So I have decided to be different and celebrate my 175th posting - and here it is.
What better way to celebrate than with a few (a very few!) of the photos I have posted on this blog from November 2006 to December 2007.
Firstly some of the vessels I have created:
Followed by a few of the journals:
And finally just a small amount of the many, many close up photographs I have taken.
It also seems to be the norm to have a giveaway on a blogiversary and this one is no different :)This is what I have been working on recently. Its not finished yet - I still have the backing and the hanging tabs to put on, hence the wonky photo, but I have made a pledge that I will blog at least once a week on a Sunday so I will show this painted quilt at the stage it is at the moment.
So if you fancy giving a good home to this quilt, just leave a comment - even if you don't normally do so, the more the merrier - and in a week or so I will get one of the hunky lads at work (well, the other one anyway) to draw the name of the lucky winner.The first half of 2008 has been fantastic for me and there's even more to come, so this is just my small way of saying thank you for all the support, encouragement and kind words I have been given since starting this blog, and for the cynics amongst you, yes, an oversized carrot to make sure you keep tuning in. *LOL*

I too would like to 'grasp the carrot' with both hands (sorry if that sounds rude!) and be included in the grand draw.
love Jan x
Congrats Lynda on 175 posts each one of them were so inspiring and I would also love to be in the draw for the quilt but maybe that's being greedy after the last lot of "stuff" that you sent me.
How about sending me the Hunk who draws the prize instead.
Congrats on your posting milestone - I am always so inspired by your work! It's very cool to see some of it all together here.
I've always been inspired by your work and this weeks blog is just brilliant. Please enter me in your draw - I look forward to many more gorgeous creations
Been reading your blog for yonks, always inspired, never bored. I think I may have met you via the real world - in Harlow maybe? Were you one of Jane and Jane's students?
Congratulations on your 175th! You do such wonderful work and it will be great to get a weekly update. The quilt is lovely and the I love all the vessels together.
Hi Lynda - Congrats. on your 175th blogging. You posted this blog at 12.30ish I see and tis not 4.30 yet, and ten people have left messages already!! What are you trying to do.... overload the system! Look forward to getting together every Sunday. Val
Congratulations on your blogiversary! Your work is always so interesting -- in a good way, of course ;)
I'm totally inspired by your creations and just love those vessels. If you ever decide to cross the water to NI you will have to give a class. Thanks too for offering a prize for your 175th post - easy t o pass by when you are having fun.
I can only echo the sentiments of what has already been said and I'll fight Doreen over the hunk.
gosh!! you've just made me check my stats..My first proper post was July last year..253 posts later I suspect I'm an addict and need to find more time for stitch. Thank you for the inspiration over the last year or so :)
Please put me in the hat, too!
Your blog is magic. It was you, Dale, Sue K and Margaret R who started me blogging and what a joy it is. Clive says I'm not allowed to go for the hunk - only just managed to talk him into the kitten!
Lynda your work is so inspiring. I often wonder how the heck did you think of that? What a lovely summary of your work. Blog land wouldn't be the same without you.
I'd love to be in your raffle.
Joanna

Hi Lynda,
I found your post on alternative rust dyeing very interesting and just recommended it in a QuiltUniversity.com dyeing class I'm taking (in response to someone asking about rust dyeing).
I would love to be entered into the drawing for your beautiful quilt; the colors would go so well in my sewing studio!!
Thanks for your wonderful blog!
