10 year blogiversary & giveaway!
I can’t believe that today is my 10 year blogiversary! I never imagined The Crafty Quilter would grow from a little space to share my ideas on the internet to a large online community of quilters and creatives. I am so grateful to you all for following me on this adventure. I think this calls for a celebration, and what better way to celebrate than with a giveaway! UPDATE: This giveaway is now CLOSED.
I hate picking just one winner, so there are actually TWO giveaways! I’ve created a special bundle of goodies for Giveaway #1 that include A Quilting Life Monthly Planner, a charm pack of Heirloom fabric by Alexia Abegg for Ruby Star Society, a Postcard Project kit by Jen Kingwell, Bobbin Clips from Purple Hobbies and a Frixion Pen. There are so many fun things in this bundle that you can use in your sewing room!
The second giveaway is a Chenille-It Box. This is a subscription box that I received in December. It includes a Wonky Zig Zag Quilt pattern, 1/4 yard bundle of Petal Power by Me & My Sisters Design for Moda Fabric, a 3/8″ roll of Chenille-It, and a 5/8″ roll of Chenille-It. I know you’re wondering what Chenille-It is. It’s basically blooming bias that is used to add texture and design to a quilt. I can’t wait to try it!
Giveaway Info
GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED. To enter the giveaway, please leave a comment telling me how long (if any) you’ve been following my blog. Not that it really matters, I’m just glad you’re here! This giveaway is open to US residents only due to shipping costs. I’m so sorry about that, but I will giveaway a free pdf pattern if a winner is chosen outside of the US. You have until 11:59 pm PST on Saturday, February 5, 2022 to leave a comment to enter. The winners will be selected at random.
NOTE: To leave a comment, make sure to scroll down to the bottom of this blog post (NOT from my home page), and look for the rectangle that says “Enter your comment here”. Please be sure that I can contact you immediately through your email. If I choose your name but cannot contact you immediately, I will choose another winner.
Here are the giveaway rules:

Due to the high volume of comments, I won’t be able to reply to you (unless there is a direct question), but I will read each and every one. Thank you in advance for your participation and for leaving a comment.
I’ll have to do another blog post with a “now and then” theme (because things have changed a lot in 10 years!) If you want to see my very first tutorial, check out my Heart Sachet Tutorial from February 2012. It’s definitely not my best work, but it’s relevant for this time of year and it shows how my photography (and content) has improved.
I’ve recently launched a newsletter and I would love it if you would sign up to receive it; I share more quilt-y news and bonus content there. Plus it’s a little less frequent than my blog posts, so I won’t fill up your inbox too much!

Happy Blogiversary!!! Know we love you and so full of gratitude for the joy you bring us every day!!’
Love you to the moon and back!!!

I have been following you for several years – not sure how many. I too love hearts and have a stash of heart fabric that I am still trying to decide how to use in what quilt? I love your blog. i signed up for your newsletter, as well.
Hi Julie, congratulations on ten years! I’ve been following you for about two years. You were so helpful when I was making my first quilt for my granddaughter. That was when I discovered your blog and have enjoyed reading it and learning from you. Thank you!
I can’t remember–years and years. I’m very glad I do!
I love, love, love your blog. I have been with you for a year and just wish I had the time to make everything that you share. I did make my five granddaughters the origami bags that you posted in November. They were so much fun to make. My husband had open heart surgery last April, so I made him your recent heart pattern as a mug rug. I alternated the fabrics in different solid colors and the black heart beat fabric. I hope that you will keep your bog forever. I enjoy reading about your family. God Bless
Julie, I’m not sure, but atleast 5 years. Congratulations on your 10-years in! I’m glad to follow you!
I’ve been following your blog for several years. I like all the ideas you share.
Can’t remember! Think it was just after I binge watched your tutorials on A to Z for Ewe and Me, then recognized your name on a quilt class sample at The Granary. I must have said your name out loud in recognition and up you popped from behind the register!
It has been such fun following your blog and seeing you periodically at the Granary. Having relatives in Austin too also a fun connection.
Best wishes for another 10 yrs!

