Spooktacular Halloween!
Enjoy some spooky sounds for your celebration!
Happy 4th of July
For those of you who celebrate, Happy Fourth of July! For those of you who do not celebrate, have a great day.
For the first time that I can remember it does not feel good to post this sentiment. My wish for this 4th (although it is not a gift giving holiday) is that we return to kindness, civility and working together to make a better future for our children.
Happy New Year!
Best wishes for a wonderful New Year!
I hope you find everything you are seeking and relish it with gratitude.
Thank you for reading!,
Jaye
Merry Christmas!
Have a wonderful holiday or a great day, if you do not celebrate.
Happy Thanksgiving
I hope all of you who are celebrating Thanksgiving have a wonderful day and those of you who aren’t have a wonderful day as well! One thing for which I am grateful are you, my dear readers. Thank you!
Happy Fourth of July
For those of you who celebrate, Happy Fourth of July!

Merry Christmas
or if you don’t celebrate: best wishes for peace, love and a great day!
Half Holiday / Half Sewing
We did something different this year. We used a quilt for a tree skirt. I think it looks nice with the gifts wrapped in gift bags.
I made a tree skirt out of felt soon after I got my first tree. It has been looking ratty for a few years, but it looked embarrassing last year. I didn’t make a tree skirt, though I have a pattern. Perhaps next year, now that the Thanksgiving tablerunners are done?
Thankfulness
For those of you who celebrate Thanksgiving, I wish you all the best for a lovely holiday. For those of you who are going about your normal business, I wish you a lovely day as well.
I am thankful for all of you who read this.
Best Wishes for July 4th
For those of you not in the US, I hope you have a GREAT day!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Hope you have a day filled family and gratitude!
10 Years of Artquiltmaker Blog
Yes, today is my 10 year Blogiversary. Appropriately I am at a Quilt Retreat. I’ll pick up any gifts when I return. 😉
Have you been with me the whole time?
I started Artquiltmaker Blog because I had hit a big milestone and I wanted to start something new and send my life in a new direction and practice writing. My first post was not stellar. I remember being distinctly uncomfortable and not knowing what to write. I got better though and even later in May 2005, I was posting real content. Short, not every day, but real content.
At the end of 2008 I moved the blog over to WordPress.
In 2008 and 2009, I started trying to post every day. I worked my way up to posting on that schedule, which I do now except in extraordinary circumstances. Life happens sometimes.
Somewhere in there, I did the Block-a-Long, which was fun, but not very popular. I am also doing the Creative Prompt Project, which will be ending when I get to #365. I still have to think of something special for that one! Having a once a week post that I don’t have to think up helps a lot in getting something posted every day.
This forum has helped me to move forward in my work. I have enjoyed seeing comments from people, getting to different quiltmakers via Instagram and Twitter and even meeting a few in person.
I really enjoyed looking through the photos below to pick the ones I wanted to add to the gallery of the last 10 years worth of my work. I was pleased to add a few pre-blog photos, so you get more of an idea of my work during my quiltmaking career.
I don’t know what the future holds. I don’t know if I will continue to post every day or if I will start posting twice a day. As long as I enjoy the process and contribute to the quiltmaking community I will continue. Thank you for enjoying the ride along with me.
Regards,
Jaye
