    You know I'm a fan! Thanks for bringing your special sparkle into the quilting blogosphere. I hope you get to return to your Juki soon, and I'm sure she misses you as much as you miss her. Thanks, Molli!

  6. Jane says:

    Congrats on your milestone! And that fabric is seriously too gorgeous!

  7. Lynda says:

    when I need to be creative, I pick up a pen and/or pencil and start drawing on anything at hand – one of my best drawings is on a brown paper bag – I was at the airport on a 2 hour delay – surprising how many people will watch you draw – some day I will find a use for that drawing – or my kids will find it and wonder as they toss it aside – such is life.

    I just rewatched Lost in Translation last night, by coincidence. Such a tender movie. If only they'd had quilting to comfort them – could have produced one hell of a quilt. Congrats to you – you deserve it as you clearly put a lot of thought into your blog. Mel. melanie99[at]gmail.com

    Enjoy your blog…did you ever blogged a review on the Juki? I am thinking of getting one…

  18. A hundred thousand. What a fantastic achievement. Here's to a hundred thousand more.

  19. Julie says:

    Fun fabric. I liked your poem and congrats on the sparkly milestone!

  20. charlotte says:

    Wow! I am so impressed with your abilities. I could never write poetry. That is really cool. It has been my experience that so very many creative quilters are also creative in other ways as well. creativity is not limited to one particular genre. Thank you for all the great reasons to bring my eyes here to see you.

  21. Auntie Pami says:

    Hello! Wow 100,000, if I had a nickel for each view. That's a lot of fabric!

  22. Lovely verse … don't freeze up, just imagine us all naked 🙂

  23. Congratulations Molli! I wish I had more talent as a writer as this would be the perfect occasion for an anniversary haiku for you!

  24. Jenny says:

    Whew. As I clicked over from Feedly, I crossed my fingers I wouldn't be faced with poems in the comments. I was going to give it the old college try, but I am relieved to see it is not necessary.

    Congratulations on your 100,000th page view! There are so many things to like about your blog, and I imagine you will get to 200,000 very quickly. Now get back to your machine and sew! P.S. I don't have any of those Echinos. (rhyme!)

  25. Kacey says:

    Congrats, Molli! I very much enjoy your brand of sparkle and fan-fare – thanks for sharing it! I hope you had a great trip!

  26. Cheryl says:

    Congrats on your bloggy milestone! Your blog is awesome.

  27. memmens says:

  48. Congratulations on this accomplishment! Your poetry was lovely (and I don't even like poetry).

  49. Katy Cameron says:

    Happy anniversary! I was starting to think you'd got haiku fever, then I realised there were too many lines and things, so I crawled back into my poetry illiterate hole ;o)

    Congrats on the views, you want to watch those things, they breed…
