Trying to make a blog header

 I love loons. This is a quilt I finished in 2011 and is hanging over our big screen TV.  I am so lucky to live at a lake. I kayak and love to check on the loons from when they return to the lake in spring to when the last chick leaves before the ice freezes.

I spent way too much time today playing with blogger and trying to choose a layout and template for this new blog.

• I learned how to add blog buttons. I chose the Graphics Fairy and Sew We Quilt to start.
• I learned how to edit my blog's header, layout template and background.

Why am I making this blog?

• I've decided to use this blog as a way to journal the quilts I make. I hope to take pictures of the process and the finished products. That will be a great way to remember the fabrics I chose and the quilting designs I used.
• I'm trying to get this blog ready for the Stitch Me Up bloghop hosted by Sew We Quilt. I've done some cute embroidery for this bloghop.  
• I want a place to showcase the patterns I am designing from my daughter Kim's art. She has inspired my to design some nice wall quilts using piecing, applique and embroidery.
