Week 1 New Quilt Bloggers Hop & Giveaway

When we first started talking about and planning for this hop back in January of this year, April seemed pretty far away. And now it's here!

It is my pleasure to welcome you to week one of the hop where we introduce quilt bloggers who are new to Quilting BlogLand. My hive named themselves In Stitches.
Carrie of Carrie Bee Creates made our button. That's one of her own quilts!

This week I hope you will visit Gail @ Quilting Gail and Rachel @ Rachel Rossi Design and show them some comment love!

I hope you will also have time to hop over to my co-hosts' blogs, Beth @ Cooking Up Quilts, Tish @ Tish 'N Wonderland, and Jen @ Dizzy Quilter where you will find links to the bloggers in their hives who are also posting today.

All you need to do for all eight new bloggers posting today is leave a comment and come back to enter the giveaway for some truly wonderful prizes.


On the co-hosts' blogs, you will also find the Rafflecopter Giveaway for lots of wonderful prizes! We are so very grateful to our 18 very generous sponsors for this year's hop:

    Somehow, In Stitches just seems the right name for your hive, Sandra! I know without a doubt that you made it fun :-) Thanks so much for hosting the blog hop!

      Hi Elaine, you are a no-reply so I can't answer you privately by email, but this is important, so I'm putting it right her on my blog: you do NOT have to follow the new bloggers to get an entry for the giveaway! We hope you may find some new and interesting bloggers in QBL, but we certainly do no want to 'make' anyone follow people. Leaving a nice comment, however, is what helps keep QBL spinning its lovely, friendly, giving way, right? Thank you for visiting and commenting here! If you happen to see this.... can you include your email within your comment box so I can respond to you privately? Like this: ephdra at gmail dot com :-)

    I've been following Quilting Gail for a bit and didn't realize that she was relatively new to blogging. It's always a fun blog hop, thanks for hosting.

I wholeheartedly appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment, as they make my day! I answer every one by personal email. :-) Unless... you are a "no-reply" blogger, which can occur for a few reasons. You can get around that by writing out your email within your comment so that I can answer you.
