Hello New Friends!
Welcome back to the 52 Quilters blog! My name is HollyAnne
Knight, and I’ll be your “hostess” this week. I’m going to take a few minutes
to introduce myself, then I have a couple of action items for you so that you
don’t miss out on any of the week’s excitement!
I’m a 25 year old wife to the Hubster (John), mama to two
toddlers (Jem and Ian), and pet mama to three absurd cats (Moby, Monte, and
Felicia) and a 30 gallon aquarium of angelfish and other Amazon tropical fish. I’ve
been creative my whole life, and I have a background in painting, knitting, and
preprofessional ballet. I’ve only been quilting about two and a half years, but
I’ve jumped in whole heartedly, and I feel like I’ve finally found where all of
my creative bliss meets—color, texture, and movement. Most of our mornings are
spent at the park, and I love to do the monkey bars and jump off the swings.
Two little boys have a lot of energy, so it takes good sunshine and fresh air
to wear them out for naps! While they nap/rest/create chaos together in their
room in the afternoon, I sew, and I head to the sewing room again at night
after they go to bed.
Now, I have some super important links for you so that you
can have all the FUN and get all the FREEBIES that I have planned for you this
week.
- Follow me on Instagram @stringandstory. I’ll be posting different stuff over there all week, plus, you want to be all squared away to stay in touch after this week!
- Hop over to www.stringandstory.com/52quilters and sign up to receive your FREE copy of “3 Easy Tips to Improve Your Free Motion Quilting.” This PDF takes you back to some foundational principles for succeeding when you quilt.
- While you’re on my website, go ahead and poke around, especially my blog at www.stringandstory.com/blog. I post several times each week, and I love giving tips and inspiring your creativity! Quilting should make us feel confident and joyful, and bringing you closer to or deeper into those feelings is always my goal.
Now, I’ll post more about this in a couple of days, but
there’s one more thing you should know about me. I’m also the President and
co-founder of a 501(c)(3) nonprofit called Quilts for Cure. We raise awareness
about childhood cancer and provide quilts to kids currently in treatment for
pediatric cancers to comfort and encourage them. You can find out more about us
at www.quiltsforcure.org. And, as I
said, I’ll post LOTS more in a couple of days.
Okee Dokee, friends! I’m so excited to be with you today! Be
sure to check out those action items—especially “3 Easy Tips to Improve Your
Free Motion Quilting”!
Happy quilting,
HollyAnne
