Welcome to Week 1 of the 2018 New Quilt Bloggers Blog Hop! I’m so happy I decided to participate this year. Big Sister is the role I was born to play. You just tell everyone what to do, then brag about them.
Participants have been split up into small work groups called “hives”. My hive is Quilt, Blog, Repeat. Very appropriate for this group of busy quilters.
This week we have two bloggers in our hive introducing themselves.
- Jan @ Cocoa Quilts
- Michelle @ Creative Blonde
I hope you will take some time to visit both blogs from my hive this week, as well as my co-hosts, Beth @ Cooking Up Quilts, Sandra @ mmm!Quilts and Tish @ Tish ‘n Wonderland. Each of them also has a hive of bloggers to check out.

Nice to see you in person last week! Some fun new bloggers I have found already. Jan was in one of my groups last year and there is a crazy little group of “sisters”. You could ask her….
You bet Sister!!!
I love the name of your hive – it’s so original!

Thanks Hive Mom for all you are doing for us.
You are welcome!
That’s an excellent description of Big Sisterhood right there. Thanks for keeping us all in line!
Thanks for all your hard work in this wonderful blog hop!
Your hive came up with a very cute button! I’m just now getting around to visit everyone on the list for this week and seeing some really good quilt inspiration as well as blogs.
It took me a few days, too. We have a talented group this year.
Jennifer, love the concept of Big Sister to your hive. I hope you have a relaxing Saturday playing with all your quilting toys. Your Skyline quilt on Instagram is amazing!
Thanks! I hope you are having fun in your army truck on this lovely day!
Thanks, Tracie!
I plan to have a fun weekend sewing and spending time with family.
