/Wxd3Jgoo7xI/AAAAAAAAC0M/3XOrF-qh4i4lx8llprGb4_7-2lK39W0SgCLcBGAs/s320/060318%2Bfloor%2Bcanvas%2B-%2B2.jpg" width="238" /></a>I purchased the canvas from Wholesale Arts and Frames 6839 Lankershim Blvd. North Hollywood, CA 91602 818 255-1400. info@wholesaleartsframes.com It is a presized cotton canvas normally used for stage screens. I needed the 96" width to cover the space needed to protect the floor from scraping chairs. Sail canvas only came 60" wide. There was 6 yards on the roll in the photograph. It looks like I may have an opportunity to do more than one floor cloth. I will let you know latter if there will be one floor cloth for each season.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The width and length of the floor cloth was eyeballed and the roll was used as a straight edge to pencil mark the cut. </div>

All the online instructions said to turn over the edge one time and top stitch. This was not fun because the prefinish and weight of the canvas made it stiff. The pressure foot was not able to keep the fabric under control. I had to ssssllloooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwllllllyyyyyyyyy sew, supporting the fabric to keep it from sliding out from under the pressure foot.<br />

Two coats of the base paint left over from the walls of the dining room were applied to the canvas. I used package tape to attach a 2" paint brush to a broom stick. It was braced by two wooded spoons from my kitchen. Low tech is a good thing. A cheap plastic paint cloth kept the canvas from picking up dirt from the concrete patio. The mint green is leftover paint from the walls of the dining room and kitchen. There were a couple hours of drying time between coats.</div>

After the canvas was dry I loosely rolled the canvas, covering the beginning edge of the roll with the plastic to make sure the paint would not end up sticking to itself. I brought the loose roll into the house anticipating overnight rain.</div>

<b>June 4, 2018:</b> The plan is to put an 8" border around the floor cloth of currants on stems with leaves. The border was described on the canvas in pencil. It will be covered later with a 3/4" wide lattice. For the background of the border I rag painted golden rod over the green to soften the background. It was a windy day so heavy books were used to hold down the canvas while it dried.<br />

<br />
I left the canvas outdoors until it was dry to the touch. Then I moved it indoors to continue drying flat, undisturbed because we were returning to the other house and did not need to use the floor space. Now I have to check the basement of the other house for leftover paint from other projects to use to paint the currants and leaves.<br />

You may be wondering why the canvas is being painted outside on the patio instead of in the basement or garage. There are actually four reasons. 1- the basement does not have the wonderful ventilation of the outdoors. 2- The patio door is a lot easier to navigate than the 12 steps with two sharp turns into the basement. 3- The garage is almost a football field away from the house, down a gravel and sand drive way. Transporting the canvas un-damaged that distance would be tricky. 4 - There are all kinds of woodland creatures that like to visit the garage. This last week is was a skink. (not a skunk, although there are some around) Mice, chipmunks, snakes and insects I do not recognize all like to visit the garage. I don't want to chance one of them chewing or what ever on my floor cloth causing damage.</div>

<b>June 16, 2018:</b> Last week I stayed in SE Wisconsin while my husband and son did projects on the retirement house. Almost 2 weeks of drying time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The small table was moved out of the way and the telescoping dinner table was pulled out and covered with new plastic tarp for the next steps of this project. All 7 leaves were needed.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have a collection of photos taken of the currants from blossom to berry from past years. They were printed up and spread on the floor cloth for reference.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The paint is artist's acrylic in tubes, purchased for the project. I did check in the basement for paints from other projects and decided not to go that direction. There were too many bases in enamel and oil. Many were dried out. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4 colors were used: White, red, brown and green. The brushes came in a pack with chisel point and fine points. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The lack of friction of the plastic tarp and the weight of the canvas required weights be used to keep the painting in place. Note the hammer and bread board. Polystyrene compartmentalized trays left over from some event years ago were used as my pallet. An empty spice jar was used to hold water.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The lines of the border were painted using a blending of the brown and green. The lines are not precise. I've never been accused of coloring between the lines. </div>

