Thank You to Friends Near and Far

Will you just look at all of those quilters?

I am so proud to have all of you visit

b e y o n d   t h e   r e e f

In the last few months, I have used the map above to follow along with all of you

(and yes, I do love the color scheme of the map!!)

there are people in 655 different cities

in 33 different countries

visiting the blog

for inspiration, for color & design, for quilting

And in the last two years I have used this map shown above

I have seen thousands and thousands of visitors from 60 different countries

that's exciting for me

to say the least

Now, I know there are plenty of bloggers out there

designers and quilters

with thousands and thousands more fans, cities, and followers

but that's not the point

it's not a competition.

this is my way of saying

t h a n k   y o u

to each and every one of you

for each and every one of your visits, and comments
