Ta Da!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is my 100th post. DD and I discussed what to do and like many others who came before me there will be a drawing. Now to make this interesting I want you to tell me about yourself in a comment so that I can get to know my readers better. Likes, dislikes. Do you enjoy other hobbies, etc. Using this information, DD and I will custom make a little goody bag or box. I will randomly draw from the comments this coming weekend.
Be sure I can contact you or I will have to go to another person that has commented! Good luck and hugs to all!
Hi Swooze, I'm Elizabeth (lillybit) from Wanganui New Zealand, where this morning is giving a glimpse of the oncoming summer. I picked the years first rose and put in DH button hole as he went of to day care. I'm Mum to 5 4 girls and 1 boy only one of whom lives near by. I'm Nana to 13 and great nana to 3. Of course I knit and sew for them tho much less than I used to. I spin, knit, paint, write, quilt embroide and do Maori weaving using Flax or flax fibre making kete (bags) piupiu (traditional skirts)and muke (flax fibre) woven bags. I still have enough time once I go to bed to read 2 or 3 books a week. I enjoy getting to chat with you on quiltchat and try to keep up with your blog on a regular basis.
ReplyDeletecongratulations on your 100th blog.
Hi!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your 100th post!!
I am Traci (sewbaby). I have two furry children (Izzy, a bichon and Penny, and beagle/shitzu mix). I am a nurse in a neonatal unit thus the name sewbaby...because I sew for "my" babies. I crochet, knit, quilt(most now), embroider and cross stitch.
I too am in the process of reorganizing my sewing room...boy, is it hard!
Congrats on your 100th post.

WOO HOO on 100 posts! I am a married second grade teacher. I love to quilt and to scrapbook. My favorite colors are red, white and black and that is what you can see in my kitchen, my scrapbooking/quilts (one of the colors is in every quilt I make if not more than one) and was my wedding colors. You know that I am a dog lover as I have rescued many. Currently hubby and I only own one basset hound that we love named Daisy.
ReplyDeleteHi Swooze
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your 100th post. My name is Yvonne (Eva) an I live in the remote Northern Territory on a 7000km sq Cattle Station where I teach my two girls in year 4 and 6. I love to quilt and embroider. I love to chat on quiltchat. I find it hard to get basic supplies because of where I live, 700km from the nearest fabric shop. I try to make at least one wallhanging a year for our School of the Air to raffle to raise money for the kids to go on camp. I love to create....and love to give. Blues greens and all hues inbetween are my favourite.
Cheers Eva
Hi Swooze! Congrat's on your 100th post! I love your idea - what a cool way to get to know the bloggers visiting your site! :) My name is Valerie (quilt_mommy_quilts), I'm 26, and a stay at home Mom to two girls. My all time favorite hobby is quilting, but I do enjoy knitting and crochet once in a while as well. I love lots of different styles of quilting, but my favorites are traditional quilts in warm colors - deep purples, browns, honey/gold, greens, blues, and reds.

Hi Swooze!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your 100th post!
I've been organizing my sewing room as well.
I have four small children and so it's a little hard to get a lot of quilting done.
My other hobbies include reading and writing and photography.
Hope to see 100 more posts!
Congratulations on your 100th post! Organizing my sewing room is an ongoing and constant chore. I love to quilt, cross stitch, read, & travel.
ReplyDeleteI've been married for over 39 years and have three children, two grandchildren and two furry babies. My favorite color is green. My kitchen has an apple theme. I love civil war era quilts. My favorite block is the nine patch and I am a leftie.
Hi Swooze, it's Gina from South Wales, UK.
ReplyDeleteApart from quilting in bright colours I also like X stitch and lace making. I'm also a gardener. I'm a stay at home mom of a soon to be 13 yr old daughter. We are both into loud music.
I'm also on a diet for the 1st time in my life.
Congrats on the 100th post
Congratulations, 100 posts!
ReplyDeleteI've only posted here once or twice, I'm not sure if I'll qualify!
I'm fairly new to quilting, I've been cross stitching for years, and will have a go with the knitting needles now and again.I have two lovely sons and an art student daughter!
