Grow Your Blog

2 Bags Full

If this is your first visit...WELCOME!
If you've been here before...WELCOME BACK!

This is a great opportunity to find new blogs and be inspired!
A special thanks goes to Vicki from 2 Bags Full who is hosting this amazing party.
Be sure to check out her blog for the list of bloggers participating.

So who am I and what to I do on my blog?

Well.....

My name is Carol and I blog here at Just Let Me Quilt.


My blog name came about because I worked full-time,
took care of an elderly lady, had a busy life as a mom and grandma,
and all I wanted to do was have more time to quilt.
I'm retired now, so I finally have more time to play with my sewing machine...yay!

A few things I love:

Quilting and sewing

Blog hopping with Madame Samm at sewwequilt.com

Snuggling with my Monkey Boys (grandsons)

Playing with my two dogs

Working on my family history

Writing and answering emails

I'm so glad you stopped by!
In fact, I'm so happy you're here that I'm having a...

GIVEAWAY!
One charm pack and one yard of Moda's Surrounded by Love fabric.


The rules...
  1. Leave a two word comment...short and sweet works for me!
  2. It can be mailed anywhere...yes, even to the other side of the world.
  3. Since this about growing our blogs, becoming a Follower would be sweet.
  4. Giveaway ends at 5 p.m. PST on February 15th. Entries after 5 p.m. PST on February 15th will not be included in the giveaway.
  5. THIS IS IMPORTANT: If you aren't sure whether or not you are a no reply blogger, LEAVE ME AN EMAIL ADDRESS...pretty please! You can't win if I can't contact you!
