(A little peek through to the meadow from the wooded area in our local park. Thank you Julie (Forest Poppy) to inspire me to get out this morning! )
A new blog! YAY! I am excited !! Are you?
I hope you are.. To my dear old friends who have found me here, lovely to see you again! To my lovely new readers who are yet to get to know me; thank you for visiting my blog and I hope you will follow me (press the ‘follow me’ button) and come back and share my quilting journey.
I loved my old blog (www.adventuresinquiltingandsailing.blogspot.com), but it ran away with me a bit… I followed so many people I could not keep track… Then Google Reader went and in spite of having a try with blog lovin’ I seem to have lost half my list. That will just not do! So… rather than trying to delete and tidy (last time I tried that I lost my entire list!), I will keep my old blog as archive and start anew! Sort of like having a full ring binder in the cupboard and starting a fresh one for the new year.
I am excited to share lots with you that I have not yet blogged about. The times I had a blog post in my head but not written it… countless! Some of you know my mum has not been well, but luckily she is a little better now and so I have some more time to come back to blogging and sewing.
I am looking forward to sharing my sewing journey with you all and show you all I am making and hopefull have for sale in my online shop in a few months time (baby steps… new blog first!).
You will all have to bear with me as wordpress is slightly different from blogger and I am basically a non techie. Drama when I have to change my phone! But I will share all that also… if you will have me…
More to follow soon
Lovely to see you! If you want, please leave a comment, I love to hear from my readers and especially now I have my new blog, it will be fab to reconnect/get to know you!

Yo buddy! Great new start!! Looking forward to the “new’ you!!:)
xo
Thanks Dee, looking forward to sharing loads of posts on various things.. stay tuned!
Good to see you up and running, and I for one look forward to seeing you blogging again
Thanks Jo! Glad to see you too. The follow button is on the right hand bottom. It’s grey with a cross, click it and fill out your email 🙂
Great to see you back in blogger land – can’t wait to see what you create (or have been creating)
Thanks Ethne, will be great to be back! Am doing a fab quilt at the moment, more of that in a later post!
Ooh, new blog, well done, I will look forward to seeing what you are getting up to. Maria x
Nice to hear from you Maria! Lots of news, will get round to it bit by bit! great to have made a start!
welcome back Marg! Love your new header and background and looking forward to seeing lots more lovely photos soon 🙂
Thanks Jo! Lovely photos as of old in the future too, will do my best!
I have now gone through the ‘share’ thing, but still can’t find the ‘follow you’ ….sure we will get there in the end.
They must be teething troubles Jo… I have approved and replied to your previous comment. No grey box with ‘follow’ and a cross in the right bottom hand corner? Click on it and it asks your email? We WILL sort this!!
Great new blog Marguerite! xo
Thank you Cathy, really looking forward to reconnecting with everyone! some things (like sidebar) still need adding but I will get there. Step by step. Learning all the way. Lovely to hear from you!
You got so excited about your new blog…. you forgot to send the link!!
It’s always so inspiring to begin something “anew.” Welcome back!
Hiya Cathie! I know!!! But I sent the link straight after in a follow up mail.. hope you got it?
Oh well, at least I can comment now, and I will add you to my list that I follow.
I know I won’t lose you Jo, you are one of my all time followers! Hope we will manage for you to follow via wordpress though as I would like to get to grips with all the new wordpress tools..
Love the new blog. Sometimes a change is needed.
Hi Shevvy! I think you are right, new wind and all that. Really excited to continue and share lots I haven’t been blogging about yet!
Well done with an all new start.
Don’t be(come) digiphobic! (in Dutch: digibeet = someone afraid of new technology) Is there such a word in English? Digilliterate?
You’re doning fine!
doing
I’m going to persevere Betty! Just warning it might not all go smoothly to start with 🙂 speaking from experience!
Well hello again! Love the look of your new blog and can’t wait to catch up with your quilting projects! I’m ending my “summer blahs” lull and hope to start fresh with a bunch of new projects as soon as it cools down just a bit more. You’ve inspired me to get working so I can update my blog too.
