Instead of 5 blogs, I have to come up with 11! This may seem easy especially if you have a Google Reader feed like mine. However, the under 200 followers rule makes it a bit challenging. But I do think it's a good rule since the point of this award is to give recognition to some of the more 'unknown' blogs that we like.
But wait, there's more... This time, I get to answer and ask questions. Such a fun way to get to know each other, don't you think? I'm including some random photos too, just to break things up a bit. Enjoy!
To participate:
1. Thank and link back up to the one that nominated you (Me).
2. Answer 11 questions asked to you by me.
3. Tell us 11 things about yourself.
4. Nominate 11 of your favorite blogs that have less than 200 followers
5. Ask them 11 questions.
11 Questions From Ramona
1. What’s your favorite book? or movie? Star Wars is my favorite movie. I know every word including the
sound effects. My favorite book is a much harder question so I’m going to cheat
and say my favorite genre is Sci-fi/fantasy and my favorite movement in literature
was modernism.
2. Cake or pie? Actually, I’m not really a fan of either. Now, if
you had included cookies…

4. Do you have a favorite fabric manufacturer? (Moda, Free
Spirit, etc) My favorite manufacturer is probably Daisy Janie. It’s some of the
nicest fabric I’ve ever used and it’s all organic. You can go to Jan’s website
and read all about it.
5. Who is your favorite fabric designer? I can’t say I have a
favorite per se; however, a good chunk of my stash includes Basic Grey and Kate
Spain.
6. Name a song that you never get sick of hearing. Ooh… that’s
tough. I really can’t think of one. There are whole albums that I can still
listen to over and over again, like Deloused at the Comatorium by The Mars
Volta. That one never gets old!

8. What brings you peace? Being creative or backpacking.
9. What makes you laugh? I laugh a lot! But I have to say that
watching videos of people falling/getting hurt really cracks me up. I know that
sounds horrible but I’m constantly getting hurt and I laugh at myself too.
10. Have you tried hand quilting, paper piecing, or embroidery?
Nope. But I’d like to try paper piecing.
11. How many bees, guilds, or other sewing groups do you belong? I
just joined our area’s new MQG which I’m really excited about. Other than that,
I mostly join swap groups etc. on Flickr.
11 Random Things About Me
1. I can write with my toes. No
joke.
2. I’m not a fan of guns but I
love knives (and swords). I’m pretty sure that I carried a sword in a past
life.
3. I’ve been writing a book for
the past five years and one day I’d like to finish and own at least one bound copy.

5. It took me 10 years to get my
Bachelors. My goal was to finish by the time I turned 30. I ended up double-majoring in English Lit and Fine Arts but made it with a
month to spare!
6. I used to have my eyebrow
pierced. It was painless, unlike my tattoo.
7. One day I hope to thru-hike
the entire Appalachian Trail (GA-ME).
8. If my hub and I didn’t have
animals, we’d probably sell everything and wander around the woods for a bit
and see where the trail takes us J
9. I’ve work in education
(teacher, assistant etc) for almost 20 years. I’ve tried really hard to have a
different career path but, in the end, teaching is where I always end up.

11. And since I couldn't think of
#11 on my own, this one comes courtesy of my husband: I make up songs and sing
to the animals instead of just talking. So if I want to say, ‘You’re a bad boy
and I want to beat your kitty/puppy butt,’ I will make up a song about it. Hub
finds that strange but I think it’s quite unremarkable J

2. If you were given the chance to study or learn from anyone, alive or dead, whom would you choose?

9. If you could only have one
food for the rest of your life, what would you choose?
