Hard to believe!
It all started here one fall day in October 2007...
I began blogging!
The idea was to chronicle my quilting journey as it fit into my every day life.
I named my blog with the name I had given myself on my yahoo account.
You must all know the story by now...
too many Lisa's,
settling in upstate NY
and voila!

and voila!
Hey, I became so famous that I had my own bus!
(yeah right!)
The first quilt I ever blogged about was my Elvis quilt
And when I wasn't blogging about big quilts
I was blogging about smaller stuff to swap with new friends on flickr.
I blogged about my first doll quilt swap that I entered...
(and boy did those swaps become addicting!)

and some of his quilts...
(the first bed quilt that I ever made!)
and last but not least,
Sugarbaby (the former "Sloppy")
and her quilts...
And my,
how I have grown too!!!
Well not taller
and I have been working on not getting wider too!!
But I have evolved...
I have gone from simple...
and scrappy...
to wonky...
and free pieced...
tried some solids...
and more recently,
worked on more free form...
worked on more free form...
And now,
there are all the other areas of media
that I have added to my repertoire
painting...
art journaling...
monoprinting...
hand dyeing...
and even some homeschooling on the side!
I might even be found striking a pose on my blog...
appearing incognito as the infamous garbage bag fairy...
and often,
on the floor of my sewing room...
And even though I am constantly getting older
and older
Yesterday, I shaved 1 minute and 28 seconds off
my time from my last 5k run
(and this race started at the bottom of a hill, no less!)
But what makes blogging so much fun is that
blogging has opened up a whole new world of friends!

I appreciate you all!
I am grateful for the inspiration and friendship
you have brought to my life!
From my clean (ha,ha!) studio...
to yours....
Thank you for popping by!

Love seeing the progression of your quilts. Wonderful post.
Isn't it fun to look back on your 'growth'! and I'm not referring to our 'middles'! Love seeing what you have done in the past. You should consider having your blog put to print. Blog2Print is a great resource. I've had two separate years printed and love looking back on my life (so does my family!). Again congrats for all the 'posting'
