Thanks so much for your gracious response to my re-entry into blog land. I'm very thankful that you all are so excited! I've missed you guys! I'm excited and a little bit nervous, too, if I'm going to be truthful.
I feel like I need to explain myself a bit. You see, I try to be a woman of my word as much as possible. Back in January when I said I was done blogging, I really thought I was done. Then tax time rolled around and I needed info on some quilts I had donated. Well, I looked back on my blog and it was all there. How handy! Plus, I saw tiny snippets of my life that I had recorded over the past few years. It all made me realize just how valuable my blog is to me and what a great documentation tool it is. So, here I am, back at it, for better or worse. :)
The quilt shown above is a king size that I stippled for my haircut girl. We worked out an arrangement where we are bartering haircuts (and highlights!) for quilting services. It's a happy arrangement for both of us! I'll admit that I'm glad that she will be the one binding this monster quilt.
Happy Monday to you!
Well, I think we're all grateful to your taxes, then!! Welcome back :)
ReplyDelete~ Jennie
Well, hello. Good to have you back in the fold.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back!!! I´ll missed you....
ReplyDeleteYou inspire me..... Good luck!!!
Welcome back! I've really missed your blog-let's hear it for tax time!
ReplyDeletei'm happy that you are back!! I've really misses your blog and your quilts!
ReplyDeleteoutinula
You do what you need to do to not feel blog pressure. We're just along for the (fabulous) ride. Welcome back.
ReplyDeleteIt's ok to change your mind. I'm really glad you did. SO happy you're back! :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great arrangement to me!!
ReplyDeleteHey, Amanda, good to hear from you!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you are back!! This quilt looks just gorgeous.
ReplyDeletewelcome back!! we are all allowed to change our minds.... and maybe the break was exactly what you needed... even if you didn't know it at the time!
ReplyDeletecute cute quilt too... nice little arrangement you got set up there!
Nice, it's nice for us that you are back. You add a lot to the quilting network. You have great ideas. Just remember it's not a contest. Pace yourself. We'd like you stay around.
ReplyDeleteGlad you're back! Maybe take the "no stress" approach to your blog - that way no burn out! LOL!! We are just thrilled you are back in blogland! :)
ReplyDeleteYep, everybody needs a break now and then! Thanks for making me happy about taxes...
ReplyDeleteIt's so easy for a blog to become a chore or obligation rather than a place for venting and expression. Don't serve the blog, let it serve you! Glad you are back and just take it easy=)
ReplyDeletewelcome back! That's a great little arrangement you have going on there :)
ReplyDeleteGlad to have you back! I had my 1st year blog anniversary last month, and I took some time to read through some old posts. It was fun and I had a few chuckles at what I thought I would do and what I actually did.
ReplyDeleteHope you can find a good balance. We so enjoy seeing your creations. Welcome back.
ReplyDeleteYay!!!! So glad you are back, I've found your blog to be really useful and easy to understand. Thank you! Looking forward to many more blogs!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis makes my day! Welcome back.
ReplyDeleteWow for once there's something to like about taxes lol So glad to have you back!! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd a happy Monday to YOU Amanda Jean! So glad to see you back.
ReplyDeleteYes, it's a great documentation place for you, and ultimately, i guess that's why i do it. But truth be tolod, it's ALSO a great inspiration for many of US.
=-)
Welcome back!
ReplyDeleteJust put a little less pressure on yourself this time and hopefully you won't burn out.
That's what I've been doing and it seems to be working so far.
Can't wait to see what you have in store.
Welcome back Amanda Jean! I forget also that I have the right to change my mind. Easy Does it.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back! I for one truely missed you blogging!! I cannot wait to see what you create!
ReplyDeleteWhatever your reasons, we are glad you have returned.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful quilt and a fun bartering tool! LOL. Good for you, haircuts and highlights can be expensive. I think you are both getting a sweet deal. I have always been a fan of some of these prints. They look great.
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday back at 'ya; it is really good to see that you are back again. You were such an inspiration to me in my quilting journey; I feel like I owe a lot of what I do to you.
ReplyDeleteAnd I LOVE the bartering arrangement, by the way. More and more people are returning to this very old, very important system of exchanging goods and services.
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
ReplyDeleteso good to have you back amandajean :D, have a great day to you too :)
ReplyDeleteWelcome back. No explanation needed. We are just glad to see you.
ReplyDeleteI am so happy to see you are back in the blogging world.
ReplyDeleteSometimes you just need a break.
You are such an inspiration.
(Mmmm wonder if I can work out a bartering arrangement with my haircut lady)

