Grow Your Blog Event My Story

First of all many thanks to 2 Bags Full for hosting this event.  You can find her button on my side bar.
2 Bags Full
I'm Sherry and I will be leading the way around my blog.  I love anything quilting! I have been quilting for 33 years now and have taught, lectured and judged quilts through the years and am now happy to teach quilting in my home for free.  My students and I have a fun relaxed time where they strive to improve their skills, but no quilt police here.
I am married to the love of my life and soul mate who is my biggest supporter and cheerleader.  He has even been known to say "Whats this, could you use it?" about something we see on visiting quilt shops and shows.  Although he is still puzzled as to why I need to buy yards and yards of fabric I don't seem to use.  In my defense I do use it, you just can't tell it.
I started my blog January 1, 2013 as a way to document my progress on my cancer quilt.  I haven't made much progress yet but I will give you a tour of a few of the projects I have blogged about.

I LOVE to make Baltimore Album

I write tutorials....

I am particularly fond of machine quilting

This is an anniversary quilt for a friend

My Quilter's Guild Challenge this past year was great fun.  This is Queenie!

Blog Hops are great fun.  This is Hey Santa Please Stop Here for the Ho Ho Ho Blog Hop.
 I blogged about making the barn for my Cancer Quilt but have now decided it isn't going to work so will be making another when I find other fabrics.

And lastly I am doing a Row Along for my students and am blogging the step by step process on making the row.  This will be blogged about the 20th of each month for 6 months.

Well that's it...my journey in quiltmaking .  Thanks so much for stopping.

    I too like Baltimore albums and have my first in the works. It's been shelved for a while, but I plan on pulling it back out after I get a couple of other projects out of the way. I'm looking forward to following!

    Hi Sherry,
    I promised to pop over so here I am all the way from Cardiff, Wales. I have been blown away with the skills that people exhibit on their blogs. Your quilting is really special and shows what a long way I have to go. I would be really thrilled to be following you and hope to pick up lots of tips and advice along the way.
    I hope you enjoy what you see on my blog too!

    Hi Sherry, thank you for stopping by my blog, peddlerjo.blogspot.com (Easy Street Ramblings). I'm slowly making my way around the GYB party blogs. I'm so excited about your blog. I've only been quilting for 4 years so I will be back often :) What type of longarm do you have? I have been quilting on a Baby Lock Crown Jewel at a LQS. If we ever get our other home improvement project done and get to the basement I will finally have a spot for one of my own. I love to machine quilt. Thank you again and looking forward to reading your blog.
