Grow Your Blog

 I'm Carla and am so happy to have you here. Thank you to Vicki at 2 Bags Full for helping us all Grow Our Blogs.

 

 Blog hops are a great way to be inspired and meet new blogging friends.   I am mostly a quilting blogger, but have been known to craft and also share recipes from time to time.

 

This quilt is Tropical Sunset and was made for the "Wake Up to Kona" blog hop.

 

You will find me trying to be a part of as many blog hops as possible.  In fact, one of my favorite places to hop is over at Sew We Quilt.  Madame Samm organizes 2 hops with different themes a month and everyone from beginner to veteran sewists can show projects and cheer on friends.

If you like ruffles, there is a blog hop beginning in March.
Sign up is going on now!
Get all the information to be a part of "Think Ruffles" HERE.

 

Peace and Harmony

 

Swaps, QAL, BOM, Linkys, and Hops.  It's fun to share.

 

Most of the things I participate in are on my side bar.

 

Projects for Season 4, Project Quilting.

 

Project Quilting is an event I enjoy at this time of year.  You have one week to make a quilt after the challenge is announced.  If you are interested in a fun quilting challenge, this one will make you think out of the box.  Season 5 is underway.

 

 

This is where my blog name came from - I'm always telling people that I live in the sticks. 

I actually live in the wild, wild west. 

Dodge City, Kansas

 

It's no so wild, anymore.

 

I'm one of THOSE bloggers that walks away feeling good about a post and then.... oh wait.  I wanted to say that.  I'm always adding and rewording.  lol

 

This is my family.  My daughter is getting married this year and I will have a lot of wedding posts to share.  She just let me know that the date has been set.

October 18th!!!

 

This is her modeling a pants bag my friend Jen over at Glinda Quilts made for her.   Jen is taking over the world by showering it with pants bags. 

I met Jen by blogging about quilting.  She is one of the most giving quilters I've met.

 

In fact, blogging has brought a lot of wonderful friendships my way.

I don't know why Blogger decided to send an email post written in November just today.  I apologize for sending my email followers old news.  I don't know if it was that delayed or if I pushed a button I shouldn't have...lol
