she can quilt: 5 years of Blogging - today is my actual blog birthday!

So, I've been here blogging for 5 years today March 12 - it is hard to believe. You can read my first blog post ever - please allow me to introduce myself - here. No one commented on the cheeky reference to this either, but back then I had only a handful of internet friends. I started blogging because I had joined Lynne from Lily's Quilt's Quilt Along and that whole group encouraged a lot of people to start blogging, including me.

Since then, it has been a great journey. This blog has connected me to a community of quilters, many of whom have become my friends - online friends and in person friends. Those connections have encouraged me to create, show my quilts, attend quilting events all over the world, and to share what I have learned as I go.

Thank you to each and every one of you who read my blog for the encouragement, support, comments and community. It is much more fun for me to have this community. I will be here blogging for the future, until it no longer makes sense to me, so I hope you will continue to join me too.

I though a lot about how to write this post - and today I have decided to be brief and then if you like, you can check out my quilts by scrolling down this post - this is just a copy from the My Quilts tab at the top of my blog. It is a photo review of where I am and where I have been creatively. I also see that I need to take some time later to add more of my earliest quilts into the group, if you want to see those you can check out my blog archive.

Before I do that, the winner of the 10 fat quarters of Carkai sponsored by the generous folks at Sew Sisters Quilt Shop is Michelle - mehmonkey on instagram. Thank you all for participating and thank you to Sew Sisters for the bundle to give away. By the way, I might have one more give away - of something made by me - to finish celebrating this blog milestone next week, we shall see.
