| Since every post needs a photo, this is what happens while blogging with an almost-2-year-old on the loose! |
Sometimes I feel like this blog is just me rambling on and on, but it wouldn't exist without all you wonderful readers. So, I thought I'd try something different today, I'd like to get to know you! I've found some of my favorite blogs from looking at comment profiles...but I'm sure there are more out there that I'm missing! Not to mention I've been spending a lot of extra time sitting around with baby Norah, so I wouldn't mind having some new blogs to visit!
Just leave a comment answering the following questions and I'll visit your blog {make sure you leave your blog address too!}:
1. Who are you?
2. What is your favorite thing to sew?
3. What is your favorite thing you've made recently?
4. What new thing would you most like to try?
I look forward to getting to know you all better!
Oh, this will be fun to read!!!! 1)Kristy, 2)quilts, but they take so long that i don't get to make too many! 2)I made a girly HST quilt that I just love love love. 4)I really want to make a Dear Jane quilt. But I think I will wait until my skills are just a tad more advanced. However, a postage stamp quilt is also on my list and in the near future!
ReplyDeleteHey girl. I enjoy reading your blog although I mostly lurk and don't comment.

Great fun!
You've visited my blog before, but I'd love to have you again!! 1) Heather, a 35yr old wife, and mom of 2 boys 2) quilts!!! 3) Aprons for my mom and sister for Christmas - they weren't the most fun things to make but they turned out so cute and were SO well received that it was definitely made worth it! 4) I need to try free motion quilting. I am afraid of it and need to get over that, oh, and also I need the right foot for my machine.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to reading everyone's responses!

Hi, I'm Vicki. I like to sew quilts and other stuff. Sometimes cute things for my 3yo girl. (That's coming up soon, she's outgrowing a lot of her clothes right now.) I'm currently getting ready to machine quilt my king size quilt and I'm a little bit afraid. New things... I don't know. Our family just moved from Kansas to Seattle 3 1/2 months ago and that's a lot of new stuff. I'm sticking with making familiar stuff for now.
ReplyDeleteI just started following your blog during giveaway week, love it!
Hi Jennie!
ReplyDelete1. I am Connie from south-eastern Ontario, Canada
2. I am a quilter - I have very diverse tastes. I swing from very old traditional fabric & designs to modern & fresh designs. I also love to cook, take pictures (but would like to take a course sometime to get better) and I blog at www.conniepeter.blogspot.com.
3. I participated in my first virtual 'quilt-along' "12 Days Of Christmas Quilt Along" and LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the quilt it made.
4. I would like to get better at machine quilting - I'm not good at it and need to practice more.
I love your blog - I love watching your family grow (my kids are adults now)....you are also very talented and have re-inspired me.
Keep up the good work and hug your kids everyday!
Connie
Ooh, fun!
ReplyDelete1. My name is Frances, I'm currently pursuing a bachelor's in Costume Construction, been sewing for the past couple years.
2. My favorite thing to sew is definitely clothes. I don't have the patience for quilting, although I would like to try it some time in the future.
3. Probably my favorite recent sewing project is a Sorbetto top in zebra print with red trim. But there's a few more projects I'm looking forward to starting...
4. I'd like to start making steampunk clothes soon. I've got pages and pages of sketches and ideas... it's time to start sewing them!
1. A beloved wife, mother, grandmother and great grand
ReplyDelete2. I love to piece quilts - do not so much like FMQ.
3. My redwork with my favorite stitchery words, just need to make the backing of the pillow, then it will be a pillow.
4. I will be working on my UFO challenge and getting rid of some scraps this year. No buy, no need year.
I always enjoy following your blog, seeing your creativity take over your life - what a journey. Judy C

Fun questions
ReplyDelete1. Who are you?
Jocelyn
2. What is your favorite thing to sew?
Quilts
3. What is your favorite thing you've made recently?
Landscape quilt
4. What new thing would you most like to try?
Free motion quilting on a mid-arm
Oh, what a fun idea. Here's who I am.
ReplyDelete1. Svetlana

