1. Annies Kitchen Garden- Annie’s Granny or Mrs. Lettuce as I refer to her always has great gardening tips that she is willing to share

2. Daphne’s Dandelions- Daphne is the host of harvest Monday’s and it is her posts that helped to start me on my gardening blog adventure.

5. The Gardener of Eden- Robin is the host of Thursdays Kitchen Cupboard and constantly fills my head with great recipes and how to grow a great garden

7. Buzzing and Bumbling- Linda has a great blog full of tips and easy to follow tutorials. She has a very creative mind.

8. Quilt times- Sue’s blog was the first quilting blog I found and started to follow. Through her kind words and encouragement I have found myself quilting more than I thought I ever would! She has a great book out called Pick Four. I flip through it at least once a day and have plans to start a quilt from her book this month!

9. Hazel’s Quilts- Hazel is a very talented quilter who takes you along on her quilt journey from start to finish. I also just found out she is garden too...what a perfect combo!

10. Quilting by the River- Connie is another talented lady whose projects never cease to amaze me. Her new quilting room is a dream come true for me!

11. Butterfly Quilting- Flo is the first quilter from Saskatchewan that I had found online. It is nice to see a talented quilter that is in the same province as me.

12. Sew Happy Geek- I just found Jenna’s blog late in 2011, but just in time to start her QAL. Her instructions are clear and easy for a newbie like me to follow. I am very grateful to her for teaching me so many new blocks!

13. Aunt Polly’s Porch- Polly’s blog is always full of the neatest creations and the cutest little dog name Yogi!

14. Quilt monster in my Closet- I found Christine’s blog in December when I was looking for a virtual bee to join. Her blog was the first one to show up in my Google search and I asked to join right away. Wonky is something that I can’t quite wrap my head around, but I am so happy she started this wonky bee.

15. Modern Balabusta- I just came across Lisa’s blog this year and it is full of very lovely blocks. I enjoy checking out her blog to see what she comes up with next.
