The idea of the Lovely Blog Awards is for bloggers to nominate fellow bloggers, mostly newer, that they wish to recognize. The goal is to bring attention to blogs that we think are lovely and enjoy reading. We hope others will enjoy reading these blogs also. When you accept the award you agree to three things:
1. Thank the person who nominated you and provide a link to their post.
2. Share 7 things about yourself.
3. Nominate 1o other blogs for the award. Note this was how this information came to me but I have since found out that a year ago the 3rd agreement just said nominate other blogs for this award....so I say if 10 seems overwhelming just go with the number you are happy with.
Chantal blogs At the Corner of Scrap and Quilts. Here she shares her quilting successes and sometimes mishaps along with tidbits about her life. Her warm friendly French Canadian personality really shines in her posts which are often filled with humour. Thanks so much for nominating me Chantal. I am honoured to receive this nomination from you.
1. I work full time in a Health Food Store and quilt part time.

3. When I started to quilt approximately 10 years ago I was really starting from scratch as I was one of those people who really struggled with Home Economics in Junior High. I remember throwing a dress in the back of the closet in frustration. I now know I could call that a "work in progress " rather than thinking of it as a failure. I did finish it eventually so I guess it became a "lovely finish".
4. I'm not crazy about applique but I love English Paper Piecing.

5. I belong to two guilds. One is a traditional guild and one is modern. I like to work in both styles.

6. In the larger traditional guild I volunteer with the committee that co-ordinates the making of comfort quilts for the sexual assault unit at the local hospital. I love doing this and think it is one of the most important things that we do as a guild.
7. Theoretically I love gardening with Native (to my area) trees and plants. I say theoretically because I am always enthused about gardening in the Spring but my enthusiasm wanes in the heat of the Summer. The garden is large and overwhelming, but we chip away at it and it gets better every year.
But now on to the fun part where I nominate 10 lovely blogs. So here they are in no particular order. I love all these blogs and I hope you do too. I hope that you visit them and if you do please say hello from me.
1. Preeti from Sew Preeti Quilts
2. Iris from Crazy Dutch Bird Quilts
3. Catherine from Ditsy Gran Quilts
4. Sandra from Musings of a Menopausal Melon
5. Pamela from hokkaidodudasai
6. V. Hair ofSewing Softly
7. Kaja of Sew Slowly
8. Maryse of Maryse Makes Things
9. Terry of hexy lady
10. Ann of Annie Mac Original

Lisa, Thank you for nominating me for this award! I was previously nominated and posted about it here - http://hokkaidokudasai.blogspot.jp/2014/09/one-lovely-blog-award.html Thank you for your kindness in nominating me again.
Thank you, as I said to you by email, for thinking of moi! It really made my day. I haven't heard of this (I may often live under a rock by the lake here, you know) so it was a lovely surprise...get it?! I so enjoy reading what you are up to, and it was really interesting to see some quilts with which I am not familiar, as well as to know that you, like me, like both traditional as well as modern quilting. I will be sure to pay this forward. :-)
Thank you for including me in your list, Lisa. I enjoyed this post - it's nice to learn a bit more about you and I like the quilt pics too!
Thank you, Lisa! I enjoyed reading your post, it was nice to read and know a bit more about you. :-)
Now, I wonder where you are from?? :-)))
I live in a small city in Ontario. Not too far from Toronto.
It's lovely to meet you Lisa and learn a little about you right off the bat. I just hopped over here from Kaja's post and Sandra also mentioned you enthusiastically in an email. The examples you have shown of your work look lovely!
So I am guessing from photo #2 that the water is Lake Ontario. We live a stone skip away from Lake Ontario and take our dogs up to romp in the parks there often. We can look across the lake and see Toronto.
Great post, I loved learning new things about you.
