My 2013 blog book came this week. It seems to get a bit bigger and more expensive every year as I do more posts, but well worth every cent, and a fantastic keepsake of the year.
Some more tea towelling also arrived in the post from Pieces to Treasure........to make matching placemats for my Bordeaux Berries runner. The placemats will just be plain, not sure how the appliqué would hold up to regular use.
The boys went back to school.......three at high school now (how did that happen?).
I've been doing more painting, it's the hallway this time. Not a great deal of sewing happening, just a few more orange peel blocks and an afternoon of prepping Irish Circles blocks.
Happy stitching.

What a wonderful keepsake of your blog Susan... and I know that there are many wonderful images & posts within its pages!
ReplyDeleteBest of luck to your sons for their year and what a terrible thing for your furbaby - aren't people so annoying when they don't contain their dogs and they end up harming another dog or a person?!
Irish Circles is continuing to look amazing, well done x
I must organise one of those books, I keep assuming all my blog records will be in cyberspace forever, but I guess nothing is for ever! So nice that your youngest has moved up to secondary school, I hope that all goes well for him. Love the orange peel, blocks, gorgeous fabrics as per usual! Good luck with the painting!
ReplyDeleteI live your cover picture for your blog book. The orange peel blocks look great and it love what I can see of the Irish circles. Your boys look happy going back to school enjoy a bit of me time :-)
ReplyDeleteSusan, I love your work. Is always wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI have a logbook too from the last year. The next I will order end of februar.
Greetings Grit

ReplyDeleteWhat fun to get your blog book and your boys are growing up very fast Susan,Sounds like you have been very busy.xx
ReplyDeleteHow fabulous to have a blog book
ReplyDeleteIts a beautiful picture of your boys . You must be proud of them.
ReplyDeleteI mean to get a blog book every year but never do. So good to keep a record of your quilting and other things. Love your blocks. The years just fly by. My eldest will be 44 this year. Now that is scary. Hugs....
ReplyDeleteThis is the first that I've heard of a blog book - mind filling me in? Gorgeous project, by the way, and 3 very handsome young men in your household.
ReplyDeleteLove your sewing, blog book looks great, nice looking men you have there...
ReplyDeleteI haven't ordered my blog book yet, but will...I love having them. Your boys are growing up! Love the OP blocks!
ReplyDeleteLove the sound of the blog book - yours would be fabulous to flick through! Gorgeous boys. Your stitching looks beautiful - great colours and fabrics in that lot!
ReplyDeleteYour OP blocks look great. Where did you get your blog book published?
ReplyDeleteA blog book sounds like a great way to store those blog memories. Hope your boys enjoy high school.
ReplyDeletelovely to see your hexie bag gracing the front cover of your blog book.
ReplyDeleteThe boys look so handsome ready for the first day at school. A big milestone.
Love the fabrics in your orange peel blocks they look great and the colours for your irish circle blocks look great too. Are you finding making the choices a bit easier?

We forget when we blog how many pages we end up with but they are a Great Thing to hand Down...love your cover photo.
ReplyDeleteLovely Orange Peels.
Catching up and am sorry to hear about your pup's bad encounter. We have had dogs for over 40 years and the irresponsibility of some owners continues to amaze me. Especially when the other dog is large and agressive. One of our shelties was hit hard by another big dog and the fright has remained. How clever to have a blog book - did not know that was an option. With all your wonderful descriptions and images, it is sure to be a gem!! Wishing your handsome young men a great school year!
ReplyDeleteI recently published my first two years of blogging in books... I didn't know anything about them until I read another blogger who captures her blog in a book every year. So happy I did!
ReplyDeleteThose are some mighty handsome chaps you have...
Love your scrappy orange peels... so colorful!
I just received my book too last week and think it's worth every cent too! Time goes so quickly when they're all at school doesn't it! The colours are so lovely in your Irish Ciecles!
ReplyDeleteThree in high school, wow where has the time gone. The Blog book is a great idea. I've been meaning to start gtting mine printed then promptly forget :( hugs
ReplyDeleteGreat photo of your handsome boys! And your Irish Circle blocks are looking lovely.
ReplyDeleteLovely stitching, will look forward to follow your blog.