I just discovered you recently. I was looking for a tutorial on making mitered corners on quilt binding. Yours was clear and easy to follow.
Hi Julie I am a newbie! Thank you for your Blog! I look forward to jumping in and getting caught up on the past 10 years.
Gosh, I’ve been following your blog for at least 7 years! Fantastic!
I have been a follower for a few years now. I honestly can’t remember! LOL Thank you for the opportunity to win! 🙂
Happy Blogiversary, Julie!!!! I don’t remember how long I’ve been following you, but it’s been several years. At least back to the year you did the finishes, probably earlier. Ten years is a big milestone!
Dear Julie, your blog is my favorite! I started following you with the TQS BOM 2014 by Janet Stone. Your tutorials were my entrance to my biggest quilt adventure ever! It is still waiting for most of the quilting, but I love it every time I take it out to work on. Your monthly Sew Thankful Sunday is a great idea and a permanent source of inspiration. Thank you, Elfie from Germany
Just found your sight and what a pleasant surprise. I am fairly new to quilting but love it. Love the patterns you have and expect to purchase one soon. Congratulations on your 10 years
Hi Julie, I don’t know how long I’ve been following you. But I learned a lot from your emails and creativity. You are really talented. Congratulations on the 10th anniversary and hope you have many more 10’s.
Love your Blog! I have been getting it for about a year now.
Not sure if you received my previous comment. Thanks
Have only followed your blog about two months, but love your patterns.
Happy blogiversary! Ten years is a marvelous achievement.
I just barely found your site today. I am a longarm quilter — I don’t piece tops. But I was searching in the Internet to see what the best starch was for quilting (to give to a friend) and stumbled upon your site. I know what I’m going to be doing for the next few hours — reading your blog posts!!!!
I have been enjoying your blog for a year now. I think I found you originally on someone else’s post last February that linked back to your graduated hearts. Happy Blogaversary!
Hi Julie, I think it has been about a year or more that I have been following you.
I’m so happy that I looked back in my computer and I found that I signed up for your blog Nov. 4, 2014. I am quite sure that I looked at it before that. I was surprised a few weeks ago to see the Season Reflections quilt and the pattern posted. I had copied the photo of it when you showed it a few years ago.I just thought the colors just blended so wonderfully and I kept it as an example. Now I can make it! Your blog was just as refreshing at the beginning as it is now. It’s always a day brightener to hear from you!
Congratulations on blogging for ten years. I have been following you for a little over a year. You have fresh ideas. I like that. Keep it up girl
Congratulations on your 10 years of blogging. I have followed your blog for years and think I began in 2013. My local quilt shop owner had made a kit using your pattern and I bought the kit and went to see your blog to get started on it. I have made a couple of them since and also have followed your blog all that time. Thanks for sharing all you do and I love your new pattern.
Julie, congratulations on 10 years! I have been following you for probably 3 years or so. I so appreciate your shared experiences and tips. Your work is always so precise and beautiful.
Hi, Julie! I have been following you for about 5 years, I think…hard to be certain…one of my favorite features is your Sew Thankful listings. You give me great ideas and inspirations, plus I like following along with the family photos!
Congratulations on the blogiversary! I’ve been enjoying your blog for years. I think I found you through one of Jacquelynne Steves’ block of the month programs. Regardless, I always enjoy your blog. Thank you!
Hi Julie! I am a new follower and just Fell in Love with your Valentine’s Day projects. They are so sweet and you made it so difficult to chose which one I wanted to make first! Thank you for your generous giving of time and talent! Happy Valentine’s day!
Hi Julie, I found you on Pinterest in January 2022. I’m brand new to quilting and sewing but love your patterns, tips and tutorials. Congratulations on your 10 year anniversary!
Hi Julie. I have been with you since the beginning and have enjoyed every post! Looking forward to many, many more. Thank you for your inspirations.
Hello! I have been following your blog for about 4 years. I just love all your patterns and quilts. Your work is beautiful. Thank you for sharing the free patterns and tutorials. I have made the Patchwork Peter Rabbit wall hanging. Turned out so cute. Congratulations on 10 years!
Hi Julie, You mentioned that as we age we lose track of time. That’s certainly the case with me trying to remember how long I’ve been enjoying your posts! For sure it has been more than two years because I began before Covid (my new benchmark). Regardless of how long, it has been such fun! Thanks for sharing your creativity ideas. Love your posts!
I have been subscribing since you spoke at my local guild. I think about 4 years ago. It may have been longer. I enjoy your newsletter!
Hi, I’ve been following you for about 2 years. My quilting friend referred me. Your blog isn’t overwhelming and I enjoy that. Thank you and happy blogaversary.
Hi Julie!! I have followed your blog for at least 5 years, maybe 6. I Discovered you from one of your free tutorials that was posted somewhere else. I instantly loved your blog and have been a follower since! I recently signed up for your newsletter. Thanks for sharing your talents with us.
Hi Julie, Congrats on 10 years! As far as I can tell I’ve been following you for at least 8 years and I’m looking forward to many more!
Love your blog! Lots of fun patterns and tips! I’ve been following you for 4 years.
