Good afternoon , ya'll. Yep 2 posts in a day, I would have done it all in one post, but it would have been waaaaay too loooooong. 🙄
If you missed this morning's post, click here to see my vintage Dresden Plate quilt and my tiered tray.
So let me start off by Boo Hooing 😢😠and telling you that I have been feeling a bit blue lately. Why you ask? Well , here we go again! Tech Issues!
Google Docs is giving me a fit, and I am not able to upload my freebie charts as jpgs. Uggggh! 😠😩😠What to do?!?!
First off, I am not very techy, and I have to scan my charts and upload them from the USB. When I try to upload them, I get the message "this file type is not supported". All was ok until a week ago. I think Google has updated, and I have am just too tech dumb to figure what is going on. To say the least I am almost in tears. Do you have any suggestions or ideas?
I have been stitching up a storm though.
In fact, I have been working feverishly to squeeze in my Sunflower Jar for Sunflower September stitching.
Eeh! Let's do the wave!!! I completed it. Just a jar filled with sunshine. It certainly makes me smile.
This little jar stitched up quickly and there are only 7 floss colors in it. DMC 937, 898, 3345, 3347, 782, 3371 and 413.
So what I am going to try to do, is post the image of the chart on my blog . I do not know if you will be able to print it or not. This is an experiment until I can find a solution if there is one. Let me know how it comes out on your end if you do try to print it.

| Lookie at my little bears gifted to me from, sweet Joan. Aren't they the cutest? Thank you , Joan. Oh how I love these guys. |
If you are interested in stitching the Sunflower Jar, please check out the images below.
Many of you know , but I always like to leave this little disclaimer.
I stitch my little designs for fun and to decorate my home. I feel very blessed by this community and love sharing my little charts, but I am not a professional designer. And I do not have professional software. Thank you for understanding that I have to put each page on separate links because of the devices I use. I apologize for that. These are images of the chart or JPG s and not downloads. I am always grateful for your kind encouragement , your visits, and for stitching my little designs.
If you are having trouble with the above images and they can not be saved and printed, try right clicking these images . Lol I am trying to figure this out. Thanks again for understanding.
Not sure why blogger has a large gap between the text.

I absolutely love the Sunflower Jar, thank you so much for your patterns, love them all!!! I loved your camping retreat, but would have been a little jumpy with the slithery sighting!! Have a wonderful day and I hope that you find a work around, I know others have been having some issues with Goggle Doc and with Goggle in general. Sending you much love and many hugs from sunny Arizona. I have sunflowers sprouting from the parent plants in the garden, so happy!
ReplyDeleteGood evening, dear Mary. I hope all of your appointments have gone well. I am so excited to hear that you was able to get the chart. Lol I was definitely jumpy at the campground especially around our site. Thankfully there were no other sightings. Lol. Hopefully Google Docs will get straightened out soon, good to know its just not me. Have a wonderful weekend and enjoy your garden my dear. Hugs and blessings.
DeleteYour mason jar designs are so adorable, Melisa! This new one with the sunflowers is really tempting me. I'm sorry Google Docs is giving you trouble, and wish I could help, but it sounds like people were successful with what you did do. Thank you for sharing your designs so generously!
