Grow Your Blog Party


Welcome to the Grow Your Blog Party that is being hosted by Vicki of 2 Bags Full!  Come to the party and stop at over 400 blogs and find new friends, new interests and share your blog with everyone! 

2 Bags Full

Vicki has suggested we chat about ourselves and share our blogs.  I'm into quilting and want to share with friends what I create.  I have tons of UFOs and I try to proclaim that I'm going to get all these quilts done so I actually use my blog as a journal of my accomplishments, failures, and as my to-do list!!!  I get so sidetracked with life and grandchildren that quilting seems to fall to the bottom  of the to-do list.  Anyway, if I don't post, it's because I didn't quilt and since it's a quilting journal, I steer away from too much personal life stuff!!! I try not to point out my mistakes, but that's mostly what I write about!!!

So, check out my some of my quilts and studio pics which need to update them already...things have changed, but it's getting there. I have a tab with a list of all the quilts I started each year (not very many are crossed off!!!).  I'm always looking for someone or two or three that has the same procrastination problems as I have and would love to connect with those as a way to motivate me as I'm retired and have lots of time (when I'm not visiting my grandchildren) to quilt if would just DO IT!

Glad you've stopped by and leave me a comment and I'll be sure to visit you, too!!! I hope you enjoy the Grow Your Blog party and be sure to enter any of the giveaways you come across and hope you find a new blog or two and a new friend or two.

Thanks, Vicki for hosting this great blogging event again this year!!

    Hi I'm one of Vicki's helpers checking out the links for the Grow Your Blog hop. I totally understand your problem. I currently keep a spreadsheet of my projects, because they grew so much. I hope you have a great day.

    Thank you for dropping by my blog earlier. I scrolled through some of your earlier posts and really adore the quilts you make. You are a genuine seamstress, not a wanna-be sewer like me.

    Have to laugh. Had a stack of seven quilts, pin basted and ready to go. Finally got those done because I restricted my self to no new projects until I quilted them. Plus, I'm having a "semi-contest" with my SIL to see who could move the most fabric out of their sewing room. We keep track of the yardage. A quilt isn't done until bound. Last year I "blessed forward" 88 yards.

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...

Grow Your Blog Party

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...

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. ...
