award
April 22, 2011
This beautiful quilt is Not mine. It was designed, sewed and quilted by Sherri Lynn Wood, a great artist, and I am very happy to share it with you.
A few days ago I had the surprise to be given an award by Sherri Lynn Wood. A “Gorgeous Blogger’s” award ! How touched and honored I feel !
To me, Sherri Lynn’s magnificent quilts suggest “freedom” in her choice of colours, patterns and general design. I love the way she creates movement in them. A colourful dance. Sherri Lynn also does Craft Therapy and developed the “Passage Quilting” (for the bereavement process); something I have started to do in memory of my own mother who loved sewing so much. Visiting Sherri’s blog is an encouragement in many ways in one’s life. Thanks again for the award and for all you share with many.
Here is a link to Sherri Lynn’s creative and inspirational blog that I always visit with much pleasure.

In receiving this award I was asked to answer a few questions :
When did you start your blog ?
January 2009
What do you write about ?
I write mainly about my interests and passions : nature, reading, quilting, photography, travels. I enjoy posting pictures of my area, moments of my day and thoughts. Just sharing life.
What makes this special ?
What has been and still is special about blogging are the contacts that are created with other bloggers. The pleasure I feel in connecting and sharing with friends and visitors; their comments are always a bonus to the initial post I write and I would like to thank all of them here.
What made you start writing ?
Simply the love of writing. I always seem to write either for me (journal), for others, to penfriends or for causes I have been engaged in. Hardly a day passes without me sending a card or a snail mail letter. Writing this blog is a different experience; it is also a way to keep in touch with the English language since I am French speaking.
What would you change in your blog ?
The appearance maybe ? As I am not a good technician, I like the simplicity of this particular blog though. I am happy when I notice that some of the bloggers who started visiting me are creating links with some of my contacts. This I would never want to change 🙂 Connections and communication are the path to a better understanding between us.
I have met many “Gorgeous Bloggers” since I started this blog and there are many more I am not aware of. It is a very difficult choice to name only five blogs for this award. Anyway here are some I just love visiting :