Above is a photo commemorating the good bye to a beloved couple from our church on their last day before their move to be near family members during this new stage of their lives.<br />
<br />
The group are people from a Bible study group. Some from years ago. Some from now. Some were always there.<br />
<br />
You may be wondering why any adult would attend Bible study on Sundays. It is simple. It gives me the boost to be a more compassionate and open person the other 6 days of the week.<br />
<br />
Today I was running some mid-day errands. There was an impatient person behind me while I waited for on coming traffic to pass. When there was room to safely turn onto the highway I did and the other driver followed. What surprised me was the road rage brought to the situation in the form of swinging his (her?) full sized SUV well into my lane as he passed, and then quickly pulling into other traffic to avoid identification. It was over before I knew it... and surprisingly....... the anger that used to be a part of my day lasted less than a second. Instead I am sad that someone is so tightly wound that waiting to turn onto the highway would cause such a reaction. I said a prayer that the other driver was now aware of the over reaction and was able to calm down. I am still saddened by such an immature reaction.<br />
<br />
When I got to where I was going, another vehicle was moving the wrong way down the parking aisle I had just turned into. Space was made to pass each other, along with a smile and a wave.<br />
<br />
The smiling faces of the photo are the reason the situations did not escalate. By the grace of God and their kindness, I was able to show love today. Our days are made better because the child of God in each of us is recognized. This is what Bible study keeps in my heart. <br />

<b>Plarn Yarn Mat for the Homeless</b></h2>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My sister mentioned investigating knitting instructions using cut up plastic shopping bags to make a mat as a project. The plastic bags would not go directly to a land fill and the homeless would not be sleeping directly on a floor in a shelter, or ground outside.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
At first glance it seemed like a wonderful project to investigate and participate in so I began looking on line to see what others have been doing. There are many, many postings on line with instructions to crochet and frame loom these mats. I found none for knitting. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Below is the result of weaving a plarn mat on a floor loom. The first photo is the daisy chained plarn in the basket with the mat in progress on the loom in the background. The second photo is the finished mat.</div>

<br />
Around thanksgiving I began taking control of the plastic Pick & Save bags brought into my home and stuffed into the 'bag of bags' in my pantry. All the beige and half the white plarn in the finished mat came from Pick & Save bags. The balance of the plarn was made from Piggly Wiggly and Woodman's bags.<br />
<br />

