Is anyone still there???


"In Full Bloom"
Sewing Pocket and Pinkeep
for Dyeing to Stitch Quaint Country Ladies Club

Is anyone still there to read this?
Gosh it has been a month since I posted!
I have been doing a lot of traveling this summer and now am in catch up mode both at work and at home. I have been posting on Instagram almost daily. Do people still read and follow blogs? I miss my blog, but Instagram is quick and easy. I have also been having troubles getting photos from my phone to my blog. I'm debating what to do...


I had a finish on Labor Day!
As you can see, I stitched this in 2018 - as soon as the kit arrived, but I did not fully finish. 
I guess that I can count this as a Stitch From My Stash completion!


I love the lining fabric on the sewing pocket!


And on the back of the pinkeep as well!

I do have a few things that I simply must share before I decide whether to continue my blog or not.
So if you are still out there, please stay tuned!!! I will be back soon!

This is what the Lord says—
    your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel:
“I am the Lord your God,
    who teaches you what is best for you,
    who directs you in the way you should go.
~Isaiah 48:17

Blessings, Patti

  6. I miss blogging and the lovely stories people would tell. I guess we are all just too busy anymore to bother. I think about going back to it occasionally. It was quite cathartic.
    I absolutely love your finish. It’s pretty and perfect in every way!

  11. Darling project. It’s hard to keep up with social media and blogging. Personally think the details in a blog post are more enjoyable!

  14. Yes, we do. Please continue to blog. Not all of us are on instagram. Blogging is about telling your story. That's what connects people to you. We love to hear other people's stores.

  19. I faithfully check your blog almost daily. I enjoy your work, your mom's work, and the Scripture at the end of your post. I also follow you on Instagram (am I a stalker?!). And I will always appreciate a blog WITH NO ADS. Keep up the good work.

  21. Oh, I hope you continue blogging. I'm not on Instagram or FB. So many good blogs have called it quits in the past couple years. It's like loosing a friend. There is a comfort in sitting and reading a post much like letters were once read.
    I love you needle book and pin keep. What a perfect combination of fabric and stitchery.

  22. I love blogs, pictures with comments and stories. I find IG just pictures and few words not as satisfying. I miss all the wonderful blogs I used to read. I hope you keep yours going.

  32. I like viewing photos on Instagram, but reading the limited post is not the same as enjoying a blog post with more photos and conversation. Sort of like getting a blank note card that is signed, compared to getting a Hallmark card with a lovely sentiment.

  33. I still read blogs....though I have been lagging with updating my own...what makes blogging fun is interacting with those that leave comments...and a lot of times folks don't leave comments...maybe it's because they can't decide what to say? I know sometimes the only comment I ever leave is "Beautiful quilt (stitches, rug, etc)"! lol! I thought about joining instagram...but, I don't really enjoy "speaking emoji" either... ?

  37. I dislike social media sites and love to read blogs. I don't think people are busier now than five-ten years ago but I do think they make themselves believe they are. Mostly the social media sites give people the instant reward or ego stroke with very little real actual interaction in my opinion. Its all very superficial. I have enjoyed reading your blog for years but it is understandable if it is no longer your desire to continue blogging.