Hi Julie. I am not sure how long I’ve been following you. I have really enjoyed reading your posts. I’ve made a few of your projects and would love to make more. Unfortunately, my UFO pile is so large that I’m trying to whittle away at it. I’ve been quilting since 1984! Thanks for sponsoring a give away.
Congrats on 10 years–awesome accomplishment. I have been following your blog for about 8 years.
I have been following your blog for about a year and a half. I have really enjoyed and appreciated your blog and instructions for quilting. You do a wonderful job. Thanks, Kathy R.
Hi Julie-congratulations on your anniversary!! I have been following you for a few years and really appreciate you sharing your talent, tips and tricks with us. I have learned so much from you. Here’s to another 10 years!!
I only found your blog today and. I have already signed up.Love your posts.You make me want to quilt more.
Congratulations on your blogiversary! Looking back in my saved patterns, I think I have been following you since March of 2020. But I also found that I have some 2016 videos of your binding tips on The Quilt Show.
I’ve been following you for the last couple years. You always share such fun projects.
Congratulations on your Big Anniversary . . . I honestly don’t think I can say how long I’ve been following you, but I have definitely enjoyed the journey !
Must be since 2019. I looked in my Save Folder and found all the “Disappearing Nine Patch” emails there! Thanks for all the effort you put into this.
Hi Julie. I think I have been following for about two years. Love your blog and all the nice links you share for free projects/patterns.
I wish I could remember how long I’ve been following your blog. Must be 7-8 years, at the very least. I had been following about 50-60 blogs (I know, WAY too many!). So about 3 years ago, I decided to trim my list. Of course, yours had to make the cut!
It seems like forever, but I would have to say no more than 5 years, since I just got back into quilting then. Congrats on 10 years!
I’ve been following for a few years (I think). And I look forward to the newsletters in my email.
Congratulations on 10 years, Julie! I have been following your blog for about 7 years. I have sewn a couple of your tutorials: Cookie Plate Crumb Catcher and Reading Pillow. I enjoy them both. I signed up for your new newsletter now. Thank you!
Hi Julie! I’ve been following you for a few years and I love your “down to earth” manner and how pictures you post remind me of when we lived in CA. Your projects are inspiring and realistic. Would love to experiment with chenille. Stay healthy and keep quilting!
I first met you in Livermore about 5-8 years ago and have followed you ever since. Love to see you different projects and your family! I always look forward to Monday morning to read your post while having my coffee.
Wow, I don’t even remembered how long i have been following you. It must be 5 years ago when I started to learn how to quilt. Congratulations!!!! Your blog had help and is still helping to quilt.
I can’t remember how I found you or how long it has been, at least several years, but I always enjoy it and love seeing how your grandkids have grown.
I’ve been following for probably 5 years. I really enjoy your mix of more than just quilting and am so amazed at all you do. thanks.
I have been reading your blogs for at least 5 years. I love not only your blog but your teaching demonstrations as well
Hi, Julie. I’ve been a follower of your blog for nearly all 10 years. I have tried several of your patterns and have learned some great stuff! Not only are your projects pretty, they are things that are actually doable, especially with your clear instructions and accompanying pictures. I like your family-loving, down-to-earth approach. Thank you!
I have been watching/reading your blog for several years. I have been inspired by you to try new techniques. Thank you for all the work you put in to this blog to share your knowledge.
I’m going to guess 3-4 years. I was in the market for a new machine and found your blog about how to choose a machine. I was also considering the BabyLock Crescendo and your comments were very helpful to me. That led to following you and seeing what a talented quilter you are. You always inspire me!
Hi Julie, I have been with you for about three years. My best friend forward the blog to me and it has been with me since. Wonderful following you through covid as a companion to the days spent in my quilt room. Thank you for your projects and friendly posts. Linda
Hi Julie
I just “found” you and your blog. The blog is amazing. There are so many ideas and information. Thanks for sharing.
Dianne
Congratulations! I first subscribed May 13, 2020. I wish I had found you sooner! I look forward to your emails! You have many useful tips and I’ve used several of your patterns.
Congratulations and happy 10th anniversary! Looking at your older posts, there are so many that I remember so I might have been following/reading you for at least 8 or 9 years. It seems like I heard about you from The Quilt Show. I’m still with you but am no longer interested in TQS. I want to do or try most of what you show us, not so with TQS. Thank you so much for the many hours of delight you have given me. I’ve learned so much from you, bless you!
I wish I could remember how I first found your blog, but sure enjoy reading now for almost 3 years. It’s inspirational and positive. Thanks Julie.
I’ve been following for three years and just love your creativity
Hi Julie, I has been a constant reader for about three years. Before that I would read occasionally. Sometimes, I had to pull myself away from the computer to make quilts! But yours is an always read!!!!
I’ve been following you on Feedly for a few years. Liked your tutorials on The Quilt Show and enjoy reading your blog.

