It always inspires me. Today I decided to hunt for you online and up popped this blog. I have a crazy quilt that I started about 9 years ago and I only work on it once a year for a week when I go to an event called Sewing-by-the-Sea in Ocean City, Maryland with 99 other women. I'm looking forward to trying something new. I love Whimsy and color and what you do is amazing! Thanks for being you.JamJarJudyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00688817119608029504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5875685329759208622.post-59700398000370344412018-01-23T15:16:39.543-08:002018-01-23T15:16:39.543-08:00I am trying to be more understanding of the things...I am trying to be more understanding of the things others may/are going through on their life's journey and give them a hand to help.Sharon Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09178199596067648465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5875685329759208622.post-48200294166379530712018-01-20T04:14:46.554-08:002018-01-20T04:14:46.554-08:00Welcome back Mary Lou!

It is for anyone who likes to make gifts and leave them anonymously for others to find. A way to make someones day and put a smile on their face. Next I plan on making some scrappy hearts and leaving those for others to find, I like the idea of adding a word to them, as well. <br /><br />DebbieWoolenSailshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08621977477193550261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5875685329759208622.post-27498397843733517172018-01-19T12:50:17.212-08:002018-01-19T12:50:17.212-08:00Hi MaryLou.

I committed to a year of coaching/painting with a coach/painter in Taos, NM. Totally out of my comfort zone but really feeling the need to grow. The year has started out wonderfully with positivity, joy and creation.

Trying to get the sugar back out of my diet. Also, I have many quilt tops that have been sitting in my sewing room far too long. They will get quilted this year, and many of them donated to those in need. I'm teaching my two oldest granddaughters (ages 6 and 9) to sew. We have been looking at the Hoochy Two-chy book and will hopefully be having some fun with that this year.Pieceful Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07696457614689917799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5875685329759208622.post-21050361394745611712018-01-19T01:54:39.250-08:002018-01-19T01:54:39.250-08:00I have been sewing for years but just started maki...I have been sewing for years but just started making quilts this last year. I made 5! I always read your blog because it is so happy and fun! Just stated another quilt yesterday for my soon to be first granddaughter... what could be better than that?<br />Happy to read your newest post!

That last one is not totally selfless as I will gain quilting experience! ;)mtquilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10881826538759603859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5875685329759208622.post-89719964617285132552018-01-18T03:58:33.929-08:002018-01-18T03:58:33.929-08:00Starting the new year out with decluttering.

This taught me that simplifying may be a bit more difficult than I thought. It will be a great learning lesson and life affirming year. I look forward to the lessons, and seeing what I learn.

My goal is be happy with myself and stop feeling inadequate any longer.Terri Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15981800948550295634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5875685329759208622.post-87454852263901649722018-01-16T11:52:50.008-08:002018-01-16T11:52:50.008-08:00I am going to go into this year with love.
