Morning :)
Feeling a lot better today! You guys have fabulous blog lists lol I happily sat on the sofa and read through sooo many blogs over the weekend, I think I've now got more inspiration than fabric to play with!
After a foray over to Lily's Quilts I read her latest post with interest "Small New Blog Meet Up" and it got me thinking about reintroducing myself, to join in she asks that you write a post that tells people a little about yourself and your quilting. I started this blog a few month back mainly to document my first online bee - Sew Modern Bee but my enjoyment of crafting, quilting, swapping and blogging about it all kind of out grew that first plan :)
So now this blog is my space to cover all of that (And to have a little whinge about being poorly — see my last post lol)
So that explains a little about my blog now onto me…just so you know I've rewritten this more than evelenty times as I'm rubbish at writing about myself. I'm regularly the youngest person in my local quilt shop, unless someone brings the grandkids along to a class. My mum used to say my taste was all in my mouth due to the fabulous colour combinations I wore/dyed my hair/painted my room. My hair is currently Kona Cerise colour and you know you love fabric when you can match your hair to a Kona colour! I'm someones mum, have been for just over 9 years now, and will more than likely say the same things to my darling daughter as she grows up :)
As for my quilting I suppose I would fall into the Modern category but that doesn't stop me trying classic blocks, I may not be any good at them but I give them a go! I enjoy using modern prints in my projects I love the way the colours pop :) I've recently started embroidering again so I imagine some more pics may well find their way on here soon!
Well I think that just about covers it for an all about me and my blog, I love reading comments so if you have any questions pop them in the comments and I'll get back to you.
Hope you have a great week!
Yay! thank you for linking up. Cerise hair sounds good! Love the quilts in your flickr photostream
ReplyDeleteThanks Lynne, My mum has finally admitted she likes my hair :)
ReplyDeleteJust found your blog through Lily's Quilts. Well done for starting up a blog. I'm a blog 'lurker' and haven't found the courage to start one up myself. I'll be following yours from now on - especially. As you've got a cat!!!

Malmur I'm a lurker too lol I read so many blogs but didn't follow any until started my own!
ReplyDeleteIssabella rules the house! she's a chocolate point siamese who thinks she's a talkative teddy bear - If she isn't sitting on my knee getting petted I can hear her "talking" to herself in another room, she plays fetch too :)
I'm looking forward to following your blog. I've got 2 cats who like nothing better than to sit on a newly finished pile of quilt blocks.. I also read too many blogs, I can spend the night reading them. It's been great to come across some more British quilters. :)
ReplyDeleteWow. Your blog is so organised!!!! How am I ever going to get mine to this!
ReplyDeleteHahaha I played with it and kept my fingers crossed that no one was reading while messed up settings and had to put them back!
ReplyDeleteI have just come over from Lilly's blog and am looking forward to getting to know you through the wonderful workd of blogs - I must admit I am not brave enough to start my own yet, maybe one day. However I love the quilts that you have been working on and look forward to seeing your further adventures.

I've found you through Lily's quilts too. What a fabulous idea. Hmm - you may be stuck with me now :). I'm Jan, from Cornwall UK - looking forward to getting to know you.
ReplyDeletePS - my cat's called Jasmine
Okay, I'm embarrassed to say I had to check out Kona Cerise just to see what colour that is! Very nice! I'm a Lily's Quilt convert as well, and I'm loving checking out all the great blogs. And of course because I am also a cat owner- 2 Egyptian Mau girls who love to snuggle on unfinished quilts.
ReplyDeleteHi, I found you at Lily's small new blog post and I've come to follow you! I'm looking forward to reading more of your blog, Janine :)
ReplyDeletewhoa - your mitered boxes quilt is amazing!