ReplyDelete2. I'm a brand new quilter, so I haven't decided yet.
3. No completed projects yet.
4. It's all new to me! LOL
1)Charlotte from Grammieq.blogspot.com
ReplyDelete2)Love to quilt the most
3)just finished my Birdie Stitches quilt (and blogged about it)
4)I would love to try hexies. They look so cute!
Hi! I'm Suz from PatchworkNPlay! Quilts are my favourite thing to make! I'm pretty please with my new stars that I'm making for a new quilt! I'd like to try all the wonderful foundation piecing patterns out there - pickledish is on my list!
ReplyDeleteJennie, This is such a great idea!! I may repost this.
ReplyDeleteWho I Am: I'm Sunni and I love to sew quilts and clothes without a pattern. If things don't match up, it doesn't bother me!
My favorite thing that I made recently is the Hopscotch Quilt I wrote about on my blog and also a journal cover I sent to a friend for her birthday. I wanted to KEEP it!
I make my own patterns now, but I would like to learn how to make a downloadable or paper pattern to put on my blog. I would also like to learn more about designing fabric on Spoonflower. Those are a few of the goals I have this year!
I would love to know your answers to these questions!
Oh what a clever idea! You already visit my blog, but I'll play along anyway. :-)
ReplyDelete1. I'm Kathy, mom to Karina and soon to be mom to Elena (due any time now!) and wife to Bill. I was a teacher until my daughter was born and now I'm just her mom! I love all kinds of crafting, including rubber stamping, scrapbooking, sewing, and other random things I do every now and then.
2. My favorite thing to sew....I guess that would be simple projects I can complete in one sitting. I have made little bags, simple baby dresses (pinafores, really), and stuff like placemats and pillowcases. I have done bigger things, too, like 2 quilts, but they aren't my usual thing.
3. My favorite thing I have made recently would have to be a case for my Nook. I lined it with velvet from this napkin I had bought on clearance many, many years ago (just one, that was all they had; bought it for the velvet) and the outside is a pretty pink and white damask cotton. I did drawstrings and they actually work, and it actually fits the Nook perfectly (which doesn't normally happen since I'm not exactly a perfectionist and don't often measure correctly).
4. Oh, I would love to try a serger and/or a digital die-cut machine. But I think the serger would be cooler. Neither are things I think I would use often, but I bet if I learned to use a serger I would use it more than the die cut machine. I guess it's a tie.

4. What new thing would you most like to try? Not really sure. I would like to venture into more exciting types of quilting.

{three} my latest finish {which I am hugely crushing} is the mock-up of my very fist quilt pattern {called Candy Wheels}. its all pinwheels, and colour with lots of character. I love it, and cannot wait to receive the printed patterns so it can be released {has been a work-in-progress for way too long!}
{four} something I absolutely would love to do more of is free motion quilting... as well as a dresden block, and maybe some paper pieced hexagons?!
Hope to see you by my little space again soon {always makes my day!}

Hello Jennie, I've been following your blog for a bit now, comment here and here occasionally. I'm Dorian, the RidgeTopQuilt-er. I love sewing bags as well as quilts. I'm teaching myself to machine quilt right now, and having a great time. Even though I really need a walking foot, I am discovering! My favorite thing recently is my baby quilts I am quilting. I think I'm doing pretty good, although there are a few bumps along the way. I love the way you and many others are embroidering in your quilts, and want to learn to embroider. But I have nerve issues with my hands, and can't sew with them anymore....hence the reason I am teaching myself to machine quilt :)

I am most pleased with my grandson's quilt that I finished to give him for Christmas. I want to try new techniques that I haven't tried yet. More applique, more paper piecing, and some art quilting.

Hello Jennie,
ReplyDeleteI've been following your blog for a while. I guess I haven't sent you any comment till now, but I love reading your blog and hopefully will join one of your events one day. Here's some info about me :)
1. I'm Paulina and I come from Poland.
2. I really love hand embroidery - I've been doing Hardanger for a while, recently I started to learn Sashico embroidery. My second love is sewing (patchwork in particular) but I'm beginner with this and there's lots to learn before me :). If you'd like to see the results of my work you are welcome to visit http://embroiderycorner.blogspot.com.
3.Recently I made my very first quilt and I'm proud of it though it's far from being perfect:). But I spent a good time working on this. I also did Sashico pillow which is pretty decent I think :).
4. I have no idea about free motion quilting. There's a project going on on one website with tutorials to learn this each month and I started practicing. So this is my goal for 2012 :). To get the grip of FMQ.
Cheers!
Hi! I usually lurk, hehe.
ReplyDelete1. Sleepy Alli :>
2. I think I like bags the best, just because they're cute and quick. If I could make quilts faster, they would be my favorite!
3. This is a Kobo case for my dad -- it's my favorite because he likes it and I'm happy when I see him using it all the time! :)
4. I'd like to try hand-quilting a whole quilt. It'll have to be something that I don't have a deadline for, though... :D
Hi, Norah! Let your mom sleep a little! :)
This is really stepping out of my comfort zone, so here we go!
ReplyDelete1. My name is Judy and I blog (when I have time) at www.sewriprepeat.blogspot.com
2. I'm just now re-introducing myself to sewing now that my children have grown. I used to always make my kids costumes, Christmas presents, and home decor items.
3. My most favorite item that I made recently were fleece pillow blankets for my nieces for Christmas. I inserted a zipper in them and the girls loves them. (haven't blogged about that yet)
4. I've signed up on craftsy. com for a block of the month. I've selected my fabrics, bought my supplies and now just getting the courage up to make my first cut. So exciting to finally learn the art of quilting.
Hi Jennie...
ReplyDelete1. Who are you? I’m Hafza from Malaysia, a full time Librarian, and mother
to five children below 16 years old age. Sewing and crocheting are what I did in my spare time.
2. What is your favorite thing to sew? I love to sew bags, pouches and almost any projects that don’t take much of my time.
3. What is your favorite thing you've made recently? I've had fun learning how to make quilt(Embroidery 101-my first)and Mug Rug that I’ve made for my hubby.
4. What new thing would you most like to try? I'm determined to improve further on quilting. This year my goals are to sew and learn quilt sewing technique by following Quilt Along online.
Well …that’s all about me:}
Love your blog!!
Hello Jennie, I'm Rhonda from Oregon. I am a full time homemaker and enjoy sewing of all kind anything to do with fabric and textiles. My favorite thing to sew is quilts, but bags, totes, and making my own patterns comes in a quick second. My favorite thing I am working on right now is my first applique quilt called "hearts desire". The newest thing I am trying this year is handwork. I have joined in on several stitch alongs, but yet to get to go to town and buy my start up supplies. Going there today to get the basics.

