Well...I am "making my way back" into blog land. I have NO BIG excuses or at least I am NOT going to use them here, other than "sometimes life interrupts." I kept up on my "reading" but, not on my posting. After having been away so long I question if I should just be a quiet blogger and only read others (my followers are few). BUT, I do feel I have things to share and occasionally "show-off." I currently don't belong to local quilt groups and have been somewhat disappointed in what my local quilt shops have to offer with the exception of one. However, soon after I moved to the area a year ago that shop made the decision to stop offering classes/workshops. That is when I started to get explore the online quilt blogs and a "real" friend invited me to join an online virtual bee group, that too has been a struggle for me. BUT...I am here to say I am NOT giving up. I will work to earn my followers and hopefully that number will grow.
The pictures below are of a lap top quilt "Jelly Filled by Thimble Blossoms" I recently finished for a wedding gift. Darling daughter picked out the kit(with some guidance from me where to find it) and I did the work. We wanted this to be a "keepsake" for a special young woman and her new husband. **the day I was taking these pictures we were having ANOTHER nasty storm rolling through and I has home alone so the lighting distorts the beautiful colors of Verna that were used.**
finally.. the backing.
Thank you for visiting and I hope you will give me another chance. Please stop back soon, I will have more to share!
What a lovely quilt...I just love it and I am glad you are back...and yes, you do have information, skills to offer me....thanks!
ReplyDeleteI think you are doing a great job. Sometimes life does get in the way and you have to be a little quiet. Just remember that there are those of us out there who do read and even some who follow you on google reader so you might not see them. Sometimes when no one comments I feel like I am just talking to myself and that's okay to. It will be there a year from now when I want to look back and see how far my quilting and life have come. Keep up the great work. Looking forward to seeing what you have planned for us in July.
ReplyDeleteWhether you blog often or not doesn't matter! It's about you so if you don't as often oh well. It doesn't have to be all or nothing.
ReplyDeleteAnd you have lots to show off so keep it up!
I know I like feeling part of something, because I don't belong to any "real" groups either.
Pretty quilt! And welcome back! There are lots of blogs I read but don't always comment on. So I have to believe I have readers who don't comment either. And I blog for myself...to share whatever is going on in my life, quilting related and not. That's what this is all about to me...sharing! :0)
ReplyDeleteWelcome back. Next time you head up to Betty's Pie's you'll have to wave as you drive by, lol. The North Shore is such a pretty drive and all in my own back yard. :-D
ReplyDeleteI am a lot like you... reluctant blogger, but prolific blog reader! Very pretty quilt.
ReplyDeleteI blog because I don't have time to guild being a full time worker bee and mama. I love these quilts you are sharing, they inspire me. What a pretty quilt. I love VERNA. I really do.
