On Thursday 10th August it will be ten years since I started this blog! I was just about to move house and go on my annual visit to the Festival of Quilts ( some things don't change , that's where I'll be on that date this year).
Appropriately enough that's also the day where I'll find out whether I've won Fine Art Quilt Masters,( unlikely given the calibre of the other competitors but being selected for the gallery is a fantastic honour in itself)
I don't blog as much as I| used to, especially now I have a smartphone and it's so easy to upload photos and a few words to Facebook, but I still like to use my blog to record my thoughts on courses I've been on and exhibitions visited , a 'reflective journal' .
I know a lot more people read this blog than comment so as is customary on these occasions I have a small giveaway to celebrate 10 years.
If you'd like to be in with a chance of winning a postcard sized 'textile sketch', a study for my FoQ entry, please leave a comment and I'll put your name in the hat. I look forward to hearing from you!
UPDATE:Thanks for all your kind comments,I WON!!! Still can't believe it.

Well, it would be rude not to leave a comment. More importantly - Happy Anniversary, it's been great fun being able to share your journey!
ReplyDeleteI always look forward to your blogs and have followed you for several years. I guess I'd better look for you on Facebook too! Thanks for giving a glimpse into your creativity.
ReplyDeleteI love your quilts, would like to take part in this and happy aniversary
ReplyDeleteBonjour,
ReplyDeleteJe poste jamais de commentaire car je n'écrit pas l'anglais mais je vous lis toujours avec plaisir grâce au traducteur de Google. En tout cas bravo pour vos travaux et belle visite du FOQ et j'attends un petit compte rendu car cette année je ne peux pas y aller.

i really enjoyed your blog and happy anniversary. This goes out as BWild, have been trying to change to Barb Hodkinson but don't seem to be able to do that.
ReplyDeleteI really appreciate the fact that you've kept posting to your blog. Facebook is so fleeting & is something I tend to scan quicky. Blogs however I settle in with, enjoying the more indepth commentary & insights. Would love to have your small piece to add to my collection.
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary. I too have enjoyed your blog for many years but never commented. Please carry on blogging! I like your work very much.
ReplyDeleteHuge congratulations on your quilt!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary too!

ReplyDeleteHappy blogversary, I have also followed your blog for many years and it has been quite inspieing to see the evolution of your work. Congratulations on the win, I love your winning quilt.
ReplyDeleteI read your blog every Sunday. It's how I start my day. I love your shibori pieces. My mother was a war bride and I love seeing your photos of the area and countryside.

Congratulations, Mags! A really worthy and interesting winner, sadly I wasn't at Festival this year to see it in situ, glad there's another chance at Alexandra Palace.
