2000 posts!
I don't know about you, but 2,000 seems like a big number. If it were in dollars, I'd be smiling pretty big, right? There you go--big! As it is, I'm smiling anyway. It seems this year will be a years of celebration. First, we've crossed the 300 mark for Pin It Weekly. As of today 2000+ posts. And later this year, we'll cross the ten year anniversary.
It feels rather surreal to have started out as just a way of dealing with the pain of my mom's death (oh, the posts I've written and never published, just for the sake of putting the words somewhere). And there was that idea of documenting my quilting journey, after having invested years in my hobby.
Thank you for sticking with me. Some followers have been here almost from the beginning, others have just begun, but you all are important to me. I appreciate every click, every read, every comment, every follow. And especially, every friendship we've cultivated along the way.

Retreat inspiration
My retreat sisters worked on a variety of quilts over the weekend. Oh my! What a beautiful array of works in progress. Here are the ones I was able to grab photos of before they were taken down to make room for more.

These four are to be part of a show at the State Arboretum not far from my house. They are made by members of the Contemporary Fiber Artists of Louisiana (CFAL).
Aren't they lovely? I don't have a favorite--they are all too different --but I'm guessing you might. Which is your fav?
Finally, yesterday Richard and I celebrated our 41st anniversary! What a wonderful life we have shared. I thank God for every moment.

Sunday Quilt Inspiration: Anniversary
Richard and I are celebrating our 40th anniversary today. We had the boys and their families over for a big Sunday lunch and then babysat Milly for a few minutes. All this to say I'm skipping today's post in lieu of the exhaustion. I'll catch you next Sunday.

Gosh it was hard to choose those pictures. Why does every baby picture have to be so stinkin' cute?
Vicki Allen has a great "For the Home" board that you'll probably love.

Pin It Weekly #202
Pin It WeEkly #202! the four year AnnIversary is only 6 weeks away! we're shooting for 25 pins a week until the anniversary! Stick with us and HAPPY WEEKLY.
Lili Collins is a follower who loves movies. How do I know? I've seen her Pinterest boards. My surprise! Of her 45-50 boards, all but about five are of particular movies. You really should see this. I spent too much time (of course) on her movie boards. Then I found this!


Lesa Bolman has 20,000 followers! Her board "That's Clever!" one reason why...

| Love these balloons with glow sticks inside. |

Karen Ristau has a board titled "Best Friends." How sweet is this?



Carolyn Phillips has lots of quilt boards--and I'm going back to check those out--but she also has an "Altered Books" board that I want to share with you.