<br />
As great minds would have it, the craft group at church decided (independent of my project) to collect shopping bags to be made into mats and donated. One of the local shelters would take whatever they gave.<br />
<br />
Inspiration to execution showed the flaws in the project I did not see mentioned in the you-tube instruction videos. <br />
<br />
The plarn compressed. It flattening out to paper thin when weight was applied. Not much protection from the cold ground. A thick mat was needed. The plarn was cut wider. The mat got thicker. The mat got heavier. The mat got harder to pull the crochet hook through. The mat required more material than I had access to.<br />
<br />
I was in the planning stages of my next set of woven rugs for the weekend house so I factored in extra warp. The crocheted project was pulled apart and I commandeered the church collection of plastic bags to have sufficient material to complete the mat. <br />
<br />
The plarn daisy chain was ~ 3" wide. 4 daisy chains of plarn were bundled together to get a thick mat. <br />
<br />
This extra thick plarn distorted the warp on the ends. I was not able to get nice straight edges.<br />
<br />
The final factor that convinced me to never, ever work with plarn again was the allergic reaction I had in the form of dermatitis. Now, I <i>am</i> hypersensitive to allergens much like the canary in the mine shaft. I wove wearing a lab jacket to add a layer of protection. The HEPA air cleaner had to be on. I showered and changed clothes after I worked with the plarn.<br />
<br />
My final perspective on this project comes from living through the transition from paper grocery sacks to plastic. We were sold a bill of goods. The argument in the late 60's - early 70's was focused on the non sustainable forests being flattened for paper bags. Yes, the same non-sustainable forests that to date provide paper goods from diapers to printer paper to Amazon boxes. We were told plastic was a much better product and the transition was made. <br />
<br />
There is a place for the sterility of plastic. Plastic bags do not have a valid purpose double bagging 2 liter bottles of soda. <br />
<br />
Here comes the old mantra that I still believe: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. My household is going to continue to focus on Reduce and Reuse. Recycle needs to be investigated more fully. Are the plastic bags put in the recycling containers actually being recycled? <br />
<br />
If you still want to provide more comfortable sleeping for the homeless, used yoga mats can be had at local resale shops for ~ $5 each. They are lightweight and provide protection from the ground.<br />
<br />
My time is better spent in other ways for mission work.PiasiniTimeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08899815223478683241noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8207242683218818749.post-51882929128923428302018-02-13T07:53:00.001-08:002018-02-13T07:53:17.622-08:00Repurposed Yarn into Rag Rugs<div dir="ltr">
My Methodist/German upbringing will not allow me to throw away anything </div>
<div dir="ltr">
that could possible be used at least one more time. This is what lead </div>
<div dir="ltr">
to me being up in the middle of the night chaining 12 strands of used </div>
<div dir="ltr">
yarn into one strand.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
The weekend house we bought on 'pill hill' in Crystal Falls, MI came </div>
<div dir="ltr">
with hand crocheted window valances in the 3 bedrooms. They were nice </div>
<div dir="ltr">
with Packer green trim on one, variegated pink and blue trim on another and fushia trim on the third. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
Most of the yarn was an off white. I had other plans for the windows.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-OlLypd31J7k/WoL7HTHea8I/AAAAAAAACxE/Q9uRqQpDgmUuKlo_N0nCgvvgBVeIpwniQCLcBGAs/s1600/014_Bedroom_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="826" data-original-width="1362" height="194" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-OlLypd31J7k/WoL7HTHea8I/AAAAAAAACxE/Q9uRqQpDgmUuKlo_N0nCgvvgBVeIpwniQCLcBGAs/s320/014_Bedroom_2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
A normal person would have washed up the valances and dropped them off </div>
<div dir="ltr">
at the St. Vinnie's on the hill. Instead, I decided the valances could </div>
<div dir="ltr">
be deconstructed and the off white 4-ply yarn knit into a blanket to </div>
<div dir="ltr">
replace the sleeping bags we were using.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
As the deconstruction progressed it became apparent the yarn was a tiny </div>
<div dir="ltr">
bit sun rotted in a few places. That took the plans for a blanket from </div>
<div dir="ltr">
one 4-ply yarn to two 4-ply yarns. I should mention that I began </div>
<div dir="ltr">
wondering if the yarn from the window valances was going to be enough </div>
<div dir="ltr">
for a blanket, so I began buying odds and ends of 4-ply yarn at the 2nd </div>
<div dir="ltr">
hand stores in white and off white, just to add interest.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
