Grow Your Blog

I'm joining the party. Thank you 2 bags full for the opportunity to meet other like minded crafters who have like minded blogs and want the number of followers to grow.
 
My name is Rae, I am turning the big 5 0 this year and finally have the time to do what I adore doing which is embroidery particularly and also to quilt. Historical embroidery has become my passion since discovering 17th century caskets and the Thistle Threads - Cabinet of Curiosities course and not to mention all those reproduction samplers out there from the likes of The Essamplaire and Scarlet Letter.
 
I started to blog when I found myself getting so darned excited about discovering the amazing resources and needlework networks there are online that I wanted to share my achievements. Even if no one was discovering my blog I find it a great tool to motivate me week to week and to see that you really do make progress on your projects even though it might not feel like it. It has become an online diary of sorts for me and rather than random musings of my life I do tend to focus on the craft.
 
I hope you enjoy my blog as I will reading others and thank you for the opportunity too join this network.
 
I am of course a relative newbie to blogging as only stated May 2013 and am still learning a lot.

    Hello, Raewyn. I'm Angie - one of Vicki's GYB volunteers. Welcome to the party! Your needlework is wonderful. I used to do a lot, but now quilting has taken over my life. You live where I have always wanted to visit - NZ - how lucky you are. Thanks for participating in Grow your Blog 2014.
