Folks, who knew, that after having sinus surgery and deciding that I should start using the sewing machine I bought 6 months ago, I would be here. Welcome to my 4 year blogiversary. Wow!!
Sometimes, I am amazed that I kept with a hobby for 4 years and other times I can’t believe its only been 4 years, its gone by so fast.
This year has been an amazing journey. I want to thank all of you who have joined me and supported me on this journey, both here and on Instagram (IG). Looking at October 2015 through September 2016, these are some of my most memorable projects & WiPs.
This year has been a big year. I have loved experimenting and playing with different techniques and color. I have loved teaching my new quilting classes. I hope the year ahead is as good to me…I know it is starting out well.

I’m interested in curves and improv!
I follow you on Instagram and through feedly.
Congratulations! Your blog and projects are always such a delight to see. I’m pretty new at all of this stuff and can’t decide what I’m most into now; I’m learning a little about paper piecing and I’m really into improvisation and into learning how one does curves.
I follow you through your blog.
I am a machine quilter, nothing fancy, so I love learning about things I can do to step it up a bit and move outside my comfort zone. Paper piecing? Hand quilting? Eeek! 🙂
I am a subscriber! I follow your lovely blog on Bloglovin. Thanks for all the inspiration and ideas! Happy Blogiversary!
I know it’s something you already do, but I’m always interested in ready more about people’s design process. It’s not something I tend to do – I’m more interested in playing with colours and prints, than really caring too much about the pattern I use, though obviously it plays in – so probably that’s why I pay so much attention to other people’s process.
Also, happy anniversary!

I love earning more about color, placement – how to make a quilt sing like in your most recent post. I could read that info for days
hi! thanks for doing this! abstract/geometric designs (recently made one of those circle quilt-tops) are cool to work on… i follow by “email.” have a great day! (cannot wait to make some of the pillows you designed!) 🙂
Happy 4 years, Michelle! Lately I’m thinking about quilting technique for nonquilts… hoping to find some studio time to explore!
And I follow you on Bloglovin’ : )
(P.S. I adore Hawthorne Threads – have you heard the interview of the owner that Abby Glassenberg did a while back on her podcast? Really fun!)
I’m in a project right now, called the 70273 Project, making blocks with red crosses to remember disabled people murdered by Nazis during WW2. A beautiful project.
I follow you be email. Congratulations on your bloganniversary!!
Happy Blogiversary! I feel like I’m seeing much more improve/asymmetric/non-block-based design which is really intriguing (and what initially drew me to modern quilting)
Happy 4th Blogaversary. I love quilts of all kinds and learning more about the modern genre.

What quilting topics and themes you are interested in at the moment. As the weather cools I am starting to concentrate on how I can quilt all the quilt tops I have pieced so far this year. I have a range of modern quilts, and one complex applique. How to pick quilt motifs is always a struggle for me.

Happy anniversary! I love all your stuff, so just keep being you and making great quilts.

Time flies, doesn’t it!? Right now I’m definitely interested in improv. I’ve got several commitments going on right now but looking forward to just playing soon!

I am interested in circles at the moment, and dense cross-hatch quilting!!!
Lately, I’m intrigued by EPP and paper piecing. We’ll see how that all plays out.

I love lessons in piecing and enjoy holiday themes.
I tend to be inspired by nature, mid century modern styles, science, and 60s and 70s pop style stuff.

I would love to see quilts working with vintage patterns or fabrics!

I would love to see more piecing projects
A neighbor upgraded her furniture and gave me this fabulous vintage pullout couch. I would love to have quilt with similar vintage fabrics and colors to keep on my pleather couch to tie them together.
Congrats on 4 years!
I just discovered you on Bloglovin’ Happy Blogiversary! I love combining traditional and modern in quilting and seeing how others do this : )
I learned a lot about quilting and sewing from my grandmother and finished several smaller projects years ago. I now have time to really work on some projects. I appreciate how-to’s on medium skill level techniques and newer design ideas,
I’ve always wanted to make a quilt, but I lack the skills. Thanks for the chance to win!
Right now, I am into feathers and ocean waves themes.

I am really into free hand quilting right now. Also anything up cycled or recycled. I love the going green in sewing, wonder what we could quilt when it comes to old clothes and some lace…?
I am interested in quilting tips for beginners.