Brilliant! We all inspire each other Molly, that’s what it’s all about! 🙂 Lots more to come!
Looking good Marg! Happy new blog day 🙂
Thanks Leila, looking forward to learning more and adding bits!
Hi Marguerite! I love the new blog (was there a reason you chose WordPress over Blogger?) and can’t wait to see what you do here. I’ll be following you on Feedly (just so you know that I’m around). I’ve missed you and was just thinking about you the other day. Every time I see the little red heart you sent me, I think about all the nice emails we’ve shared in the past. Hope all is well with you (and your mom). Take care, Terri
Hi Terri, missed you too but that’s how it goes, hope to be blogging and following more regularly now. I chose WordPress partly because I have heard there are more possibilites in customizing and adding things. Certainly a bit different from Blogger and still feeling my way !
Hi! Good to hear from you!! All the best with your new blog! (I didn’t post ALL SUMMER on mine…too much real life goodness and computer issues on top of that!) 😀
Hope your computer issues get resolved Stephanie, lovely to hear from you! Get blogging as well and we’ll get back in touch!
Good to hear from you Marguerite and I certainly look forward to seeing your creations…
Good luck for the new blog, which I havd not been able to open this time ; I am sure it will easier next time.
Till then
A
Thanks Annie, I will mail you with the link, maybe that will go through better xx
Congrats on the fresh start!
Thanks John, was great to see this summer!
Hoi lieve Marguerite, gefeliciteerd met je nieuwe blog! Ik hou je in de gaten! 😉 Veel liefs, El
Thanks Elham! More to come… xx
So happy to be here and catching up again!
Yay Dana! It’s been too long! Thanks for your comment and stopping by 🙂
Wooo Hoooo….it sure is pretty! Thanks for the heads up!
Smiles,
Kelly
Hey Kelly! Thanks for stopping by and do come back! Lots of posts to come, nice to hear from you!
Yeah! the follow button is now on my screen, so I am proud to be following
So glad it decided to make an appearance Jo ! It certainly has something to do with things are set up, either at your end or at mine, as the emails I get announcing you have posted a comment also look different from everybody elses. And with others I have to press ‘approved’ first, but with yours it seems that just opening the email approves it… very strange… but… for now it is solved! One day I will stumble across the answer on my quest to learn to use wordpress! 🙂 Important thing is you know where I am and are getting updates, we are connected!!!
Hi Marg…I’ve added you to my list…nice to see you back 🙂
Angela
Hi Angela, nice to see you here too! thanks for commenting and looking forward to seeing more of everybody again!
Good morning, love the new look….
See you in a very few weeks..
xxx
Thanks Liz, see you very soon! Exciting!
Hi Marguerite, glad to see you all inspired to start blogging again and on a fresh new blog too. I think you are being very brave starting on a new platform, hope you find it as easy as blogger.
I’m still trying to find the motivation to start blogging regularly again. I think I’m just out of the habit somehow. Maybe you can inspire me.
Hi Catherine, YES !!! start again! Molly also wants to get back into it so we can all support each other! I have been doing bits and pieces I haven’t blogged about yet and will shortly. It will be so nice to all reconnect !! Will write soon (late here now… ) 🙂
Your blog is already so beautiful!
Thank you Ayumi! that means a lot coming from you who makes such beautiful things!
New “year” new blog! :o) (I always think of September as the new year :o) I’ve made the switch in my reader (I like Feedly) and look forward to seeing what comes next on your new blog.
Hi Jane! New Year indeed! 🙂 and lots to catch up on… the amount of posts I have written in my head but never made it to the actual blog… Lovely to hear from you!
Hi, Marguerite. Nothing like a fresh start to put things into high gear–looks great! Looking forward to seeing your new adventures.
best, nadia
Hi Nadia, I agree, just love fresh starts and I needed one! Thanks for your compliment!
So good to hear from you! I’m looking forward to your new blog posts!
Yay, I was so pleased to see that you got out for your walk that morning! And that you decided just to go for it with the blog – good luck with getting to know wordpress and I’ll look forward to reading lots more posts. Juliex
