5 Wonderful Blogging Years!

my very first post - Feb 6, 2008


On this day, five years ago, I made my first post on my blog, Scrapmaster. After re-reading my first post, I think I have kept on with "The Grand Plan", and then some!     I was brand new to computers at the time.  I have learned so much since then.  The quilty inspiration  in blogland is endless.  Sometimes, just overwhelming! I just do the best I can and try to put my personality into every quilt I make. 

The whole cloth quilt on the bed in the photo was my first finish since starting my blog. It is called "Welsh Beauty". I started the handquilting it in 2005 and finished it  Feb 24 of 2008.  The photo is not good.  Wish I could get a better shot of it.   I used a shade of a darker  taupe  handquilting thread so the handquilting shows up very well in person.  
The quilt hanging behind the bed is also handquilted by me,  mid-2011.
I love to wake in the morning surrounded by my quilts. Hanging a quilt behind the bed was Retired Hub's idea.    There are actually 3 quilts on my bed during the winter months.  Soooo cozy and warm.
