Just Saying...You Inspire Me

In case I haven't mentioned it lately, you inspire me.

I'm grateful for that!

Your blog posts have kept me going through good times and bad.

You're funny, creative, and a pleasure to have in my life.

But, there is always another season of life.

It's been a very hard decision, but Joan and I have talked extensively and decided 

that it is time to pull the plug on blog hops. We have both seen the trend in readership dropping

 over the past few years. There just doesn't seem to be the traffic to our posts or interaction with

 comments that we saw a few years back. Life changes and we get it. 

Blog hops are about the only thing I post anymore and I don't have the time to read other blogs, either. 

It's been a joy hosting the hops with all of you and working with Joan has been a blast.

 Hopefully someone will host a hop from time to time that I can jump in and play.  

I will still post my projects on here, my Facebook page, Instagram, and Cackling Stitches.

The last three blog hops...

November - Gnome For Thanksgiving - hosted by Joan 

December - Virtual Cookie Christmas Exchange - hosted by me

You can find the whole quilt fabric requirements HERE.

(The rows are great for those Halloween scraps of fabric hiding in your stash.)

THE FREAKY FACTS:

Starting August 1st, one or two rows will be shared each month.

There will be 12 rows of applique and/or piecing.

They will be a mystery until they get released on the first of each month.

The row(s) will be free the month they are released and then they will

mysteriously disappear and magically appear in my Etsy store for a small fee.

We have a Facebook page called "Cackling Stitches" where we share Halloween projects.

"Scared Silly" rows will be shared on my blog and on FB so be sure to follow one to get updates.
