It is nice to know,
Who is reading what we all take time to put in our blogs...

Perhaps a handful of you will come back, yippee!, and perhaps, its not your thing, that's cool too! Continue to look for a community for yourselves, because when you find people who think and create like you, we boost each other up by the lovely comments and support.

I'm heading out. But stop back next week, I'm working on putting together a little challenge maybe you'll join me on... or quilt along if you want...

right now, I'm feeling a little BLUE...
(perhaps A CLUE, or maybe I am still sick)

Or maybe both!

Remember I am heading out this weekend with my gal friends? Well, I went to get my car this a.m. to give it a good wash and cleaning, and wouldn't you know it, but something went wrong with the transmisson! Thank goodness it was at 10:30a.m.(and not on the freeway!) I am hoping to get the car back from the repair shop by 5 and we leave at 6! Nothing like a little extra excitement.... never a dull momment!

And quickly, My favorite quilt for the Quilt festival. I made this for my daughter after sharing a really lovely moment with her, learning about Gee's bend and the quilts they make. It was a process I love the most, just picking up fabric and sewing it together, and my daughter begged me for it. I have had many posts about this quilt, if you want you can see the back story here.
I really need to take a better picture of it... put on my list of things to do!

Have a great weekend!

  1. Hello hello! We're out here. I enjoy reading your blog, but like others, I don't always have time to leave a comment as I cruise by. I feel the same way on my blog. I think I have about 4-6 regulars who comment, which is great, and I'm always thrilled when a new person stops by!

    Hope you have a great weekend with your friends.

  15. sometimes I do not think there is a lack of readers, a lack of comments, yes-as we all have times of either read or create..and the compromise might be read but do not comment to be able to read more. or, as is often the case, belated reading catch up and it seems silly to leave a comment that repeats what has already been said! hope the car was fixed and a great time was enjoyed!
    will look forward to what you have in mind when you return
