Grow Your Blog Party


Welcome to the Grow Your Blog Party that is being hosted by Vicki of 2 Bags Full!





Welcome to my blog about how many quilts I've started!!! I sure wish it could be about the ones I've finished!  But then, it's be pretty boring and pretty blank!!!! LOL  

I say this every year, I PLAN to finish them all. Planning is easy, executing is difficult. 

I really do start way too many quilts, but I had a health scare in 2013, so I'm determined not to leave this mess for my loved ones to clean up and PLAN to finish them all in 2014 (that's a laugh). The tabs at the time share all my started quilts. 

Since the demise of Google Reader, I've found a few places that you can "add" me to your list of blogs you visit, they are listed on my right sidebar!  I'd love for you to visit often. 

Time to visit Vicki's blog and "grow" more blogs!!!

p.s. Last year, my giveaway was never claimed...didn't do one this year.

  1. Hi Gloria, welcome to the Party! I am one of Vicki's Grow Your Blog Party volunteers. I had to laugh at your comment about FINISHING quilts... I have been given about half a dozen of my mom's unfinished beautiful works as she can't work on them anymore. Now all I need to do is learn to quilt! ;) Thank you for joining in on the fun; I am sure you will be growing in readership and Followers (I am your latest!). Your work is beautiful!

  4. LOL - I often wish the Muse who visits with project ideas would travel with her sister Muse of finishing them up. ;-)

  13. I'm visiting because of the Grow You Blog party. Nice to meet you.
    I too had a lot of quilt tops done, but not so many finishes. Last year I bought a sit-down long arm, and suddenly, it's exciting again to finish! I love it.

    1. Hi, thanks for visiting my blog. Tried to visit you, but didn't see the post about the Blog Hop. I wanted to be sure that everyone could sign up whichever reader they are using. LOL I have an HQ16, but I'm doing a very custom quilt that I'm not really skilled enough to do, hence, lack of any accomplishments! LOL

  24. Visiting from GYB. I try not to stress too much about finishing every project. When I get bored with one I pick up another until I am ready to go back and finish the first one. Keeps me hopping anyway. Have fun! You have a lovely blog. I am having a giveaway on mine if you would like to enter. http://sewandsowfarm.blogspot.com

  25. Your blog is so pretty. I really like the sidebars with the patches. I am visiting from the GYB party hosted by sweet Vicki and am so very pleased to meet you and to be introduced to yet another great blog. It has been slow going for me, visiting with all those participating, but I do hope to visit all and sign up to follow many of them. I am now a follower of your blog so I can see all the beautiful things you create! I do hope you can find a moment or two to drop by my blog to check things out.

    Have a blessed and beautiful Sunday!

Online Quilt Festival - Spring 2009

What a great idea to host an online Quilt Festival ! Thanks to Amy @ Park City Girl! Be sure to stop by and add your favorite quilt! Well, I really want to join in this huge event, so I'm hoping that an almost completed quilt will qualify! I've chosen my Hungry Caterpillar quilt as my favorite because it is my best to date and who doesn't want to show their best? Of course, I have a long way to go, but I'm learning with each and every quilt. This quilt's story goes like this...it was a kit! I'm not ready to chose my own fabrics/colors just yet (may never be!). I got the kit and went to work trying to hit the one-year old granddaughter's birthday (missed it, of course). I simply loved its simplicity since it was panels that I just put together, but it was a good ego boost for this quilting novice, not to mention the practice I'd gotten! So, I loaded on my new HQ16 with the ProStitcher and it sat until I found a digital pattern to go with it. Once again, I

THIS GIVEAWAY IS OVER. Next time???? Winner announced here . Welcome to the Grow Your Blog Party that is being hosted by Vicki of 2 Bags Full ! As you can see by the tabs at the top of the page, I became "hooked on quilting" in 2007, but I didn't really complete many quilts...they are still here waiting for their turn! LOL I have found that I'm a process person rather than a product person, which means I just want to cut up fabric, sew it back together in a different manner and I don't really need a finished project, but I plan to turn over a new leaf in 2013 I'm going to dig into all those UFO's and finish them up!  I've also blogged since 2007, but life has gotten in the way over the years so posting has been sporadic, but I am now going to journal about my adventures in quilting. I'd love to share what I've learned about quilting and what I hope to learn and all those quilts that I plan to finish this year!  I've d
