New Quilt Bloggers Blog Hop - Week 1

I am participating in the New Quilt Bloggers Blog Hop again this year. Last year I learned so much about blogging that when the chance came up to participate again this year, I jumped at it. We've been working on our blogs behind the scenes the last few weeks and today the first week of the blog hop begins.



One of the learning exercises we did this year was making a blog button for our group, The Hive Sewciety. I really enjoyed the exercise and this is the button I created....

But I really love the button that Alli created and it is the one the group chose to use....

That exercise got me excited about creating buttons and I tackled creating new social media icons for my sidebar. I just love the stack of thread spools that I ended up creating....
