Hard to believe that two years have gone by since I started the blog. In a strange twist of fate, this is also my 200th blog (if my math is correct). So it is time for a give-away.
Your part in this? Just leave a comment on this post by midnight, Tuesday, May 4. Optional: tell about an exciting moment you have had in quilting. Or, if you don't quilt, just something you'd like to share. Or just say whatever you want--you will still be in the drawing.
The prize is yet to be determined, but I don't think anyone will be disappointed.
Let me just take a moment to say thank you to all who have commented over the past two years. I know that many people "lurk" and that is fine--but the comments help me to know someone is out there reading. There are times when the posts just flow, and others where I am struggling with what to say--or not to say. Just like in most of our lives!
I have decided not to worry about whether the posts are quilt-related, or about knitting, or horses--or who knows what I'll be into next. As someone reminded me recently, on the "masthead" it says "News and views on quilting and the world at large from one very opinionated quilter". When I started the blog, I could not have predicted what a winding road I would now be traveling. But I wouldn't take back one step of the journey.
One of my favorite quotes (I'm not sure who said it) is: "Well-behaved women seldom make history." 'Nuf said.
Big hugs to each and every one of you!
Sharon

ReplyDeleteMy most thrilling moment in quilting? When I first showed someone my quilts - besides family- and they liked them!

Just found your site, very interesting. I am in the process of making a Sizzling Dresden Plate Quilt. I have been quilting for a lot of years and have slow down some. But still in enjoy every minute I spend in my sewing room. I will bookmark your page and be back often. Jane Martin
ReplyDeleteI enjoy reading your blog. I think my biggest quilting thrill was when I pieced a 6 point star and the points matched!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on 200!! I have always enjoyed your posts whether they were about quilting, horsing around or some other topic.

Sharon - I'm one of those "lurker's"! The start to a perfect day for me is to go into my sewing room with a cup of coffee and spending a few minutes reading through posts such as yours. Thanks for sharing! Margaret
ReplyDeleteHi Sharon and Congratulations! Actually my exciting moment in my "stitching career" involves you. You were the first new person that commented on my stitching blog (http://kjstitching.blogspot.com/).Up until then I had emails from friends and family but very few blogs. Your comments were encouraging and I continue to love blogging with you.
