Thanks, Jill<\/a>! Even though I had a difficult time figuring out how to meet all of the requirements for the award, I still appreciate it. So here are the rules:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Put the logo on your blog. (done!)<\/div>\n
Thank the giver and give a link to her blog<\/a>. (done!)<\/div>\n
List seven characteristics of your personality. Hmmm \u2026 that’s a hard one!<\/div>\n
    \n
  1. I love being at home.<\/li>\n
  2. I love to travel. (These two aren’t mutually exclusive, after all!)<\/li>\n
  3. I’m stubborn.<\/li>\n
  4. I love my family.<\/li>\n
  5. I’m a dog-lover.<\/li>\n
  6. I love quilting \u2014 obviously. \ud83d\ude09<\/li>\n
  7. I spend far too much time online.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    List seven more blogs with their links and notify these people that they have “won” this award. Now, this is really<\/i>\u00a0difficult! It’s not that I don’t think at least seven people have amazing blogs; it’s more a matter of will they be irritated at having to do the same thing? Oh well, here goes:<\/div>\n
    <\/div>\n
      \n
    1. My twin sister, Jill<\/a>, whom I’m so proud of for coming so far so quickly in her quilting!<\/li>\n
    2. Sally<\/a>, who does some of the most gorgeous quilting I’ve ever seen \u2014 much of it feathered.<\/li>\n
    3. Michelle<\/a>, who has accomplished so much even while moving twice in just a few months.<\/li>\n
    4. Diane<\/a>, who designs and quilts beautiful quilts for various fabric manufacturers\u00a0\u2014\u00a0and also has them published!<\/li>\n
    5. Susan<\/a>, who does lovely work and teaches her local (winter) group what she knows.<\/li>\n
    6. Another Sandy<\/a>, who also has a fun podcast that I enjoy.<\/li>\n
    7. Geta<\/a>, who does gorgeous work in Romania, where it’s frequently difficult to find supplies.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      <\/div>\n
      <\/div>\n
      \n
      That’s it! I hope everyone enjoys visiting these blogs. \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
