I want to give a BIG thank you to everyone who has been participating in this blog!!! : ) THANK YOU - for your interest, for your support and for the shout outs you've given Glorious Applique on your personal blogs. It is truly appreciated.
I have to admit how surprised, overwhelmed and delighted I am with the enthusiasm and buzz this little blog has caused. I think the subject matter, Kim McLean's designs, has something to do with that...!?!?!? And, having direct communication with Kim, Liza and others has been a real boon!!!
The caliber, experience, excitement and encouragement shared here continues to amaze me. I marvel at your posts, your photos, your progress, your knowledge, and your kindness. It is an honor to have each one of you participating in this blog and sharing your journey.
I must confess that it has been a challenge for me to keep up! Presently, my life is undergoing major changes. Nothing bad. But, my "free" time is quite limited. I do hope you can be patient with me? If I haven't answered a question regarding a post, or how to post, or why there are spaces where they weren't or shouldn't be, etc., it is simply because I can not. I do try to issue an invitation as quickly as I am able. I appreciate and understand how important it is to encourage and not frustrate. I too have been on the waiting end, and it's hard when you're SEW excited!!! As the only administrator for this blog, sometimes there is a wait for my response. I do apologize.
Meanwhile, there are a few outstanding GA blog invitations that have not yet been accepted, and we are nearing our author capacity. If your name is missing from the list of contributors, please advise me. If you have a personal blog that you would like added alongside your name, let me know. If anyone is wizard enough to create a Glorious Applique widget that can be shared, I'd LOVE to hear from you. Regarding labels and having ones work grouped together, I don't know how to do that nor the time to figure it out presently. Contributors are not listed alphabetically. Instead, they are listed in the order they joined - original first, newest last.
I appreciate your time and allowing me to do a bit of housekeeping. Thanks. Now, go SEW! ; )
Piecefully, Pam
You are awesome, Pam! What a wonderful, cool, inspiring thing you have done here!!! Thank YOU, so very much!!!

A big thank you to YOU, Pam! Glorious Applique is such a wonderful place and so inspiring. I have been amazed at the work others are doing and have learned so much from all the comments, suggestions and sharing of methods. Thank YOU so much for bringing us all together--it was a fabulous idea! (I hope you're able to find some extra free time to sew a bit yourself too!)
ReplyDeleteThank YOU, Pam:)

You're doing a wonderful job and the blog looks great too. We're all on board because we're sharing a passion. Thanks also to Kim and Liza for joining in and being so encouraging.
ReplyDeleteThis is my first post I found this blog by accident and am hooked. Pam its great you do a wonderful job. And even though I haven't posted a picture yet (raw beginner) at needleturn, I am working on the centre piece of "Hearts and Flowers" so when I figure out how to needleturn neatly will try and put a photo on like everyone else,
ReplyDeletePam your doing a great job, remember this blog is about Kim's designs and US the blog contributors interpretations of those patterns. Everyone understands you work on the administrative end when you can, considering you work full time and YES YOU NEED TIME TO SEW YOURSELF!!!! and adjust to your new home and location. PLease never feel like you have to apologize we all appreciate the work you put into making this blog come alive! Thanks for allowing us to follow others that are working on Kim's quilts its fun to see all the blocks and quilts made from her patterns.

Thankyou so much Pam for starting this blog..I wouldn't have started my blocks if it wasn't for the Inspiration from here...
ReplyDeleteHugs
Pam, I cant thank you enough for coming up with the idea of this blog. I love being a participant. Just seeing what other quilt makers are doing, reminds me to get back to sewing my Lolly blocks. I hope all the chaos in your life resolves soon and you can get back to sewing and sharing with us, your stitches.
ReplyDeleteBest,
Liza
Pam this blog so inspires me! It is keeping me on track and I do love everyone's helpful tips and encouragement. Thank you for starting this blog.
ReplyDeleteStarting this blog was a stroke of pure genius, Pam, and we owe it all to you! Little by little I have stopped looking at any other blogs except for now and then. My friend Lee even made GA the opening page on her computer! GA is a feast for the eyes, a never ending source of tips so generously shared, and an eye opener to the many ways to interpret Kim's patterns.
ReplyDeleteTake your time to do what you need to do. We will be here when you can get to us.
A big Thank You for starting this blog site !!! I just love seeing what everyone is doing all over the world...it is nice to see that there are so many of us sharing Kim's patterns.
ReplyDeleteIt is now the first web site I look at each day and night.
Get back to sewing soon.
Thank you Pam! Setting up a blog where we can share tips and ideas and gain inspiration was a wonderful idea. It's so nice to have this resource.
ReplyDeleteI think we're all very forgiving of any posts where the pics or the text don't show up where the poster thought they would? The important part is the sharing.
I hope things settle down for you a bit going forward. We want to see what you're up to, too! :)
Pam, for all you do...
ReplyDeletethank you, Thank You, THANK YOU!!!
You are sew appreciated :)
The blog is wonderful and fun, colorful and inspiring and I look forward to seeing everyone's progress each day. Thank you for creating it, taking care of it and sharing your enthusiasm with us. I'm so glad to be part of it. Wish you all the best with the changes in your life. You have brought a change to my life! Thank you.
ReplyDeletePam,
ReplyDeleteThank you for this blog and for all the time and effort you put into it. I'm inspired every time I come here and it keeps the mojo going.

Just as all the rest of the posts say... this is a fabulous blog with all the hints, suggestions, answers to questions, and yes, all the fabulous colors. Very inspiring to see how all the colors are going together to make awe-inspiring quilts. Even though I thought I would never be interested in Kaffe Fasset fabrics, they are wonderful in these quilts.. so Pam, do what you need to do and just check in on us as you can cause we are all still going to be here posting and working.
ReplyDeletePam, you've done a wonderful job and the blog is so inspiring! Helps me see outside the box of what I see on the pattern photo and it's fun to learn of everyone's different methods for applique! We understand as we all have lives behind our blogs.......!
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine anymore what life was like before you had this genius idea. It is true that having Liza and Kim on board adds too. I also follow other blogs hardly anymore, because I am always excited to continue sewing when i read this GA blog. It somehow makes me feel less alone with my passion.
ReplyDeleteAnd things will get done one day or another. We are patient, as long as we can sew and follow each others progress.
thank you so much Pam, this is such a wonderful idea, thank you for all of your hard work, it's so much fun to share and to see what everyone else is working on. If there's anything we can help you with, let us know.
ReplyDeleteYou are a star Pam, and without you we wouldn't have this blog. Thank you for all the time and effort you have already put into this blog and the time you will continue to do so. I totally understand being overwhelmed, I think deep down quilters are patient people, so be happy at the pace you need to go. Thank you also to Kim and Liza for the time and expertise they have invested into this wonderful blog. xo
ReplyDeletePam, I too thank you for starting this blog! I've enjoyed reading and seeing what everyone is doing with their quilts.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was away in Tokyo, I couldn't look in the internet to see this blog, I must say that I missed it very much.
Have been going through every entry and enjoyed catching up. Kim McL
