You don't have to sign-up for the all the blog hops right now, but you can if you want to. We will still announce them two months before they are happening.
What is a blog hop? It's like an online "show and tell" or quilt guild without leaving home.
We post a challenge on our blogs and those who want to join in
email us with their blog info.
After we get that info, we assign them a date to post their
project.
We
inspire each other with projects, tutorials, or patterns. Anyone can
follow along!
You can email Joan or me for more info or questions about the blog hops.

"Call Me Crazy"
THE CHALLENGE:
