10k photos!

We hit a big milestone yesterday in the Quilting Bee Blocks Flickr group! Yesterday morning when I was checking the group I noticed we were getting close to 10,000 pictures in the group. In the afternoon when I was back again I managed to get a screen grab of when we were at 9,999! I sat there and refreshed for what seemed like hours - but no one was uploading. Then *boom* next refresh there were about 10 new pictures added and we were already past the 10k mark, so I wasn't able to get a screen grab of that. But how exciting!

To think of that many blocks floating around out there and in handmade quilts all over the world - just how amazing is that? This community is awesome and I'm so glad to be able to share it all with all of you!

Quilting Bee Blocks Flickr group widget

Did you all see that spiffy new Flickr widget over there on the sidebar?!  Here it is again just because it's SO cool.  :]

I love how it showcases the most newest blocks added to our group as well as gives us our total number of photos & members at a glance! And the best part is that it automatically updates itself. So if yours is one of the most recent 8 blocks added to the pool it will be showing up on the Quilting Bee Blocks homepage!

(I made the widget at BigHugeLabs.com)