The next change of plan happened when the blanket in progress weighed 5 </div>
<div dir="ltr">
pounds at 12" of knitting. And... I had just acquired a 4 harness </div>
<div dir="ltr">
floor loom with a 45", 15 dent reed (15 yarns per inch). I would weave </div>
<div dir="ltr">
a blanket instead.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
It took about half a year to set up the loom, make sure all the parts </div>
<div dir="ltr">
were complete, there was a fresh coat of Danish rubbing oil on all the </div>
<div dir="ltr">
wood and to warp up (thread) the loom. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
There was more play in the 4-ply knitting </div>
<div dir="ltr">
yarn than the pearl cotton I was used to, but I was able to </div>
<div dir="ltr">
get an even tension on the warp with a bit of attention to detail. It </div>
<div dir="ltr">
was time to weave. There were laundry baskets full of repurposed 4-ply </div>
<div dir="ltr">
yarn balls waiting to be woven.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
This was sooooo exciting because I had dreamed of weaving on my own </div>
<div dir="ltr">
floor loom for decades. I stepped on the treadle, shot the beginning </div>
<div dir="ltr">
scrap fabric through the shed, changed treadles to set the row before </div>
<div dir="ltr">
pulling back on the beater bar. Those of you who have woven know what </div>
<div dir="ltr">
happened next. Nothing. The 4-ply yarn went through the reeds, </div>
<div dir="ltr">
singly. The tension on the 150 4-ply yarns lined up did not allow the </div>
<div dir="ltr">
beater bar to budge.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
A 10 dent reed was procured, the warp transfered one yarn at a time and I was able to weave ~ 12" of blanket before we sold the weekend house in Crystal Falls and bought the future retirement home in Wausaukee.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-VYVplbLCcRA/WoL9FTdDUpI/AAAAAAAACxk/JvvID34G0YIZ9jfP8LkNYO7YDDrmV7dTQCLcBGAs/s1600/003Loom.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-VYVplbLCcRA/WoL9FTdDUpI/AAAAAAAACxk/JvvID34G0YIZ9jfP8LkNYO7YDDrmV7dTQCLcBGAs/s320/003Loom.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
The loom was dismantled with the warp removed from the back beam and </div>
<div dir="ltr">
carefully wrapped around a cardboard tube. All was brought back to West </div>
<div dir="ltr">
Allis to keep it from rusting in storage. And it sat for a year in a </div>
<div dir="ltr">
spare bedroom until the hardwood floors were nearing completion in </div>
<div dir="ltr">
Wausaukee. Brand new hickory hardwood floors that would need some kind </div>
<div dir="ltr">
of protection in high traffic areas and warmness in the Winter. I would </div>
<div dir="ltr">
go pioneer and weave rag rugs for the floors. The blanket would have to </div>
<div dir="ltr">
wait.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
The loom was set up. I bought 60 yards of fabric at the Florence </div>
<div dir="ltr">
Eisemann Sale to use as filler. The first two rugs were woven last </div>
<div dir="ltr">
Summer from 10 yards of fine navy corduroy. There was enough fabric </div>
<div dir="ltr">
left over for a comforter to match.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-92m9HHEl1cg/WoL-jII5pVI/AAAAAAAACxw/Uyp8JkVe0KM-uDAWQDrnV0nNdYoWDXysQCLcBGAs/s1600/currant%2Bpies%2B004.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-92m9HHEl1cg/WoL-jII5pVI/AAAAAAAACxw/Uyp8JkVe0KM-uDAWQDrnV0nNdYoWDXysQCLcBGAs/s320/currant%2Bpies%2B004.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
The loom was warped up for the next set of rugs over Winter shutdown. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
10 yards of cream colored cotton knit were earmarked for the filler. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
But I kept tripping over the yarn for the blanket. By this time it had grown to fill a duffel bay and the bushel basket. The balls for the filler kept falling out of the basket. The duffel bag did not stay put. The cardboard tube with the original weaving kept leaning toward me saying, 'walk on me..'.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
I gave in and took a bundle of yarn and wove a couple of rows. 12 yarns </div>
<div dir="ltr">
produced a nice thick fabric perfect for a bedroom floor. The yarn has </div>
<div dir="ltr">
been re-purposed again. I hope for the last time.</div>
<div dir="ltr">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The yarn was bundled into one long chain and loosely draped into and eventually over the handle of a bushel basket. When one yarn ended another was added until all the yarns were ready to weave.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The final tally is 6 rugs 27" wide. Five are 66 inches long and woven from the repurposed valance yarn project . The final rug used up the remaining warp and some leftover navy corduroy from the earlier rugs. That is just large enough to fit under a chair. All the rugs will fit into the home washing machine, one at a time. </div>

