Let's Get Acquainted Blog Hop Week 5



The Let's Get Acquainted link up is here on my blog today (at the bottom of this post.)  While I have really enjoyed hosting the link up for the past year, I am going to be changing it a bit starting in August.  The new version will be monthly instead of weekly (the third week of the month) and will be for posts on specific topics - anything ranging from challenging you to expand your photography skills to sharing your favorite tutorials to writing about blogging/sewing related topics.  I'll share the topic at least one month in advance so you'll have plenty of time to write your post. 

So, what do you think?  Anyone think they'll join in?

1. Link up any recent sewing/quilting post.

2. In your post or on your blog, please include either a text link or a button letting people know about this link up.

3. Visit at least the two bloggers who link up before you and everyone who visits you from this post.

4. When the link tool asks for your name, write down a  random fact about yourself that has nothing to do with sewing or quilting (I know I've used this question before but it has been awhile.)
