For technological applications, molecular tunnel junctions must be reliable, stable and reproducible. Discrete tunnel junctions, or molecular diodes, have been reported using scanning probes 11, 12, break junctions 13, 14, metallic crossbars 6 and nanopores 8, 15.
If you are looking for a quick quilt, I HIGHLY recommend getting the Spelling Bee book by Lori Holt.Electronic transport through single molecules has been studied extensively by academic 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and industrial 9, 10 research groups. Dirty-faced, playing Mindcraft, snuggled in his quilt…that’s my boy!!
Here he is reading the back and laughing because a heart means love and I spelled “you” wrong by making a “U”. I gave it to Carver as soon as it was finished. It worked perfectly as I could cut long strips. I used the same red pajama bottoms for the binding. What a fun project with instant gratification!! I used the directions to make the heart from the 12″ mitten block and only made the heart. If you look you can see that the mitten has a heart in the center of it. The heart is from her Vintage Christmas book. The quilt book has bed-sized and baby-sized patterns. I used a variegated blue thread on the front and back. I used my hook and point motif for the longarming. I told him I put a tractor on it because I know he wants to be a farmer…and Dad drives a green tractor sometimes. I told him I picked red because it was my favorite color. I told Carver I picked blue because it was his and Papa Moo’s (Kramer’s) favorite color and that he liked plaid. From start to finish, including the machine quilting and binding, it took about seven hours. It was windy when I was trying to get pictures. This was a thrift store fabric with the pajama bottoms providing the long strips of red. I had a backing fabric but need the backing to be bigger…so, I did this. You can see the area that had to be ripped. I would have been done sooner but I have a tension issue and had to rip out a lot. It is made entirely of recycled shirts…and a pair of recycled pajama bottoms. I ended up making the quilt a little bigger than the original and had to cut out more blocks. Making the letters was a little putzy but really easy. I made his name first and then the tractor. His name would be red…the tractor green and all would be recycled shirts. I would use recycled shirts primarily in blues. The beauty of Lori’s books is that the blocks are interchangeable. I decided I would change it up some…I would make the tractor block from Lori Holt’s book Farm Girl Vintage 2. I didn’t want to put a ton of work into it…but I wanted something that reflected Carver so I pulled out Lori Holt’s book Spelling Bee. I decided that I wanted to make the quilt for him that I had wanted to make him last year and with school only three weeks away, I decided to get on it. He likes pink…doesn’t mind princesses and isn’t raised to think pink is a girl color. There was no time to make one so he went in my childcare napping blankets and picked a pink princess quilt. It turns out Carver needed a blanket for nap time. At the last minute, she decided to tell him. It wasn’t mandatory and she wasn’t sure how her can Craig felt about it. Last year because we didn’t know how Covid was, Kalissa didn’t know if she was going to send Carver. Where we live kids can go to three-year-old preschool…then four-year-old preschool…then kindergarten. I teased you on Monday and told you a little about the quilt I was working on for Carver.