Hi, I really enjoy looking at your quilts, so glad that there will be more to come.
ReplyDeleteYAHOO! SO glad your back!! I want you to know a year ago when I began thinking about exploring the world of quilting, as an adult, I ran into your website and used your tutorials as a refresher course. Your style and technique has been very valuable to me, and I am glad your back!
ReplyDeleteI am a quilting rookie. I just finished a twin-size quilt for my daughter. My first. I'm such a visual learner that your blog, with its step-by-step photos, helped me figure out how to bind the quilt without exhausting the quilt-store ladies with yet another question. Thanks you. I'm glad you're back.
ReplyDeleteYay! I'm glad you're back. I am so inspired by you.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you're back, I just follow and don't comment too much, but I truly enjoy following your blog!
ReplyDeleteSo glad to have to back. Not that you need advice from anyone, but just post when you want and feel like it, don't get locked down and it people bug you, just turn off your comments. Have still been viewing your wonderful projects on FLICKR.
ReplyDeletegeesh - who'd a thought there would be something to be thankful about taxes?! Hope you can find the right balance so that blogging stays as an enjoyable activity and not an overwhelming one! Take care! and great arrangement with your haircut girl - great quilt!
ReplyDeletewelcome back AmandaJean. Now hopefully you can tell me the size sashing I need for the 9 patch sew along.
ReplyDeleteSo great to see you’re back! We are tahnkful to the taxes!!
ReplyDeleteI often wonder about the whole bloging stuff, but you’re so right! It’s such a great way to have your quilts and parts of your life documented! And you are such an inspiration!
This is the best thing the IRS has done for me in years!
ReplyDeleteAlso, wow, quilting a King - that is a monster.
We've missed you, and will do our best not to put any pressure on you for daily posts. Every Tuesday and Friday will be fine.
(Pretty please?)
I don't think that you need to explain yourself. It will be wonderful to see what you're up to again.
ReplyDeletei'm writing the government a quick thank you note.
ReplyDeleteJust found your blog a couple of weeks, ago. I'm so glad you're back!
ReplyDeleteWOW....such joy to find you are BACK. I was missing you like CRAZY!!! Do not feel the need to do ALL things...just do somethings with a joyful and rested heart. Blogging is supposed to be FUN, not burdensome. So welcome back and I will check in often. XXX
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday and welcome back!
ReplyDeleteI hope your return is a happy one, and that you post (and sew!) at your own pace and no one else's.
I'm so glad you're back! It's nice that the blog serves as a mini journal for you.
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday to YOU! There is no need to explain yourself; your quilting journals are an inspiration to lots of folks like me and additions are very welcome, whenever you decide to make them.
ReplyDeleteThis feels a tiny bit silly because you don't even know me but I just had to say how happy I am that you've come back! I still had your blog saved for reference & LOVE the info & insight you give! Happy to have you back to blogging!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back! No need to explain yourself. After all, it's a woman's prerogative to change her mind. :-)
ReplyDeleteWelcome back!! I often check your picture pool, but I would have to say. Your blog is amazing and I love all what you have done and hope you keep plug in.. thanks so much!!!
ReplyDeletei am so much more than delighted to find you back again. this is awesome! i love this beautiful quilt for your hairdresser....what a great arrangement

ReplyDeleteDonna
It's so very very good to have you back with us all Amanda Jean - you have been missed and your contributions to the quilting cyber world for us is valuable beyond words - looking forward to all you have to share with us.
ReplyDeleteYay! I'm so glad you're back! I totally used your tutorials to begin to teach myself to quilt.
ReplyDeleteYou hardly need another comment to know that you were missed and we're glad you're back, but I'm going to comment anyway! And I sure wish I could come up with an arrangement like that with my hairdresser! Starts me thinking.... hmmm.....!!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back!!!! We've missed you too! Jenn
ReplyDeleteI am *so* glad you are back! And how awesome that you can barter like you do. I love bartering! :o)
ReplyDeleteI am having a little give a way on my blog today and would love to have you join in the fun.
Sincerely ~ Tricia
It is great that your back. I always looked at your blog but never really commented on it. Blogs are a good way to keep track of our quilts and see our progress.
ReplyDeleteGood to see you again. I won a pincushiom from you and think of you often when I use it.
ReplyDeleteI am still working on your star quilt along. You have still been with me even though you took a break.
We are happy you are back. Your friends in Israel from the Quilting Corner.
ReplyDeleteFondly,
Etty

