2018 Was a "pretty" good year
I have visited a few blogs this week and saw this Linky Party hosted by Meadow Mist Designs. I decided it would be a good idea to share some of my linkys all in one place. For my benefit more than anyone else's. I checked my stats.. I don't have lots of followers, nor many comments. More views than anything else. But that's ok with me. This blog is my "thing".
1. MOST COMMENTS: 14 comments and 586 views.
Dick and Jane, 5 yard quilt was one of the projects on my UFO list. The top is completed and I recently purchased fabric for backing. One of my Go-to long arm quilters is "going South" for a couple of months, so that means I need to get on the list of my other favorite quilter. Christmas is a busy time for all, and she has many family and Church obligations. So, it needs to be done.

Pink Stuff was just a post about some sewing I did. Maybe it was the cute pillowcase tunic I made for my great granddaughter. Or maybe viewers are just drawn to the title PINK STUFF!
My Favorite..
My QOV project This is my favorite collection of posts about a specific project. The quilt of valor quilt was a labor of love and commitment. I started this quilt using a pattern I found on line and a long held and jelly roll. You can read about this quilt here
The reason it is my favorite blog post, is that as I blogged about the problems I was having, lots of fellow bloggers reached out to me with suggestions and encouragement. It was because of these responses that I persevered and now the top is done. Thanks to all, but especially Julie at Pink Doxies! She had a similar tutorial on her blog, and took the time to email me extra encouragement and a "kick in the pants" -" you can do it" attitude. I needed that!!
