I'm feeling kind of stoked. Remember this humble little table runner tutorial?
You should check out the other 10. They're all fabulous. And you'll probably start to wonder why I'm mixed in with that bunch. I'm feeling the same way! Thanks again Kari for the lovely honor. Made my day.
(And let me tell you a little story about that tutorial. I was feeling so discouraged about blogging last spring. I can't really explain why - I just was. And I was ready to close up shop and just not blog anymore. I happened to exchange a couple of emails with Vanessa Christenson and she generously asked if I would be interested in writing a guest post tutorial. So I said yes and thought, okay I'll do this last thing, and then I'm done. Well that little project rebooted my blogging efforts. And I'm glad I've stuck around. My perspective on blogging has changed a lot since then and I'm a lot more at peace with it all. But that's another post for another day. I should be in bed. My brain is in too deep a fog to try and explain anything coherently right now. Good night!)

Congrats! That is awesome. It's amazing how a little recognition at the right time can change everything. Now, if only my child could start giving me a few props now and then :o) Congrats again, you are amazing!

I love this runner. I've used it to teach a friend to sew, made several for myself, and Christmas presents this year. <br />Thanks for sharing.<br />p.s. I love your blog. It has inspired me to pull out my sewing machine and sew more. As I tell my husband. . . I'm happier when I sew a little each day. And he's good with that.

Congratulations! I'm so excited that you made the list! You are amazingly talented!<br />Biz

Congratulations. Your table runner is beautiful! I want to make one.
Missy
That's great! Congrats!<br /><br />I'm usually a lurker, but I decided to post a comment just to say that I'm glad you stuck around as a blogger. I found your site from your series on Make and Takes, and I'm now a subscriber even though I've never sewed a stitch or even bought fabric. Maybe 2011 is finally the year that I fix that! Thanks so much for all that do!

How exciting! I'm almost done with the runner I'm doing from this tutorial and other than the fact that it's taking me forever, I'm very pleased with both the tutorial and the runner. Congratulations! Do you have a Flickr group for people to share their projects they've done from your tutes/patterns?

I love your runner and I am so glad it made the top 1o list. I am eagerly awaiting the next opportunity I have to go to JoAnns because I am making myself a table runner with your tutorial. Since I am a blogging newbie I am very glad you didn't stop blogging! Thanks for inspiring us!

Congrats! I love this table runner, and actually made my own spin on it by adding hot pad batting inside. That way it can be a hot pad as well as a table runner. I love all your great ideas!

Congratulations! I want you to know that I made your table runner over christmas. I made one just like your pattern out of my Christmas fabric scraps. Then I made two more incorporating some miscellaneous chrismas log cabin blocks that I had lying around. I gave the two with blocks away as gifts, but I kept the scrap one for myself. It was my favourite and I really love it. I am planning on

Congratulations Amy! You certainly do deserve the accolade. How glad am I that you continued to blog 🙂

You must not realize how many things I've copied off of your blog! I love your blog!! I have made your table runner several times, a few nine-patch quilts that you gave me the pattern for and I even copied your denim patch idea on my daughter's jeans! Keep them coming! I would miss you terribly.
hellomellydesigns
Oh Amy! I was just reading some of your posts and this came up as a suggested post for me to read. I love that being a top 10 tutorial on U Create was once "hitting the big time." If you could have seen yourself now!! I even used this table runner tutorial back in the day when you first posted it! You are fabulous now, but you've always been fabulous, even before this significant blog post. Thank you for your many years of sharing your talents with the rest of us!
Amy Smart
Aww, thanks. It is SO interesting to look back at our own milestones, isn't it? I'm so glad you commented on this post to remind me of my journey.