Hi Julie! I can’t remember exactly when I started following your blog (4 or5 years, maybe) but I can tell you I have
made a number of your smaller projects. And I love them all. Thank you for the inspiration and motivation!

Wow Julie! Congrats! I’m not sure how long I have been following you, but I love checking in to see what you’ve been up to. I’m a guild president in Pa and I like to share the great content that you have.
Congratulations on your 10th anniversary! I honestly don’t know when I started following you. I have been quilting for 30+ years so I want to say I have been with you from the beginning. I love your tutorials. They are very well done and thorough. I have learned a great deal from you over the years. Keep up the great work!
Congratulations on your anniversary for your wonderful blog, Julie! I started following you in your early days !
Hi Julie, I think that I have been following you for about four years. Many thanks to my special CVQA friend, Sandy Cole, who was instrumental in having you as a guest speaker at a Guild meeting one August in Franklin, TN. (I am not quite sure of the year.) It has been my pleasure following you since that time. In retrospect, I should have connected with you sooner, when I was a fellow-resident of CA . Many thanks for all that you do for the Quilting Community .
Hi – I think I’ve been following your blog/newsletter for about 5 or so years, ever since I got a couple kits or patterns of yours.
Wow! 10 years! Congratulations! I’ve been following you for about 2 years now and very much enjoying your blogs! Looking forward to the next 10!
I have been following your blog for about 4 years. A friend shared it with me and I have loved the different
projects. One of my favorites was the lama warmer. I made it for my granddaughter for her birthday. I think
her mom uses it more. Love the pictures of your travels as well. Congratulations!
Not totally sure how long but before your first grandchild was born
Congratulations on 10 years of blogging. I’ve been following your creative input for four or five years. Thanks for your inspiration.

Julie, I wish I could tell you how many years exactly that I have been reading your blog, but those sorts of data just don’t make the file. However, I know it has been a long time and I’ve enjoyed it all. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and inspiration. Reading your post is a bright spot in my day.
Love your blog and website and ideas and have been followng you for about a year.
I first found you on The Quilt Show, my guess would be about eight years ago. I enjoyed the things you shared on there, and I still use your method of finishing the binding on my quilts. Thank you for what you have shared. You have good ideas and an excellent eye for color. Congratulations on your 10th anniversary!
I have been following you for at least 8 years. I have always enjoyed your content. Keep up the good work and here’s to another 10 years.

