7 years of posting on my blog.............

 I actually forgot that yesterday was my 7 year Blogiversary.  I started my blog on July 4, 2007.  Here are collages (over 100 quilts) starting with Nov. 2008 to present of finished quilts that I have shown on my blog.  2008 and 2009 collages only show the quilts that were quilted on my longarm.  I didn't start doing collages at the beginning so I'm missing all of the finishes on my regular sewing machine from July 2007 to the end of 2009.  They are on the blog, just not in collages.
(Click on any photo to enlarge.)
 2008 quilted on longarm
 2009 quilted on longarm
 2010 quilted on longarm
 2010 quilted on regular machine
 2011 quilted on all machines
2012 quilted on all machines
 2013 quilted on all machines
2014 through June, quilted on all machines

For any new readers, I label each post and there is a label list on the right side bar.  I hope you enjoyed the review.

I was just thinking about how loyal you are to your posting, compared to me, and found your latest. Wow, what a lot of quilts! I too would find it head to choose a favourite there are so many beautiful ones. I do lean towards the Crooked Cobblestones though.
Congratulations and many more!

I so enjoy your blog, reading current and past posts, looking at pictures of your quilts in progress and finished, reading how you think through each block, combination of blocks, borders, backings, bindings, colors, prints, fabrics, quilting. Thank you for generously sharing online. I have learned so much.

Congratulations on the milestone. All of your quilts are beautiful. Lots of hours and love on all of them. Wow, just think about all the yards of fabric and all the thread you got to play in. And now onto the years ahead. Thanks for sharing your talent.

Sylvia Anderson said...

Congratulations on your 7th. year anniversary and thank you for sharing your beautiful quilts with us. They are all different and unique and it must give you a remarkable sense of achievement to have accomplished so much in a relatively short period of time. I will look forward to seeing the next 7 years of creativity posted on this blog.

Paule-Marie said...

Congratulations on 7 years. I am always amazed at your creativity and at how much you accomplish both with your quilts and around the house. So, enquiring minds want to know - do you ever sleep? I just went to a lecture by Sharon Schamber and learned that she works about 100 hours a week.

Judy Dietrich said...

The collages are so neat to see the fabrics and designs as you made them!! Fantastic!! Seven years of fun and color. Thanks for blogging---it means sew much to many quilters EVERY day

GO STARS! said...

Happy Blogiversary! I'm so glad you share your quilts with us! They're so beautiful and definitely make me look at my color choices a little closer. I'm learning not to be so matchy-matchy and it's making my quilts a lot more interesting. Looking forward to seeing more.

Deb@asimplelifequilts said...

Simply Amazing!! What a wonderful post and cheers to the next 7 years of inspiration.

Charlotta said...

Your retrospective inspired me to spend a little time skimming back through some of your "old" posts - meaning just old in the sense of before I started reading your blog! It was, of course, quite inspirational. I'm always impressed with the amount of sewing and quilting you accomplish, but even more so with how much I love almost every single one of your projects. And that held through going back. Looking at the tiny pics in your retrospective post, it was really amazing to see just how effective your use of contrasts have been. I love the way some of the quilts look like they have a light radiant hole in the middle! Thank you, again, for taking the time to share what you make with perfect strangers, like myself, I so enjoy reading and seeing your blog.

Vicki W said...

That is very impressive! It's clear that your blog is appropriately Names.