ReplyDeleteYou are an inspiration
~a

Really glad that you are back!! You have been missed! I hope that you and your family are doing well!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back!! Its great to know I will have entries from your blog popping up in my Google Reader. All the very best to you.
ReplyDeleteIf your blog like it's your journal and not your business, it will be a lot easier to not get stuck in the day to day of it. It's good to hear from you.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are back. I had always wanted to quilt, and loved reading your blog. You helped me be brave and actually do some quilting! I used the tutorials you posted, and at Christmas made beautiful quilted stockings for my children, something I had wanted to do for years. I was sad when you stopped posting, and am very happy to have you back.
ReplyDeleteSometimes you need a break but I am SO HAPPY that you're back! YAY!
ReplyDeleteI cannot believe how many times I have clicked back in the last twenty-four hours to read your new post!
ReplyDeleteNo explanation required. Your blog is valuable to us too.
ReplyDeleteI also have been surprised how much help my blog has been. Just recently I was wondering about binding a quilt in white...couldn't remember which white I'd used in the body of the quilt (Kona Snow or Moda Bella Bleached White)...went back to my blog where I'd listed the fabrics...and perfect...I was able to match the correct fabric!
ReplyDeleteYou are back and I am happy!!!
ReplyDeleteWelcome!
Claudia
welcome back. I'm new to the quilting blogland and have already used some of your basics info to help me out.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back! =)
ReplyDeleteAmong friends no explanation is necessary.
ReplyDeleteYou have made my week! Seriously...Your quilts are the ones I continue to look at and dream of making.
ReplyDeleteBTW...I bought Juki TL98Q. I'm waiting for it to get here later this week. A few hours after I ordered it, I read your FAQ and discovered you had one, too! I ran to hubby and told him we made the perfect decision!! LOL!
Beautiful quilt. Can't wait to see what you continue to post. We have missed you!(We being my 2 yr old and I, he like to look at the pretty quilt blogs with me!)
ReplyDeleteSoooo happy you decided to blog again - welcome back! I have you bookmarked and have referred to your blog many times since January.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad to see that you are blogging again! You were, quite literally, my inspiration to begin quilting, when I stumbled unto your blog a few months back. Looking forward to more quilty goodness from you!
ReplyDeleteAdding to the others, I'm glad to see you back, too! Flickr just wasn't cutting it for me. *grin*
ReplyDeleteYou don't need to explain yourself to me. I just did the exact same thing. Funny how addictive (and engaging) this blogging business is isn't it?
ReplyDeletewelcome back :)
ReplyDeletex
Amandajean,
ReplyDeleteDon't worry about explaining yourself. Blogging is time-consuming and sometimes people just need a break!
Welcome back.
So glad you are back! I love my blog too! Not just fun but useful!
ReplyDeleteHey I'm co-hosting a different kind of bee and thought of you. Check out my blog and see if your interested.

I miss it so much and it is because of your blog and your beautiful quilts that I am going to jump back in! I love that they are simple, but so wonderful! I LOVE your color choices and placements I have been truly inspired by you and your quilts!!! Thank you!

Everything is so easy to follow, better than any books I've ever come across. Before finding your blog I did a few pillows, otherwise not much sewing. Now I have 3 quilts completed, 3 dresses completed and more quilts in progress. Thank you for your blog and for writting more!!!

ReplyDeleteNo, I didn't get the "memo" about your return, but read about it just now on Google Reader and it brightened my day!
Hope you and your family are doing well.
Hugs, Karen
Welcome back!!!
ReplyDeleteI found your blog only a few days before your January 1st post. I was so disappointed that you weren't blogging anymore. I learned a LOT from your archives, but it just wasn't the same.
I'm looking forward to reading future posts. No pressure though - really! It looks like I am one of many, MANY people who are happy to have you back again, in whatever capacity works for you.
So very glad you are BACK! Yours was one of the first blogs that I discovered when I first started quilting last year - and I learned so much from your generous sharing of information and ideas. Welcome back!!!!
ReplyDeleteI had just found your blog after you had stopped blogging and I thought to myself how sorry I was that I had not found your blog while you were blogging. It is the best quilting blog I've found and I'm beyond happy that it is back.
ReplyDeleteA new blog friend,
vicki
Just found you and terribly pleased that you are back!!
ReplyDeleteWHIPPPPEEE you are back. I was reading on another site and she said....in case you have not gotten the memo....AMANDA JEAN is back.......now this just made my day. WE have missed you so much and you truly have opened up a new window for quilting for me. Love your style.
ReplyDeleteSmiles......Judy
Just popped onto your blog to see if past posts had anything to say about batting...and I see that you are back! Yippee! No pressure but now that you're back, would you consider another quiltalong??
ReplyDeleteAnne
I can uncross my fingers now! Welcome back! I think I only watched from the sidelines before... but missed you just the same:)
ReplyDeleteYou were one of the first quilting blogs that I found. Thank goodness you are back and I have a reason to come to your blog other than to drool over your quilts. Thanks for the time you devote to making the rest of us happy!
ReplyDeleteKelley
Wow! Look at how many of us missed you! Welcome back.
ReplyDelete
