Hi Karen -

You should be able to comment on my blog anonymously. When I bring up the blog, below the comment box there is a "Comment as:" selection. I think if you choose "Anonymous" then you don't have to have an account anywhere. Do you see that when you go to the blog?

I'd love it if you started a blog, too!

Karen,
I think you can post as anonymous if you don't have a gmail account. Just be sure to sign enough of your 'name' so friends will know it's you.

I might have to think about starting a blog. Terry and Wendy and Nancy I tried to comment on your blogs but I don,t think it worked. Do I have to have gmail so I can have a Google account to post a comment?

Karen I'd read it. I found it really easy using the wordpress free one.

Karen,
I too have missed checking in with people via the blogs. I always enjoyed reading about your projects and family. I hope you will begin your own blog and post notification here when you update it. I'm not computer savvy; but, have managed to do some editing on my blog template and added a button to follow via e-mail. I figure if I can manage it, the process really is doable!!! Thank you for providing a comment here!

I sure miss keeping up with all our friends so the email reminder on you guys' new blogs is a good idea. There is no way I would go to each profile to see if the person has a blog and track it down!
I don't have a blog because I don't know who would read it. The one here seemed like just talking to friends and sharing life. A REAL blog seems so official and like I'd have to have something actually sewn or important to write.
Thanks for the blog and email notification links you guys are posting so I can catch up with old friends again!

I miss the blogs. Thanks for posting your blog links.

Thanks ive subscribed ok. I'll have a go at putting batting together I usually just lay it together on the backing. It'll be much easier to use pre prepared than fiddling around trying to get bits that match. I don't throw any away I even use more than one bit for a postcard

Wendy, I've added a follow by e-mail link so you should be able to follow me that way. As to why you can't post a comment, I don't know. . .unless you need a gmail address. The batting is 80/20 and I used a wide and long zig zag stitch. Thanks for checking out my blog!

Terry's blog is at

PS. Any web address will show up in a different color than the rest of your message, if written in the format needed to become a link.

Terry I can't post comments on your blog but I'll persist and work out why.

Love your pieced batting what stitch did you use?

Perhaps we should start a thread just with blog addresses and have the discussion part about them here? I've enjoyed reading other blogs as well. You can read them when you want, not like Facebook where you think you'll read a post later then it's lost among stuff.

Yes Nancy I envisaged it as a diary of quilting. Someone posted that the TQS blogs were their record and was upset the record was gone.

Lois you made me chuckle when you said 'in the junk box'. I've never looked in my junk box I wonder what gems are there?

There are some interesting bits of Belper. Thanks Luann I'll take my camera down and share them.

Wendy, feel free to post as often as you want! Bonnie Hunter posts an average of twice a day; Sue Garman posts once a month, Mary Corbet posts once a day so there is a real variety out there. My goal is to post once a week or at least four times a month.

By the way, my latest post is
here ! I blogged about how I clean up after a project.

Or the web address is:terryknott.blogspot.com/2015/08/clean-up.html]

I LOVE how much discussion we've had regarding the blogs; but, better yet, I am reading some new to me bloggers! Thank you to those who have shared their blog
