I don’t know how long I’ve been reading your blog but it’s been a long time. My husband jokes that you are one of my imaginary friends! I’ve enjoyed all of your posts! have your book Sunday Morning Quilts and I’ve made several of your patterns. I’ve just finished making 10 biased pot holders for Christmas gifts. I will miss seeing all your beautiful pincushions too! Thank you so much for all your inspiration and helpful tutorials!

It would be LOVELY if you could continue to blog on a sporadic basis, just to share what you are creating for your own personal goals. I truly wish you the best in this next chapter of your life. xoxoxoxoKristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03159714366116490300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-11920963327456405342018-12-08T09:54:01.647-06:002018-12-08T09:54:01.647-06:00I have so enjoyed your blog and the ideas it has g...I have so enjoyed your blog and the ideas it has given me.

Thanks for the opportunity to get to "know" you. You have inspired many of my projects. I continue to put pieces together for Colorful Birches, I am gathering scraps for a ticker tape wall hanging, and have my version of Remainders in a bag by my cutting table. A June quilt is still on my to do list also! And I have made several pincushions using your tutorials.

It didn't take me long at all to figure out that we were like-minded. I have learned so much from you, your blog and your books. I can't even begin to name all the projects I've jumped into because of your inspiration. <br />Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being there. I'm a much more confident quilter/sewist because of you.<br />Now, go forth & enjoy your life. Love your family. Watch your children grow.

I have loved looking at your quilts, reading your top tips (my bindings are so much better thanks to you), being wowed by your colour choices and admiring the scenic backdrops to your quilt pictures. However, we all get a certain amount of time and energy and we have to choose what to do with it. The old saying about motherhood "The days are long but the years are short" springs to mind. Best of luck with this new phase of your life. You can always come back to us!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15936039451892692260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-24535250150011944052018-12-06T02:12:17.965-06:002018-12-06T02:12:17.965-06:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Mr Naveenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06440783116887597226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-35867828407225466592018-12-06T01:55:16.860-06:002018-12-06T01:55:16.860-06:00I am really, really going to miss your blog.

I loved everything you wrote, loved all your quilts and quilt patterns. I profited so much from your tutorials and all of your phantastic ideas and tips. When I wasn't sure how to go about my quilt I would visit your blog knowing I would find help somewhere. I also enjoyed seeing you enjoy your sewing and quilting. Of yourse I can understand that you feel you need a break and also new plans. But I will miss you very much. I hadn't bought your book yet but I will do so now so that I have something from you to keep for myself.Because when I look at your quilts I always find an inspiration for myself and I wouldn't want to miss that. I wish you the very best for your new future and am very happy that you can still be found on instagram!Claudia/Ompompalihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15480820181886586055noreply@blogger.com
