A total of 1,000!!!!

I have been downloading and exporting photos from our weekend's activities, and will post a full report tomorrow after the last girls have departed.

In the meantime, this is to announce that this is my 1,000th published post!!! For some reason I was checking out some information in the "back pages" a couple of days ago, and noticed the published blogs data, that said that there had been 999 posts so far.

I thought this total was worthy of a special post, and decided it was time for another competition??

Please leave me a comment, preferably on the blog, (although I realise it is harder for some, but please try?) Let me know how long you have been reading newsfromjude, and how you came to find about this blog. All names will be put into a draw and a winner chosen. I am not sure what that will be yet, but it will be a good one, and I will post domestic and overseas. This will close at midnight Easter Saturday (April 20th) and a winner chosen on April 21st.

I look forward to hearing from you all, and I know there are a lot of people who read and don't comment. Now is your chance to say hello.

                              **************************************************

It was a lovely surprise this morning when some special people arrived for a visit on their way home. This little man is growing up so fast, and is just over 3 months old now.


That's all for now, and I look forward to lots of messages on the blog.

Blessings, From Jude

It seems many moons ago that I was reading your blog & with your help I am able to respond. As a Blogger we know you well: You always have so much to tell: The photos you show highlight the text: And leave us wondering what comes next. ๐Ÿ’

Honestly I am not 100% sure Judy, but most likely when I started blogging in 2011, which seems like a long long time ago! Congratulations on 1,000 posts, I enjoy reading about your quilts, customers quilts, garden, trips and visitors, may it long continue.

Sue said...

Congratulations on your 1000 post, I also don’t know when I started reading your blog, but I do check every day to see what you have been up to ��

Susan Smith said...

WOW!!!! A thousand posts, that is a milestone. I know that I've been following you since my first Statler Retreat, when we discovered that we were both bloggers here in Oz, plus I've come to know you well over the years. Can't remember which year it was now, though I do know that I missed not coming to the one you've just had. Maybe next time. Take care & have a good week.

It seems a tad ridicules to be saying hi here when you are sitting opposite me at the table and I could say hi and you could just hand me that prize in person. Love your blog. Been reading for about a year. Cheers from Naomi.

That’s a lot of posts! I think I met you through Susan’s blog? And that might have been five years ago...but I can’t really remember :) But in any case I’m glad I did find your blog, and your retreats ๐Ÿ’• xx

Good for you, Judy -- congratulations! I've been reading your blog ever since last April, when I first met you. Hopefully you read mine sometimes, too.

1000 posts!! Congratulations Jude, that's a fantastic lot of life's special moments and every day events.
She who must be obeyed...JAS, suggested I have a look at her blog! It seems like forever since I read it for the first time. I feel very special to be part of such a
Wonderful tribe of very women with whom I can talk, laugh and enjoy life.

Hi Jude, Over the years I have tried hard (and failed miserably) to respond. Here goes again! I’ve followed your blog for years but can’t remember the first post that I read. Keep up the good work - love when I check and you’ve posted the next instalment. Cheers, Maxine

Maxine S said...

Lynda B said...

I'm only a meer newbie to your blog. Thinking perhaps just on 12 months maybe?? A friend had told me about you, your retreats and max. Now I can say I've been to a retreat and a Girl's pink weekend. Best weekends EVER xx

Jenny Wallis said...

Not sure of the year I started reading your blog, but have done so for some time. Only just recently started to leave comments!

Alison B said...

3 years ago maybe? and probably as a result of a conversation at a retreat 'across the road'. Congratulations on 1000 posts - that's a lot of typing, finding photos and editing. Not to mention the number of times you've probably had to start again coz you got interrupted! We all love this fantastic forum as it allows us to always feel a part of your life, even though some may not get to see you often. Your work is inspirational and your friendship is truly treasured. Well done.

Luv ya
Al

Our friend Maxine recommended your blog to me, Jude, and I’ve been enjoying it for a few years now I guess (time flies when you’re having fun)�� I enjoy the way you share your life with us and the quilt pics are always worth a close look...so much beauty is added by your hard work. Congratulations on your 1000th post!

Your blog was recommended by another blogger that I follow, "Tamarack Shack". I'm so glad I looked you up (about a year ago). I really enjoy seeing the quilts that you do and also the family photos you post. Thank you for sharing.

That's a lot of news and chatter about life in general Judy, 1000 blogs! Thanks for sharing part of your daily life with us and showing the beautiful quilts everyone makes.
I have followed your blogs since I started going to retreats a couple of years befor you moved across the road to your house, I can't remember the year but it's quite a while. Love to hear all your news and see the photos.
Take care, ๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ˜€