Hi – I just started following your blog this year. Love your blog and tutorials. Thank you.
Happy blogiversary! I don’t remember how long I have been following you, but probably after I found your face mask pattern.

Congratulations to you and Mr Crafty Quilter on your 10 yr blog anniversary. I have been following you for about 3 yrs. I enjoy your enthusiasm for quilting and family! I am especially thankful for the connection these past 2yrs. during the pandemic when we were unable to meet with local quilters and even family members. You have helped keep my interest in quilting alive. I have enjoyed watching you progress from small projects into larger quilt design.
Your instructions are clear and photos well done. It is nice to see how life goes on in Southern, CA as we are home bound during a cold Eastern, WA winter day!
I’ve been quilting for 5 years now so I would say I’ve followed you for about 2 years now. Happy Bloguversary!
3 wonderful years

I’ve been following and enjoying Julie’s blog for many years, probably at least 10 years. I still have the saved picture from her post of the JOY wall hanging that I fell in love with, so much that our local guild asked Julie to come to Tennessee to speak about Christmas projects and teach the JOY workshop!

I’m always looking for new techniques and skills to add to my belt – and have enjoyed loads of your posts! Happy blogiversary!
Not sure when I signed up but it must be three or four years by now. I really enjoy your blogs because I liked your hints so much from TQS. I made Janet Stone’s ABC for Ewe and Me and
won best of show with it at the Indiana State Fair.

Hi Julie, it seems I’ve been enjoying your blog for at least a couple of years. You have some great tutorials and I love the fabrics that you use to create the projects. I’m sure I’ve done two or three. Hope I’m lucky enough to win one of the prizes! Keep writing your blog……..
Congratulations. I can’t remember how long I’ve been following you, maybe five years, always enjoy your comments and remember specially the ones you made re the frixion pen which saved me much embarassment. I had to send a quilt to a cousin in Scotland (from Argentina) can you imagine her horror if she had opened the packet and seen all my scribbles prior to my free motion!!!! I put my intended gift in the freezer and yes, all the marks were there. Hence I quickly made her a lap quilt with chalk markings which would disappear, so thanks to your article, I only use frixion on gifts that will not travel by air!
I’ve been reading this blog for at least 3 years and have done several of your sew alongs. Thanks for all you do.
Very nice site….haven’t seen it before
Hi, you blog site is really nice. I don’t think I have ever had an invitation before to look at your site.

You told me you had just started a blog which I have enjoyed following ever since. Your aim was to get 500 followers….how many have you now? Congratulations on the 10 years.. can’t believe it’s gone so quickly and thankyou for all your tips, patterns and research you do for your followers

