Around the World Blog Hop

Sweet P Paulette asked me to join in on the Around the World Blog Hop and it didn't sound too difficult so I said yes. Thanks Paulette! And if you've never been to Sweet P Quilting blog you must hop over immediately! She is so talented working in cotton and wool and seems to get so much done. I htink I love every one of her quilts.
 It seems like you all probably know plenty about me, but here's more if you are interested!

What am I working on? 
Hahaha,, this is a loaded question! My sewing room has stacks all over- that usually means I'm being creative. Wish I could find more time to sew! Work has been demanding my attention lately. The benefits "not!") of owning your own business.
Alrighty here are a few of the main projects:

Benjamin Biggs and rose and baskets blocks.

My batik braids.

 Aargh, an upside down snake! Don't Tread on Me from the flags of the American Revolution quilt.

Our Humble Quilts quiltalong for late fall or early 2015. (gather your 1 1/2" squares)

True Blue- helping to promote P and B Textiles. 

And seriously? 8 quilts basted and ready to quilt!

How does my work differ from others?

It doesn't....much. Although I do not worry as much as others if my points don't match,  or a certain project doesn't work out as planned, or my color choices were very wrong. I chalk it up to learning and move on. I very rarely ever use the seam ripper. I don't care if my plaids/checks/ homespuns aren't cut so it doesn't look like my blocks are crooked. Chances are they probably are, so why would I worry about a plaid? lol If you want to know why I think this way you can jump on over HERE and see my philosophy behind Humble Quilts.

Why do I write/create what I do?

I wanted to be able to interact with other quilter bloggers and that is why I started this blog. It has been amazing. It's an online community that brings people a little closer together and makes the world feel a little smaller and more intimate. Thank you all for being a part of that!

How does my writing/creating process work?

I have to admit I'm not a spontaneous blogger. I usually have my posts planned out ahead, and I've been known to jot down blog topics as I think of them. If you've been reading my blog long, you know I'm heavy on photos, short on words.....most of the time. People say I'm much more fun and animated in real life. I think that means my blog is kind of boring, so I must make sure I have photos to look at! hahaha

I'm tagging two other bloggers for the Around the World Blog Hop;

Juliann is from my neighboring state and am happy to call her a real life friend. She quilts, she sews clothing, she knits, she runs, she cooks, and she works! Our adult kids are the same age and both of our mother's have Alzheimer's. As you can see we have a lot in common. Her blog is Lining up My Stitches.

Lizzy lives on the beach in New York and I'd really like to meet her one of these days. She is enjoying life with a 6 month pug (we get to enjoy him on her blog as well!), Lizzy has a knack of personalizing her quilts to make them uniquely hers, I wish I had that creativity. She shares her life on the beach, her crafting (she has an etsy shop), poetry and her culinary skills on her blog- Gone to the Beach.

I hope you'll go visit these blogs and leave them a comment.

That's it for today! Have an awesome week!
