A couple of my blogging friends have some pretty exciting things going on right now.

First, Jennie and Clara from Clover and Violet have A Season By Hand going on. For the next two months they will have inspirational projects handmade projects on their blog from some of your favorite bloggers (including me!). There will also be contests and prizes! Go check it out!

Beth from Plum and June is holding her second annual Let’s Get Acquainted New Blogger Blog hop. I participated last year and had a blast getting to “meet” new bloggers from all over the world. Go check it out!

Michele from Quilting Gallery is holding her second QAL called “Aiming for Accuracy”. The blocks and over all quilt design look fantastic and she is offering some great prizes for those who quilt along with her, you will want to check out the sponsors page, you might just find someone you know on there (wink wink).

And last, but certainly not least, Kristy from Hopeful Threads just announced her first ever ongoing project. I am so very excited for her and for those that will be on the receiving end of this wonderful project. The ongoing project is called the Fluff Project – go check it out, I know you are going to want to sew some fluff too!

I know there are tons of other things going on too, but I wanted to draw your attention to these projects, as I think they are going to be lots of fun!

Bee Blocks, Blog Hop and a Winner

This month is the first time ever I have waited until the VERY last minute to finish my bee blocks. I’m sure you can understand why, at this point I am just happy I got them done! I only have blocks for Trust Circle of Do. Good Stitches because for May I was the queen bee of Sew Bee Blissful and I am waiting until June to do my 3×6 blocks (I have until July 15th).

We were asked for flying geese, any block, in Navy, Orange, Gray and White. I am hoping these hit the mark!

Blog Hop: Beth from Plum and June is hosting the Let’s Get Acquainted Blog Hop!

Twice a week, 2 bloggers will be featured and they will both have tutorials up on their blogs as well as intros to them and how they got into quilting and blogging. I am so excited to be part of it! If you are interested you should go sign up, originally the blog hop was going to go through summer, but Beth had so much interest that she extended the hop into fall! Also, Beth has a great guest post on her blog right now from Deborah at Whipstitch Fabrics with a giveaway! Go check it out.

Now for a winner: Last week I announced the winners of the Superior Threads Giveaway. Well…I only heard from 2 of the 3 winners (a first for me). I have given the 3rd winner 5 days to respond and now I am picking a new person. I decided to pick the first person to respond – everyone once in awhile the first person to respond should be rewarded just for being that on top of things! (I got this idea from Julie at Intrepid Thread)

So the winner is: Kristy! Who said: “Wow! I had no idea what I was missing!! Glowing thread??? How fun! I think the Treasure Hand Quilting threads might be just what I need for something I’m planning….or maybe not….you’ll have to let me know which I need for ties! ”

I will be sending Kristy an email to get her mailing information. Congratulations Kristy!
