A Year in the Making

I think these napkins are the perfect thing to post about today...

Today is The Quilted Turtle's one year anniversary. I started QT last February with this post about a table runner and I've been going strong ever since. I've really enjoyed blogging, so much so I have surprised myself. It's been fun finding my niche, discovering my style and getting to know so many wonderful people. I am constantly amazed by the incredible bloggers I meet. So, thank you to all the wonderful women whose words I read regularly. You are a creative lot and you inspire me every day. Thank you, too, to all the people who read my words. I hope I inspire you, make you laugh, or at least occasionally put a little smile on your face.

The napkins are nothing special really - just 19.5 inch squares with a rolled hem- done on my serger. Heart napkins may seem a bit hokey, but they make my children smile. Since I've had children I try to decorate for holidays. OK, I also adore experiencing holidays through their eyes - there's something so magical about holidays when you're little. So, last year it was table runners for Valentine's and St. Patrick's, this year it will be napkins. Quick, easy, and green. (As in reusable and good for the environment.) Plus, I can make them for a fraction of how much they would cost to buy. I think they averaged out to be right around $1.00 a piece.