Hi Julie; I have been following you for about 5 years. I love the ideas and the links you share. I particularly love your fresh and sunny colors and simple patterns. I also enjoy your family notes as I have grand daughters about the same age. Hope to follow you for another ten years!
I have been following you for about 5 years and I enjoy your posts about quilting and other things.
I’ve only been reading your blog for a month! Can’t believe I have missed out on 10 years!
Probably at least 6 or 7 years ago. My daughter went into a quilt store where they had packaged the fabrics for one of your patterns. But I had to go online to download your free Christmas table runner that was checkered and had holly cut out on each end. I have since made 4 of those – 1 for Christmas for my daughter, 1 valentine, 1 St. Patrick, and 1 4th of July for me using the same pattern but with different rick racks on the end. I LOVE that pattern.
Thanks for all your great patterns. I even bought the valentine quilt pattern when I visited the store you work at about 3 years ago. Unfortunately, you had just left the store by the time I got up enough courage to talk to you.
I have been reading your blog for about 8 years – I love your patterns and the colors you use.
I’ve been reading for about a year!
Love your site & blog!
Congratulations on 10 years. Thanks for these wonderful give a ways. I have been sewing since I was six and quilting since I was 25. Oh I am now 63, I really dont know how long I have been following you. At least a couple of years.
I’ve been following your blog for 3-4 years. I love reading your recommendations when you want to pay it forward, and have subscribed to other bloggers as a result of your posts. It’s wonderful to see your grandchildren growing, and enjoy pictures of your family and quilts.
Love reading your blog posts in my email—- always happy and interesting! Congratulations on ten years
I’ve been following you for about 5years
Not sure how long I’ve been following your blog but it has been at least several years
I honestly don’t know how long. I’m sorry. My brain has a hard time with this type of question due to Parkinson’s. I know it has been since at least Mother’s Day 2021 but think it is longer. I just am not sure.
Hi Julie. I’ve been following you since June 19, 2013. I still have the email confirming my subscription!! Love your blog. Thank you for all the great tips and advice. I look forward to the next 10 years!!
Congrats on 10 years! Not sure how long I’ve been following you but it has been several years. I always find something interesting and inspiring! Thank you!
I have followed you for years. I was lucky to meet you at quilt Con in Pasadena
Hi, Julie! I’ve been following you for 5 to 7 years. I enjoy your articles about quilting, your family–esp. the grands, and your travels. I love your patterns and fabric choices. I saw many of your shows from the Quilt Show during the pandemic. You are an excellent teacher! I am a retired teacher of reading, dyslexia, coaching new teachers, and staff development. Sending good wishes from Maryland!
Hi Julie, I don’t know if I have been following you for your full 10 years but it’s pretty close. I’ve made a few of your patterns, my favourites being Patchwork Peter Rabbit, Woven Heart Block (which I made into a valentine’s table run) and Nordic Star (which I made into placemats). Your Maple Pecan granola is a favourite of mine and my two children and their families. I’ve enjoyed your Sunday Pay it Forward and always found something I could save for future use. Thanks for sharing your talents with us and best of luck as you embark on your next 10 years as The Crafty Quilter.
ps: I live in Canada but have a US address if I am lucky enough to win one of your giveaways.
I found your blog some time last year and enjoy it very much. Your posts are very inspiring.

I think I only started reading/following you about 6-8 months ago.
Hi Julie,

Congratulations Julie! It is not easy to continue for 10 years!! Thank you so much! I followed your blog since I started to take your beginners quilt class at granary… I looked up and it was January 2013:). So I have been following 9 years!! When I moved out of state, your blog brought me bright sun shine from California:). Also it helped me to keep me up during covid and I made three quilts done, out of two are made from your class:). Thank you so much for sharing us joy of quilts, crafts and more in life!! Happy 10 blogiversary!!
I have been with you forever. Love your patterns.

I know I have been following your blog at least a year. Time flies. I love your blog
Two years at least! Thanks and congrats!

I love your blog always encouraging me to do better.
I have probably been following you for about 4 years, maybe longer. The pandemic has made my time perception worse. I do enjoy keeping up with you. Looking forward to another in-person class one of these days

