Where has the month gone?

I am shocked that I just realized I haven't posted for a month.  I have written posts in my head but never got to the 'new post' page to actually publish my thoughts.  Does anyone else do that?  June has been a busy month with lots of family things and some construction on my house.  The contruction project was to take two weeks and let's just say, I hope it is done by the 4th of July.

Here is what my sewing room looks like right now.  It is awaiting new windows.  I cleared it out in May thinking the windows would be replaced in a couple days.

And here is how my bedroom looks.  I can't find anything when I try to sew.  It's a mess.  And yes, that is a quilt on my design wall!  I am trying to sew, at least.

Liebster Blog

A while back I was awarded the Liebster Award by Sheila at Sew Cook and Travel.  Sheila is the nicest person with lots of great inspiration.  I didn't post the award icon on my blog and I didn't pay it forward.  Today I was awarded the Liebster Award for a second time by Jen over at Quilter's Daughter.  Jen too is an amazing person and an inspiration as well.  I am really happy and honored to have made these two friends in blogland...one on the East coast and one on the West coast with me in the middle.  This is one of the best parts of blogging...finding friends you never would have found without blogland.  Win, win, win!  And now I 'get it' about paying it forward.  So here I go!

Liebster means Dearest in German and the award is a 'share the love arrangement' that is given to inspirational bloggers with less than 200 followers. There is a list of things that recipients are required to do upon receiving the award.

• Thank the person who presented you with the award on your blog.
• Link back to the blogger who gave you the award.
• Copy and paste the award on your blog
• Present the Liebster Award to 5 other bloggers with less than 200 followers.
• Let them know you've chosen them by leaving a comment on their blog.

So here are my choices for the Liebster Award.  They are people who have inspired me to be a better quilter and friend.

Mary at Spoolhardy Girl

Karen at Sunburnt Quilts

Ann at straythreads

Lindsay at Modern Amish

Meaghan at Made by Meaghan

Thanks for all the inspiration you've sent my way!
