Spam

I've been deluged with spam lately. I've turned word verification on, but some of the offenders are still getting through. Same message posted as comments to random old blog posts, multiple times a day. I've notified Blogger about the problem, even named the offenders, but so far no reply from Blogger. 

I love legitimate comments. I'm so sorry to have to use word verification; I know no one likes it. I can tell it's cut down on real comments from actual readers. I hope you'll bear with me until the spam problem goes away and I can turn word verification off. I really love to hear from you. 

In much happier news, I'm progressing with paper pieced arcs for my Pickle Dish project. There are four arcs in each clipped batch, and 16 arcs in the banded batch. I have 8 more of yellow #2, 8 more of aqua #2, and 16 green ones to go. Still searching for the right green fabrics. 

I might replace the darkest coral ones (at top) with a lighter coral shade. I only need four of them, so it won't be a problem to remake them.

    What a bummer to have to deal with the spam comment situation, Jan. The paper pieced arcs look great. I hope you find just the right green fabrics for the project. :)

    Alternative is comment moderation - no verification needed.

    There’s an option to moderate comments on posts over so many days old. Completely stopped the spam

    Spam is annoying for sure. Your Pickle Dish is coming along nicely. Your fabrics look great with the background piece.

    When I saw your post was called "Spam," I thought, "Oh, I'm not familiar with that block! I wonder if it's related to the pickle dishes?" So now I'm wondering what a spam block would look like. A rectangle with snowballed corners? :)

    Same story here. Even with moderation on, I have to take the time to delete several every day. More time eaten up, and I'm agitated, too. Here's to hoping it's just temporary.

    On a nicer note, your blocks are gorgeous!
