I would like to thank Edith at inchbyinchquilting.blogspot.com for nominating me for the Liebster Award. I am so new to this whole blog thing, I didn't know what it was, and had to do some research:), now if I could just figure out how to get the button for it on my blog:-)
Please go and check out Edith's blog. She is another very talented quilter, and I'm sure you'll be blessed by visiting her site.
So, as a recipient of this award, I am supposed to pass it on to 5 other bloggers with a following of 200 or less. " The Liebster Award encourages the recipient to thank the person who nominated you and link back to them. With those that you would like to nominate for this award, leave a post on their blog, letting them know they have been nominated for it."
So, here are 5 of my fav bloggers I've been following and enjoying:

Busy...Busy...Busy
I don't know what the deal is, but the more I try to get caught up, the further behind I get! I have been so busy, and I still have so many quilts waiting to be quilted. I have pictures of several I have finished, but have not downloaded them all to the computer yet, so I'll just put a couple of teasers on here for now.
So, that is all the photos I have for now. I'll post more later.
As for the rest of my busy schedule, I just got back from taking a class on furniture painting with this great paint called, Annie Sloane's Chalk Paint. I had a blast and really got some good ideas for technique. I'm going to attempt painting my island in the kitchen. I'm leaning toward a red, but bought some other colors just in case.
I also went to an APQS course on maintaining the long arm. It was in Carroll, Iowa. I drove up from Lubbock ( by the way, that's a longgggg....drive). I met another longarmer from the forum, Connie, at the Omaha, Nebraska airport, and we roomed together. It was a very educational class, and I learned a lot. Now I just hope to able to apply everything I learned when it comes up. Not stuff you do on a daily basis. They gave us a great manual to help with the memory, though, and Amy the instructor did an awesome job of teaching it.
Amazingly, they had just hired a new woman for teaching, and she had lived in my hometown Lubbock, TX for 5 years! That was fun, as I usually don't even meet people that know where Lubbock is, much less have been there :)
Well, now I'm back to work, so the quilts will have to wait for another day.
Ya'll have a blessed day!
Here's another shot of the table cloth. It ended up barely fitting on the long arm, and at it's largest point, was bigger than a king size quilt! |
