A Giveaway and a Forgotten Finish

** The giveaway is closed, and the winner is #25, lalaluu. Congratulations! **

Hello and welcome to the 100th post here on From Bolt to Beauty. I want to thank you for reading my musings on all things sewing and quilting. You’ve enriched my hobby by the encouragement, insights, and friendship you’ve offered me in this space. If I had known blogging would be so much fun, I would have started doing it years ago.

My friends and family would also like to thank you. Because you and I can talk about scant quarter-inch seams and single-fold bindings, my husband doesn’t have to hear about them. Because you sympathize when I scorch a project or miscut some fabric, my friends don’t have to feign interest. Because you care to read my posts, my family members don’t have to pretend that they do. (Mom, you are exempt from this judgment. I know that you really do read my posts!)

I think giveaways are crazy fun, so to celebrate the milestone of my 100th post, I’m giving away this fat-quarter bundle of Carolyn Friedlander’s cross-hatch fabrics (17 FQs in all).


This giveaway is open to anyone anywhere in the world. Everyone gets one chance. For that chance, you need to follow me. Please leave a comment, indicating how you keep tabs on me—whether it’s Bloglovin’, Feedly, RSS, Instagram (@frombolttobeauty), stalking me at guild meetings, etc. (Please don’t say that you follow me on Facebook—I’m not on Facebook!) If you’re feeling chatty, you can also share with everyone how writing a blog or reading blogs has influenced your own sewing or quilting.

 This giveaway is open through Friday, September 11, at 8 p.m. Eastern Time. I will email the winner and announce his or her name on this post.

Heads up: I noticed a bunch of no-reply bloggers leaving comments. If you’re a no-reply blogger, please leave your email address so I can notify you if you win. Thanks!

And because no blog post is complete without some pretty project pictures, here is a tote I made as an extra for the Lizzy House mini-quilt swap but forgot to post. I used Alicia Paulson’s Jane Market Bag pattern (for the, like, 30th time) ...

Mmmm ... pretty bag with hedge hogs.

Thanks again for reading. Good luck!

Linking up to Let’s Bee Social, Needle and Thread Thursday, TGIFF, and Finish It Up Friday ...

    I've added you to my Bloglovin' list. Those fabrics really are nice. What a great gift you are sharing. I've been blogging for 8+ years. (How did that much time pass so fast?) I have found some wonderful friends through blogging. I know if I had a chance to meet them in person we would be great quilting buddies.

    Hi Michelle, I follow you on Bloglovin. Congrats on the 100th post milestone! I actually just finished my hundredth post yesterday. I started to blog a year ago as a way to talk about and sharing my quilting and sewing as I missed the bi-weekly talks with my Mom who has passed away. I think she would think it was a real hoot that you can share your projects worldwide by blogging. She loved to go to area meetings and share her latest and greatest machine embroidered projects.Thank you for sharing your lovely quilts and the most generous fabric giveaway.

    Look at you all fabulous and stuff! I love blogging for all of the same reasons. Since I have very few IRL friends who are as obsessed with fabric the way I am, it helps to have online friends who relate! The very first time I met one in person, I kept feeling like I needed to apologize for gushing on and on about how much I loved a certain fabric line until I remembered who I was talking to and the fact that they were just as obsessed! It was glorious. So bravo for anniversaries, and bravo for blogging being a healthy pursuit.

    I follow you on IG AND through blogger's reader because you deserve double following love. :)

    I follow you on Bloglovin and my Blogger dashboard. I'll catch you whenever you post, somehow! I just found quilting blogs in the last year to year and a half. It's been very inspiring, quilting-wise and otherwise. Everyone has a compelling story, a reason why they're on this crazy ride, and triumphs, mistakes, and loss along the way. The blogverse is my day-to-day pick-me-up and quick fix (especially on work days!) on everything quilty. On the flipside, I started a blog last fall, and I've gained insight on what an effort it can be sometimes to not only post but also have pictures - and in focus, well-compositioned ones too boot - and engage the audience (especially when there's NOT a giveaway ;) ). Kudos to you for 100 posts and best wishes for the next 100!

Anyway I like blogging and have done so for about 8 years now I think, it works as a craft diary thing for me, keeps me focused on goals and it's good for looking back at how rubbish I was when I started which is very encouraging :D

    Michelle, I'm with you on Bloglovin. Just the sight of fabric collections inspires me to pull those one or two special patterns from my archives and make a garment, a bag or table topper.
    Lately I'm not making quilts, just feeling like I want to finish what I start so I do small projects like bags and runners. You know what I mean:) Thank you for sharing and congrats on #100.

I love blogs just because I appreciate all quilts and the stories/personalities behind them. For myself, blogging helps me document my quilting journey and probably also keeps me working at a project so I have something to share each week.

A lot of my inspiration for and knowledge about quilting and bag making comes from reading blogs. So thanks for everything!

    Does Following on Flickr count? I tried to follow you on blogger, but it won't let me add your blog to my list--I guess I'm following too many blogs. That's confusing though because when I add blogs from the blog it doesn't give me any grief. Anyway, I want to I just can't figure it out. Your bag is darling!

    I follow on Bloglovin. I've learned so much from blogs. I'm a fairly new quilter. I'd call myself intermediate though. I've learned all the basics of quilting and tips and tricks through blogs. I'm very appreciative of other quilters that share their talents. Thank you for the chance to win!

    Congratulations on No 100. I follow you on Bloglovin. I started a blog early this year - mostly to catalogue my finishes and to enter Quilt Alongs. So far that is all I have done with it, but it is there if and when I decide to build it up.

    I found you from Crazy Mom link ups and follow you on Instagram! Thanks for the change. I've been reading blogs for many, many years... and reading tutorials on blogs is what made me feel confident I could become a quilter to begin with.
