One Year . . .

I can hardly believe that it has been one year since I joined this online blogging community! I have learned so much, been so encouraged as a mom and quilter - thanks to all of you that have enriched my life by being a part of this blog and sharing your lives on your own blogs.

A quick stroll down memory lane, if you will ~

My first post, I was working on a quilt just for me at the time. My favorite, it has primaloft batting (super warm) and it has been under our down comforter all winter!

Here I decided to be real.

My baby turned 1, and started walking! Lots of family celebrations too.

Finished a respectable number of quilts (here & here too) - I have high hopes for many more this year!

I have made even more friends through swap groups, and virtual bees! So much fun - I am constantly pushed beyond my comfort zone.

You've all shared in the ups and downs of motherhood with me - allowing me to gush about the beautiful little people in my life.

I have won quite a few giveaways :)

I have been so thankful to be a part of this community!

On that note I should tell you about the giveaway I have for you. I wish I had one for everyone - but I'm not a machine! One lucky winner will win this bag:The fabric is from Dena Design's Snow Flower Collection - not too girlie but nice and springy! I had fun lining up the center on the stripes and then matching things up as I was sewing it together. My bag has been so fun to use and carry - a great size for everything but not too much!


To win:

~ Leave me a comment - one entry
~ Add me to your reader or follow me - one more entry
~ Post on your blog and link back here - 3 entries
~ Add my button to your blog for the week - 3 entries
I will enlist the help of the random number generator in one weeks time, and announce the winner next Monday!










Copy and paste the html in the box to your blog :)


I know that I have lots more readers than commenters - This would be a great time to meet you, if you haven't introduced yourself yet. Go ahead and tell me something interesting about YOU :) I hope to have a good turn out - please help me spread the word.


Many blessings to you ~
Amy

    I just read your post where you "got real" with your blog. It was so very encouraging. Being a Pastor's wife myself, I know the hardship and heart ache that can come with it. But what's exciting is that God is so bigger than that heart ache and He has the power to pick us up and hold us so close when we feel like giving up. I know I felt like that this past weekend and He showed me that no matter what comes against me, He is for me and has me. I'm so blessed to have met you through this blogging community and pray that God is able to create a beautiful and encouraging friendship through it.

    P.S. I'm going to post about your give-away on my blog tomorrow & I've added the sidebar info to my sidebar.

    I'm Kelly and I too am a Christian. I have read your blog off and on for the past several months and find your faith and resilliance so inspiring!
    Keep up the good work! Something interesting about me? Before I chose to "retire" and become a stay at home mommy I was a wedding planner--yes! just like the movie!
    Have a happy day and thanks for the chance to win!

    I just found you today, and I so love that bag! I am a total bag addict-it drives my hubs crazy. I posted about you on my blog, signed as a follower, but I'm confused about which button I need to add to the blog. I am adding you as a blog I follow.

    Hey, came over from old red barn...I love the bag! I have just begun the fun of making bags and I LOVE DOING IT!
    hmmm...something interesting about me...I never knew I liked to sew until I became pregnant with a little girl and wanted to make her a quilt. WHAT A WORLD I JUMPED INTO! Now it's my favorite part of the day.
    thanks, I'll add you to my reader too.

    Lovely purse! I live in Park City and like to quilt, so we have common interests. I love your things and a big Happy Blog Anniversary to you. I keep thinking I will pay attention to my blog, but then I don't. FYI, there is a quilt fest in May in Salt Lake - HMQS. I lived here over 4 years and only just came across it last year. I loved every moment. Even if you don't attend a class, quilt artists do trunk shows and there are so many quilts and displays. It is worth the trip down from our mountain top. I have never been so inspired. Anyhoo, nice to find another quilter in my neck of the woods.

    Hi, coming over from UBP. I'm trying to visit all the blogs. Right now, if I visit 149 per day in the next 7 days I'll make it. I'm hoping for long nap times for the next 7 days! Anyway, it is really nice to meet you and your blog. I have a toddler learning blog myself where we do a lot of learning activities and have fun. Blogs are my favorite way to spend time. They've totally replaced magazines for me. So nice to meet you! Have a magical day!