The weavings were removed from the loom and taken to the Wausaukee home to finish the ends and put into use. The unrolled visual on the snowbank is what the weaving looks like before finishing. And the very last photo is the rugs in place.</div>

Yes.. the colors are odd and I am not completely comfortable with them. I pulled the colors on the comforter from a fabric I fell in love with. That led to the colors on the warp. What scares me is if I add any more purple tones to the room it will not only whisper but scream 'old lady'.</div>

<br />
<br />
Results of my 3 cakes judged at State Fair, Saturday are below. I
was able to include currants into each recipe. Cooking with
currants is going mainstream, with me leading the charge!!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Butter cake:</b> </span> disqualified-- The judge wanted a butter cake
without added ingredients. Currants between layers would have
been fine. Currants in the cake were disqualified. The cake was
described as 'delightful'. The staff tried their best to find
another category to judge it.
AND they mentioned it had 'currants' in it. Below is the recipe baked.<br />
<br />
<b>Citrusy Currant Nut Cake</b><br />
<br />
Mix until light and fluffy in a large mixing bowl:<br />
1 1/2 C sugar<br />
1 C butter<br />
4 Eggs<br />
<br />
Add these ingredients and mix well:<br />
3 C unbleached flour<br />
1/2 C whole milk<br />
2 t baking powder<br />
1/2 t baking soda<br />
1/2 t salt<br />
<br />
Gently stir into the batter:<br />
2 C red currants<br />
1 C toasted chopped pecans<br />
<br />
Spoon into a prepared 10 C Bundt pan.<br />
Bake in a preheated 325°F oven - 45 -> 50 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the<br />
cake will come out with clean when the cake is done. (It will take longer to bake if<br />
you are using frozen currants.)<br />
Let rest 10 minutes in the pan. Remove from the pan onto a cooling rack. Ice when<br />
cool.<br />
<br />
<b>Icing</b><br />
2 C sifted XXX sugar<br />
1 T room temp butter<br />
2 -> 4 T orange juice<br />
<br />
Add the juice gradually. The icing should reach a consistency that will spread and<br />
drip down the cake, but not puddle on the cake plate. At this point mix until all the<br />
lumps are smoothed out.<br />
<br />
1 -> 2 t orange peel<br />
<br />
Mix in orange peel. Ice the cake.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Peach cake:</span></b> Blue ribbon<br />
<br />
This exact recipe is now the property of Wisconsin State Fair.<br />
<br />
It can be easily replicated with the instructions below.<br />
<br />
Spread 1/2 C peach jam on the bottom of a prepared 10 C bundt cake pan<br />
<br />
Sprinkle over the peach jam:<br />
1/4 C red currants<br />
1/4 C toasted slivered almonds<br />
<br />
Arrange over the other ingredients:<br />
1 sliced peach<br />
<br />
Pour your favorite butter cake into the bundt pan and bake until done.<br />
<br />
Now comes technique: <br />
- Let the cake rest upright for 20 minutes. If this is not done, the weight of the topping will collapse the cake.<br />
- Loosen the sides of the cake.<br />
- Invert onto a serving plate and leave keep the pan over the cake another 2 hours. This allows time for the topping to drop onto the cake. The alternative is eating the topping out of the bottom of the pan. <br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
<b>Spice cake:</b></span> Many entries. 4 better. <br />
<br />
Long story: I could not get the honey-spice
cake I baked on Friday to release from the honeycomb pan. <br />
<br />
For the remake, I used a 1/2 recipe in a traditional
9" layer cake. It was not the show stopper the honeycomb mold
would have made and no doubt kept the cake from placing higher.
I saw the blue ribbon winner. My cake would <u>not</u> have
been the blue ribbon this year.<br />