Swooze, congratulations on your 100th post, but even more than that, thank you for being a one-woman mentor, cheering squad and stalker-in-chief to so many of us out here in blogland. I think you know all about me already, but for the record, I live just outside London UK, I have far too many hobbies, a dh, ds, and two cats (which I think should get a job with the amount they cost me every year in insurance and vet bills). I hate housework and would love to spend most of the year on craft holidays if I ever win the lottery.
ReplyDeleteswooze, my darling, congrats on ya 100th post hope to see another 100 from you.
ReplyDeletenow you wanna know about me ???hmmm i may very well be the strangest person you know lol i am a stay at home mother of 1 disney princess and i live in queensland australia where at times i find it hard to quilt due to the heat but i get it done anyway, i love everything associated with fabric my favourite colours are anything batik or anything blue , i too hate house work and wish the quilt fairy would do my ironing and washing and cooking but she spends all her time quilting, would love to come to tx for a holiday but cant see the money fairy comming for a visit either at this point in time, guess im gonna have to knock some of dh's teeth out and wait for the tooth fairy to come and i will hitch a ride with her lol.
Congrats on 100 posts.
ReplyDeleteMy name is Jane and I'm a Canadian that has taken up residence in the UK with my husband and 2 daughters...age 4 and 13. I'm a quilter through and through...love everything about it. I don't do dressmaking of any kind now if I can help it...recently my eldest needed a school skirt and I hated every second of making it...I like things nice and flat!
I work as a pre-school assistant for children ages 2-3 and I'm a lunch time supervisor for children ages 3-4. I love working with children and feel very blessed to be a part of their lives.
That's me in a nut shell.
TTFN!
Hi Swooze, it is about time for the 100 post!!! I am Debi, quilter from Rockwall, and one of the DFW Gang Members. I love quilting and hand embroidery. One thing you don't know about me is I am a closet "rocker". I love all heavy metal music from the 70-80's, give me Led Zepplin, Pind Floyd, AC/DC, Steppenwolf...well you get the idea..:)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on 100 posts! Me? I, too, like Geezer Rock and have an enormous appetite for absolutely useless knowledge otherwise known as trivia. No one will play Trivial Pursuit with me or for that matter Pictionary (I draw too well) LOL!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your 100th!
ReplyDeleteI only love quilting...all other interests pale in comparison for me (well except for my family of course!) I enjoy being a Stashbusters webring member and surfing the ring is my favorite late night activity. I love making mini quilts from scraps, hand embroidery, and hand beading on quilts.
WOOOOHOOOOOO Swoozie Woozie!!! Way to go on 100 posts!!! I'm inching closer to that mark myself and need to think about a drawing as well :) I guess it fits that we are close to that mark at the same time since we both started seriously blogging around the same time!
ReplyDeleteCatch ya soon girlfriend! Loves ya!
Oh I got so excited about posting that I forgot to tell ya about me (like you don't know enough already LOL)....Let's see, I'm 34, married with a 14 yo DD, I like long walks on thebeach.....LOL.....just kidding....it felt a little like a personal ad hehehe...
ReplyDeleteI've been quilting for 15 years now, I mostly machine piece and quilt....Love hand and machine embroidery....Have too many cats and a dog....
Is this enough?? Do I get entered twice for both posts?? hehehe
MUUUUAAAAHHHHH!!!
Well done for reaching 100 posts ! OK - here goes..... I'm 39 next week and met my DH at 20yo. 2 kids 17 and 10 and a complete quilt addict. I also make curtains and dressmake although not often except for customers. I buy as much fabric as I can as I have only been quilting for 4 years and need to build my stash. DH thinks I have TOO much already but that shows you what he knows - lol ! I love reggae music especially Bob Marley and UB40. I am also an avid reader.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on 100 postings. Well I am Sølvi - Living in the middle of Norway - with my two girls and husband. I quilt a lot, but have done a lot of other hobbies earlier - like tatting, weaving, tapetstry, knitting,croche.
ReplyDeleteI am trying to use more fabric than I buy - but that is a hard one. My favorite colors are brigths.
Rigth now I am embroidering av shirt for my DH's national costume (BUNAD), gardening season is ower - we just wait for the snow to come now, and make it all white.