My childhood friend told me about you and your blog several years ago. I love receiving your emails and I’ve been a fan ever since.
Hi Julie, I have been following you for 4 plus years. I love your outlook on life and your projects!
Hi Julie. Yes I really have become addicted to quilting mostly smaller things. You actually inspired me early on about 2 years ago with your smaller mug rug and lap quilts. It has grown from there and I’ve embarked on my longest and most difficult quilt so far. My youngest son and girlfriend took a 5 month trip around the uS for enjoyment and to choose a new home,leaving from their home in Charleston going west and stopping to visit family and friends. They have a roof nest on top if his Subaru and about the time they got to Kansas to see his brother my husband said, you should make a quilt of their travels. So I began in earnest. Embroidering each map state they went thru using instagram pictures to highlight their favorite actives. Each map is 8×8 and after embroidering I’ve attached it to an 11×11 light blue. I’ve finished 16 states to date and have about 10 more. Thankfully every state wasn’t choked full of activities like California and all the western states. Their goal was to visit as many national park as possible and when finished after visiting northwest and Chicago they chose Chicago to make their move. My goal is to finish by Easter. And take it to them. Thank you again for helping me thru your cool creative ideas to then come up with my own and make this quilt. I’ll send you some photos.
Hi Julie, I don’t remember how long I have been following but I do know I have enjoyed all that you have shared! Thank you for keeping us entertained!
Hi Julie, I know I have thoroughly enjoyed all of your ideas for at least 5 years. You are so kind to share all of these things and I am most grateful. I look forward to your weekly blog. You’re the best. Hugs, Kay Parch
I don’t remember how long I have followed your blog, but it’s been quite awhile. I get some ideas which I may or may not ever get done. Thanks for all you do. Grace
Hello, Julie! I have subscribed to your blog for about 3 years. I love it and I get a happy look on my face when I see it hit my inbox! I read all of them and even save them in a folder so I can go back and catch up on things you have written about that I didn’t have time to try when I first read about them. You might like to know that you are the one and only quilting blog I subscribe to. I’ve read others from time to time but yours is the one that inspires me the most! I hope you are making it through this leg of the pandemic and the cold, cold weather we’ve had of late. I live in Michigan and, believe me, I am counting on spring already! Thanks for all you do to educate me and fill me with ideas. Have a wonderful day!
Sarah
Hi Julie, I’ve been following your blog and loving it for about six years now…just about as long as I’ve been quilting. Your tips and tutorials have helped me out more times than I can count. I was also fortunate enough to be able to enroll in your Zoom “possibilities” class last autumn, which was a lot of fun! I finished that quilt in time to send it off as a Christmas gift. It was a treat to take one of your classes, usually out of range for me here in NM. Congratulations and thanks for all your help and inspiration!
I can’t remember exactly how many years I have been following your blogs, but I would say between 3-5 years. However long it has been, I always look forward to the next one.
I can’t say for sure, but it’s been a long time. If you’ve been online for 10 years, I’d say it’s close to 8 or 9 years. I was very active in quilting then. I still have a pile of fabric, but at age 90 I’m slow with everything now. I still read your blogs.
I have been following your blog for several years, maybe the whole time. I have always loved your Thankful Sunday collection of other ideas on quilting sites. It has always be important to me to look over all you send because I enjoy your taste in projects. Congratulations on these 10 years and pray for many more years to enjoy our blog.
I’ve been reading your blog for 3-4 years. Congratulations!
I’ve been enjoying your blog for a couple years now. Very helpful information, and I love your seasonal recommendations from such a wide variety of designers. Thank you!
Hi Julie,
I’ve been enjoying your blog for about 5 years and it’s time to thank you for all the patterns, quilt tips and evaluations of products. Hope you’ll still be doing it 10 years from now. Gail
I been following you about 2 years.

I don’t know how long exactly but I think at least 5 years. I’ve gotten several great projects from your blogs. Thank you.
Hi Julie, I’m not sure I’ve been following you for your full 10 years but pretty close. I’ve made so many of your patterns – Patchwork Peter Rabbit, Woven Heart block (of which I made a table runner) and Nordic Table runner (which I made placemats) are among my favourites. And, your Maple Pecan Granola is so good I make a batch every few weeks to share between myself and my two grown children and their families. I enjoyed reading your “Pay it Forward” Sunday newsletter; there was always something I kept from them. Thank you for sharing your talents with the quilting/crafting community. Keep up your wonderful work. I look forward to reading your newsletter for many years.
I have followed you for about 5 years! Love your posts.
Hi Julie, I don’t need a giveaway, just emailing to thank you! I really enjoy your blog, and I’ve made/adapted some of your patterns and ideas. I also took a class from you on ruler quilting some years ago as well. Thank you!

Posting a second time because it says unknown or deleted user????
I’ve been following for a number of years. Don’t know how many, but enough that when I saw you at PIQF a number of years ago, I recognized you! Love your use of color, which is what initially drew me to your posts. As someone who is into intense color it has taken me a number of years to incorporate enough lights to be happy with the finished quilt. Linda Brewer