3 cakes entered. 1 blue ribbon. 1 disqualified. This was a
respectable showing against people who compete every year.
<br />
<br />
A woman I sold currants to this year was there. She told me her
currant jelly entry took 1st place at the Wednesday judging!!!
<br />
<br />
Best of show for cakes was a chocolate, strawberry mousse cake.
There is something wonderful about mousse between the layers of
cake.
<br />
<br />
<br />
There was shuttle service when I dropped off the entries.
Shuttle service was not available when I returned later for
judging. It was a slow, difficult walk on a beautiful Summer day
to my car when I left. <br />
<br />
After a few phone calls I discovered there will be shuttles for drop off on Friday, but none after that. I will drop off my 4 entries and leave the claim tickets with a friend should not all those entries place. <br />
<br />
<br />
Below are 3 of the recipes for Friday entries. I'm still working out the details of the 4th recipe.<br />
<br />
<b>Melba Ice Cream:</b><br />
<br />
Mix together:<br />
1 C cold currant jelly whipped to break up<br />
4 C cold whipping cream<br />
<br />
Process in Ice Cream maker.<br />
<br />
Fold gently into the soft ice cream:<br />
1 C frozen red raspberries<br />
1 C diced fresh peach<br />
<br />
Package and freeze.<br />
<br />
Don't be fooled by the simplicity of the recipe. My son and toughest critic said it tasted like Summer. <br />
Currants bring a support background to the raspberry. Much like a cello does in music. Without it, there will still be melody, but it won't be as full and satisfying.<br />
<br />
The next recipe is pure fiction. And... reading it makes me drool.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The city girl in me is familiar with squirrels, rabbits and dogs on leashes. Wausaukee does not have dogs on leashes. It does have wild reptiles and amphibians wandering through the yard this Spring. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I was in the currant patch weeding when handsome distance runner yelled from the top of the hill to come and see. Yes, my mellow, nothing excites him Yooper was jumping up and down like a 3 year old in a candy store.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">He ran to the house to get the camera and I started to slowly walk up the hill to the garage and the area he was pointing to. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">There was a turtle traipsing across the yard. Turtles have a reputation for being slow. This guy had not heard about that reputation. He was quite speedy. It seems this is breeding season and he had plans to find a female, or more.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The turtle does not look all that big <i>until</i> compared to a 2 liter soda bottle. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #073763; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I changed out the 'posies' on the graves in Larry's home town two weekends ago. Many were veterans who came back and made the world a better place. The rest were the wives and parents, grandchildren, great grandchildren and on through the generations of those soldiers. All are related though family and friendship in a small town. When I was done there were 5 bunches of posies left over of the 23 brought. Larry is leaving Thursday for the weekend. Before I arrive, he will find the graves I missed. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #073763; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large; text-align: center;">This year I went big and bought the $3 bunches in a cream colored gardenia. They really showed nicely through out the small town cemetery. There were some graves a few generations old where I was not the only person putting on fresh posies. The gardenias blended in with the other stems of silk flowers as if planned. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #073763; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This is something Larry's mom used to do with Aunt Mary. When she died, Larry would take Aunt Mary to change out the silk flowers on the graves. Aunt Mary added the tradition of adding spare posies to a grave where no posies were, because every grave needed flowers. Now that Aunt Mary is gone, the next generation has taken over this tradition. Aunt Kathy and our household and Cassie take off the old silk flowers and put out the fresh ones so they will be all fresh for Memorial Day. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #073763; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">In 2014, just before the fall freeze Aunt Mary accompanied me to the cemetery when I planted yellow iris bulbs next to the head stone of Larry's parents. This year they may be in bloom for Memorial Day. Live flowers on Memorial day are a treat where the frost line may not go away until June. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #073763; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Monday morning we will gather to hear the high school band march onto the cemetery grounds and play patriotic music, listen to memorial speeches by local officials and smile when the aging soprano of the community choir doesn't quite find the note she once knew so well in the national anthem. Before and after we will see friends and family and catch up on the year, noting how much has changed and how little has changed since the last time we saw each other. </span></div>