ReplyDelete2. Bags and totes. Instant gratification of sorts and doesn't use much fabric. Funny thing is, I don't really use the totes I make. :)
3. Swoon blocks. I am enjoying them right now. I really want to work my way through my WIP list.
4. Knit or crochet. The granny afghan squares are really catching my eye. In the quilting world, I would like to get over my fear of free-motion quilting and just suck it up and do it. I also need to get over the fact that it's NOT going to look perfect the first time around and I need to practice, practice, practice!

Hi! I'm Amy. I work full time and use sewing to help me relax and feel actually productive in my free time. (My job is pretty dull.)
ReplyDeleteI like making lots of different things and experimenting. My most recent finish was a new shower curtain - I'm pretty pleased with it.
As far as learning - I'd like to relearn knitting and crochet since I've been noticing pretty things around lately. I was never very fast at either so it was hard to actually finish anything. The one thing I made was a pair of socks which I have since worn a hole in. I guess it's time for another pair!

I know you have visited before, but this is a fun little exercise. :)
ReplyDelete1. I'm Katie, a 30 year old living in Minnesota with my boyfriend and dogs.
2. I don't think I have a favorite thing to sew. I love making mini quilts, bags, decorate objects, and the few pieces of clothing I have made.
3. Also can't pick a favorite thing I have sewn recently. Each new thing is my favorite, so I guess the banner I made last week.
4. I want to learn so many things, and not just sewing exclusive. Some things I have planned for this year are to dye fabrics, relearn welding, and photo transferring/alternative photo printing.

ReplyDelete2. I love to embroider. Adore it. It's funny, though: I tend to forget that in between embroidery projects (cross-stitching doesn't count) and remember when I notice how happy I am making something new.
3. A felt owl mask I made for my son for Christmas turned out well. The tree skirt I'm in the middle of now is looking great too!
4. I'm working on my quilting skills, which are pretty loosy-goosey. Working up to bed-sized quilts for our home.

ReplyDelete2. I love to sew bags and baby quilts. Both are a lot of fun, although I sew many, many things. I still plan to do your Ruby Market tote bag...I just keep pretty busy during the school year.
3. I made some really cute mug mats in Kate Spain fabrics. That was fun.
4. I would like to design patterns. I've been thinking about buying some software perhaps.

ReplyDelete2. Aprons! I love how quickly they go together - i need instant gratification!
3. I've recently made a pillowcase dress for a friend's little girl - it went together quick and was SO ADORABLE! My friend cried - it was super special!
4. Although I sew and spend a lot of time with fabric, I'm ready to dive into quilting. I've made a raggie quilt before, but none with machine quilting. That, and I'd love to try some hand embroidery :) I am IN LOVE with hoop art lately!
1. I am Jenniffier. I am a teacher. I live with my two german shepherds and my loving husband. I blog over at Jenniffier's sometimes creative life: http://jenniffier.blogspot.com. And that is just what it is, as I often get distracted and have way to much going on toe be as creative as I would like to.
ReplyDelete2. Quilts. I like making quilts.
3. My favorite finish last year was my posh quilt.
4. I would like to sew more... Things not just quilts, purses, maybe even a skirt
1. I'm Sydney, a Californian living in London
ReplyDelete2. I'm pretty new to sewing but I have made one finished quilt and one quilt top (your stitch and quilt along!) that I really love, but I made a jacket for my niece that I really enjoyed making.
3. I made an Oliver + S jacket for my niece that I had a great time sewing.. Really steep learning curve!
4. I am knitting myself a blanket, but I also want to make myself an article of clothing. Something that I like enough that if I saw it, I would buy it in a shop!
1. I'm Cindy, mom of 4.
ReplyDelete2. My fav thing to sew would have to be clothing for my kids.
3. I'm most proud of a wool duffle coat I finished this month.
4. I'd like to try sewing pants for me.
