The whole cloth quilt on the bed in the photo was my first finish since starting my blog. It is called "Welsh Beauty". I started the handquilting it in 2005 and finished it Feb 24 of 2008. The photo is not good. Wish I could get a better shot of it. I used a shade of a darker taupe handquilting thread so the handquilting shows up very well in person.
The quilt hanging behind the bed is also handquilted by me, mid-2011.
I love to wake in the morning surrounded by my quilts. Hanging a quilt behind the bed was Retired Hub's idea. There are actually 3 quilts on my bed during the winter months. Soooo cozy and warm.

Congratulations on 5 years. A great accomplishment. I have quilts surrounding me on the sofa where i usually site. can't have too many of them.
ReplyDeleteAt present I think I follow about 140 blogs, though I do go through the list every few months and reduce those who have stopped posting, but then immediately I seem to add a few more.
Good for you for sticking with it. And for learning. I love your quilts. As for blog following, the limit is 300 and that's what I usually have but there are times I go through and delete the ones that have given up blogging. I think I am following 298 right now.
ReplyDeleteFive years is indeed a commitment of epic proportions! Congrat’s to you for your dedication to your blog and thanks for showing us all your beautiful work!
ReplyDeletecongratulations on your blogaversary!! I dont even know how many blogs I follow!! But I can spend way too much time here LOL
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Linda. You've done a marvelous job of blogging! I love to see pics of your latest projects. Your quilts are stunning. Thanks for the chance to win some fabric!
ReplyDeleteHappy Blogiversary! Love both the quilts. Currently there are about 180 blogs that I follow. I wish I had time to read more but I'm luck if I get time to read the ones that I currently have on my list.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on 5 years of blogging, Linda! I follow about 175 blogs. I thought that was a lot but not as much as you! I'm sure there are other people who follow even more than that!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your 5 year blogiversary! I don't dare look at the number of blogs I follow but I'm pretty sure it's in the 300 range. I have to cut back though because it takes too much time! All you quilt bloggers and your inspiring work are too hard to resist, though! ARGHHHH!!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Your whole cloth and wall quilts are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI follow 149 blogs. I don't know how you keep up with so many!
Five years! That's a long time - congratulations on such a great milestone!!! I follow close to 300 blogs too - I get so much inspiration from other bloggers. They make me laugh, cry, hope, learn, create .... the list is endless! =^..^=
ReplyDeleteLove whole cloth quilts. Congratulations for 5 blogging years.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your 5 years of blogging Linda. I 'follow' 21 blogs at present, but have in my Google reader another 22. Some days I find I'm reading so much that I only do a little sewing. But, I love reading what others are doing.
ReplyDeleteHow time does fly!! :) Ok, one of these days I'll count how many I follow - but just not tonight! I had 176 posts to read a bit ago and I really try to have all the posts read each day before going to bed...so...it's going to be a HIGH number. I love them and I'm always being told about another fabulous blog to check out which I do and then I have to add that one to the list also. It's a vicious circle!! lol
ReplyDeleteThis is very good quilt.I like the design ,,also the color you have used in making of this quilt is very good and attractive..

ReplyDeleteHappy Blogiversary! (I just read that in your comments and it is so cute, I just had to borrow it) ...;)
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting my blog and leaving a lovely comment. I enjoy meeting new quilters and seeing their lovely quilts so I followed the thread trail here and now I am a follower so I can find my way back, too.
As soon as I saw the quilts in the photo, I knew I would want to see and read more. These quilts are sew beautiful!
Many happy more years of blogging and quilting ... :) Pat
