Hi Bloggers.
I just want to say 'Thank you' for taking the time to come in and sit awhile to read my blog.
My name is Judith and I am a sewing quilter. I totally enjoy sewing, and I started out making clothes and then went into quilts. My fingers get itchy for pins and fabric. The hum of the machine makes my heart sing.
I am a self taught quilter and whatever else I do. Garden, blog, cook, and even do some home canning.
I am a grandmother of five, one girl, four boys. The oldest is ten, and the youngest is sixteen weeks.
I homeschool my grand daughter who is the oldest. We are into the fourth year of playing school.
I hope to get to know more of you as this year continues and I remember to keep the fire going under this pan. I have a lot of pans on the stove all the time, and some times I forget which one has fire under it.
I began blogging a couple of years ago, because a friend gave me the idea, as well as my sister. So much to share with others when others have the time to sit awhile.
I am glad to be a part of this Grow Your Blog event.
I started an Etsy shop so I can help at home and sew at the same time. If you want to see what is there click on the link, or on the button on the side.
I hope to share with you what makes my heart sing, which is what I create when I get to SEW.
Again THANK YOU for taking the time to stop and read thru my blog.
To further thank you I’m giving away a coin purse made by me from a fabric I have on hand. This giveaway is open to anyone. In order to win, leave me a comment and tell me what your favorite fabric is (floral, geometric, solid, novelty, etc (please be sure you are not a no-reply on Blogger). For a second chance to win, you can become a follower and leave a comment telling me you have done so. Winner will be chosen on February 15th. Good Luck!

Love floral fabric, Judith. Would love to win a coin purse. I like your aprons too. Thanks for the chance! I'll be coming back to your blog.
Picking just one fabric is hard because I love them all. Lately it seems that I have fallen for polka dot fabric. I'm lucky number 13 on your followers list. Have a wonderful day, Toni peddlerjo.blogspot.com
Hi Judith. My favourite fabric is anything by Kaffe Fasett! I guess that means floral and bright. I love your purses.
I've become a follower now. I'm interested in seeing what else you make. Thanks.
new follower by email, isn't this blog fun?
I guess floral would be a favorite but I love most fabric . I am a new follower and look forward to more visits .
Have a lot of the same interests as you. I have to say I love solids as of late. I do a lot of hand quilting and they show that off the best. I am a new follower and look forward to returning soon.
I love your reference to keeping "the fire under the pan"! I think I can relate to that. How blessed you are to have such a large extended family. I joined your blog and will look forward to reading more. I love fabric, too, although I do not sew quite so much these days. I'd have to say my fave is anything vintage or cottage style - gingham, calico, etc. Cindy from TheCranesNest.com
Very nice introduction to your blog. Family is the best, isn't it? My favorite fabrics - a 50-50 split between batiks - the Hoffman 1895 kind - and Civil War repros. I can't get enough of either one! Thanks for the giveaway chance. dezertsuz at gmail.
Thank you for stopping by Angie.
Dots are good Toni, and 13 can be a very lucky number. Thank you for becoming a follower.
Kaffe Fasett is wonderful and floral and bright are great. Thank you for the complement.
Doubled your chance to win and I will definitely share what I make. :)
Great way to get acquainted. :)
I can understand the love of most fabrics. Thank you for following and your visits.
Glad to hear I am not alone out here. And yes solids help POP the designs. Glad to see you are following and look forward to your returns.
I am so glad to know you are following and have fires burning as well. Family really is important to me. Thank you for cruising by.
Thank you, and family is the best, in many ways. I agree with you on the batiks. Love them, find it hard to cut them up. lol. Good luck.
Love the windmill :-)

My favorite fabric is denim. And I am following :-D

Hi Carol. MISS YOU!!! Come see me out at Moore's in Corona, on Saturdays. LOL Thank you for following :)
Glad to have met, thru GYB. Geometrics are fun. Thanks for following.
Lovely to 'meet' you Judith!! Just visiting your lovely blog via Vicki, A Quilter's Mission. Mmmmm......'tis a bit tricky choosing a fave fabric...love them all!! But....if I have to choose it would be florals....love, love, love anything to do with flowers!!
Hello Judith. I popped over to your Etsy store, your wallets are really great. They look so polished! I tend to gravitate toward natural colors and prints, greens, florals, browns. I look forward to seeing more of your work.
Hello,
Nice to meet you.:)
I would like to participate in your giveaway.

Greetings.

I love floral fabrics.
Nice meeting you!!! I am from Canada and since it is such a large country, I must tell you that I live in the province of Ontario! My favorite fabrics are Batik!! I am following your blog via GFC - thanks for sharing in this hop!!
When I first started to quilt my favorite was novelty fabrics however over the years it has changed to geometrics. Really enjoyed your blog
Love your wallets! I have made Valentine iPhone cases, so I guess "novelty fabric" is my choice. Dog prints, word fabrics strike my fancy.
Greetings from Henderson, Nevada! I hopped here from the GYB Hop -
Love the wallets in your Etsy shop!
I am a fabric lover so it is hard to go wrong! I favor geometrics over floral, but there are definite exceptions when it comes to vintage and retro florals!
Homeschooling! Rocks! :D A favorite fabric...you've got to be kidding! I love them all!!! :D
Oh and I am now happily following your blog!
Thank you for visiting my blog today. I'm still working my way through the list of blogs. You do great work. & homeschooling your granddaughter must be rewarding work.

Hi from Switzerland! I've had a good time looking at your Etsy shop. You do very professional work! As for favourite fabrics, I seem to changing at bit at the moment. I tend towards the traditional English rose garden but am also being distracted by brights occasionally. :-) Thanks for the giveaway!
Hi Judith, I love primitive and traditional quilts so reproduction and civil war era fabrics are some of my favorites. Nice to meet you. Thanks for visiting my blog.

Hello - I found you through GYB and am now a follower. Don't think I could go back to "school" but special times for you and your granddaughter.
Favourite fabric - that's a hard one; probably something soft not bold and bright. Beautiful quilts you've made.
Dropping by from the GYB party. Am a new follower! enjoyed seeing your quilts. I also like to quilt. Stop by for a chance to win my nifty fifty giveaway. I was wanting to ask you about a photo of your dog from your July post. Pease email me at doloes@doloresquilts.com when you get a chance
I am visiting from the GYB hop - it's taken a bit of time but I am glad I had a chance to visit your blog. I love tulips, by the way! Lovely to meet you and learn a bit more about your family. Enjoy the party!
Hi there stopping by from GYB hop. Great creativity happening here. Very talented.
Hello Judith. I absolutely love the picture you have as a backdrop. It is fabulous! Also impressed that you are home schooling. That takes enormous self discipline. Guess if I had to choose, I would say I like florals best.
And I have followed you.....
You are a very talented lady thank-you for dropping by my blog I have joined yours.
Thank you for your sweet comments and encouragement on my blog! Your quilts and garden are just beautiful! I also checked out your Etsy shop. The wallets and aprons are fantastic! I look forward to seeing more of your work in the future.

I liked you following you on goggle connect and Bloglovin you. hope to see you in the cyber neighborhood I am new to blogging so I don't have a lot posted because I got side tract with GYB party. Kind of felt it was important to have some one read my silly chatter. I can't remember a time I didn't dabble in something creative. I tried a little of everything. But, my new love these days is Card making I just love it.

Hi Judith - thanks for visiting Comptonia! Glad to meet you. I just came from your etsy shop, and wow, you do make very nice things! The wallets look especially lovely.
I lean toward floral and botanical themes, probably because that's what I'm surrounded by...I live in the woods :)
