I usually have something to talk about – not today I guess. I can’t think of anything to write! Writer’s block? Or do you call it “Blogger’s block”?
I am working on the same things, appliqueing circles – up to about 80 complete. I have 100 4-patches done and set aside. I have the front and back of the sweater complete and almost done with the first sleeve. I worked on the Christmas quilt this morning and completed the stretch that I could reach and had to roll it several times so it is ready to start of a new stretch of work. It is progressing — but slowly. It is probably time for me to get all the batting out that I have and see if I can baste enough to use for the Baltimore Bliss quilt which has been sitting patiently aside waiting for me to get to it. I want to use up as much of my scrap batting as I can before I buy more. I have a feeling I have enough here to do one more quilt at least.
I am coming up to #500 post soon and when it gets there by the middle of January? I will have a give away. I will start to go through things and decide what to give and announce it then. Keep watching.
I’ll get my new camera out tomorrow and take some photo’s – I really need to practice and see what all is on this menu.

Gari that is almost 500 blog post. I have no idea how many quilts I have made
A blog post can take anywhere from a couple minutes to write up to an hour if I am editing a lot of photos to go with it.

Your scrappy circle and 4 patch quilts is going to be wonderful! I think the white really makes the other colors stand out. You’ve been busy as usual…I’m slogging through finishing the yo-yo quilt!
500 posts! Wow!

I seem to suffer from Blogger’s Block (love that term) a lot lately, but at least I’m getting some hand quilting done :0)

Oh Karen, 500, gee that is a big number. And so on it goes heh? I love blogging…even on a day when there isn’t much going on in my life, I feel the urge to tell my blogging friends.
I am getting organized to start making nine patch quilt also even though I thought I had done so many this past summer to do me a lifetime. But they do look good.
Happy new year…and by the way, even if you think it’s nothing…it’s made me happy to read about it…

Karen, Gosh 500 posts??? That’s seems like a lot to me especially since it takes away from your quilting time. Well, maybe that is a good thing. It gives your body some time to relax and reposition … so to speak. I am glad I found your blog. It has influenced me in a good way. Sometimes I need a boast or some inspiration to get back to sewing/quilting. Thanks for that! Can’t wait to see your soon-to-be sweater! Bet you could use it right now!
