Modern quilt teacher and patterns
The world is all a flutter today, as Instagram and Facebook are having major outages and glitches. How are we supposed to procrastinate now?! I imagine everyone’s Screen Time reports will be markedly lower today, ha. I discovered this problem when I complained to my husband that I couldn’t upload a picture to Instagram. Being an avid reader of the… Read More
Today is the first, quarterly link up to share your progress for the Modern HST Sampler QAL. So to ease some concerns, I wanted to share with you how you can link up to an inLinkz linky party. And what is inLinkz? That’s the site I use to set up the linky. There’s a couple of different sites out there… Read More
On April 30, I decided to do an experiment for my blog to find out just how many people clicked through from Instagram. Why? Because there’s no way to track click-throughs from the blog link in your profile. Instead, it just gets lumped in to the social media referral category in general.

Do you have the TimeHop app? I loving having a peek back through time each day to see what happened in our family’s life over the past few years, not to mention finding little surprises like the fact that April 22 was my fifth anniversary of blogging!

In the lead up to this series, I knew that it was important to hear from some businesses themselves about their side of this blog sponsorship equation. Why they sponsor blogs and sewing events, how they choose blogs, what do they expect in return for their investment, why it is valuable for everyone involved. My very first sponsor was the… Read More
It’s no secret that I love blogging. I love telling the stories, I love reading other peoples’ stories. I love learning and engaging and interacting. I love the ability and potential of blogs to help with the “business of quilting”. But blogging takes time, and money. Last year, I moved to WordPress to get access to better blogging tools to… Read More
This month sees the return of a new Saturday-ly blogging series, talking about the ever hot-topic of blog sponsorship. There are those who do it, those who want to do it, those who are confused by it and, in all honesty, those who hate it. A complete spectrum of responses and actions, and you know what? That’s ok! That’s what… Read More
As many of you will know, I love playing around with my blog. As my husband knows, it’s usually after about a year of the same, I feel the urge to change things up!
