<3 I am a happy Sew & Show Blogger! <3
Here is the story of my blogging journey ...
It started here with my first blog post.
Four years ago I started my blog as a personal record of my quilts. Twice I had tried keeping a notebook type journal with swatches and pattern info so I would have a way to check back to see what quilt I have made when and with what fabrics and patterns, but I did not keep up with it. Then I stared a blog and found this was a much easier way for me to keep this information. I had maybe a dozen followers, all close quilty friends I had met online. I found I enjoyed reading other quilting blogs and making new friends this way, so a few more friends and followers were added along the way. As I explored all the creative quilty ideas out there, I started following more and more blogs. I found I liked sharing with other quilters through my blog and I started to receive more encouraging words on my quilting efforts.
Sew We Quilt is one of the many blogs I have found and followed for the inspiration and great tutorials posted by Madame Samm and by her guest bloggers.
I never really intended to enter any blog hops or such. Then last year about this time, I saw the Leafs Me Happy and Wicked Blog Hops and felt like I should really stop sitting on the sidelines and start sharing and giving back. The first blog hop that I signed up for was the Nancy Drew hop. This combined two of my loves ... reading and quilting!
When this one was rescheduled to later, my first blog hop as a participant was the "In Your Words" hop in January.
I love these blog hops because they inspire me to step outside my box sometimes and try something new. I love learning and trying new things.
Thanks to all the Sew and Show blog community and to all the
wonderful quilt bloggers who share their ideas so generously!
