Yes, I have bitten this time to participate in a blog hop. It's how I got started writing my own. Last spring I read all the blogs that Michelle from the Quilting Gallery had for that hop, and I thought I could do the same. Writing on a continual basis was too much for me, and so the posts have been sparse. But I am enjoying seeing all the wonderful things that people make. Lots of quilts, bags, and other goodies are displayed among all. I've just finished participating in a swap thru fb, and even there, the groups have lots of new things I want to explore.

I basically do alterations and the making of new clothes as a business. Just last week I started and finished a skating dress for my 16 yr old. She didn't have a dress to wear for her dance test, or so she claimed. It was a simple dress made with some of the material I already had in my sewing room. I've also included some pictures of things I've made the last couple of months

I am also giving away some fat quarters for this hop. This giveaway is open till the 15 of December and I will ship internationally. I would really prefer it if you also became a follower. However, it is not a prerequisite! Thanks for your visit on my blog, and have fun hopping the other ones.

How am I the first one? I am already a follower. Thanks for the chance to win fabric.
Awesome fabric. Love the colors.
Good morning! I admire your ability to make clothes. My lack of ability in sewing clothes is what lead me to quilting - it's so much easier, and the pattern fits every time, teehee. Great fat quarter collection - I'm sure I could put every one to good use. I'll follow you - come check out my blog over at Mountain Quiltworks.
Your sweatshirt pillow top is beautiful! I'm hoping to make a leotard or two for my daughter for Christmas. I'm a new follower to your blog. The fat quarters you have chosen are beautiful!
Beautiful fabrics, thanks for a great giveaway. I am already a follower too.

I think it is great that a blog hop inspired you to blog. It takes a while to write regularly--even now I often miss my goal of once a week.
Nice fabric - I especially think the blue on the bottom of the stack is very pretty! Thank you for the chance to win!

As someone who loves to sew clothes I was thrilled to find your blog on this hop. I will be following you and I look forward to seeing more of the alterations you do.
Your clothes items are lovely. Why do daughters always claim to have nothing to wear? I still love making clothes for my daughters even though they are grown up.
I certainly admire anyone who can do alterations. I have sewn for my children when they were little and do mostly quilting now. The doily is beautiful too. I am a follower.
thank you for the chance to win.
Love all your items - especially the sweatshirt! That is sooooo cool! I love to sew for my boys too! And they love to go to the fabric store or shop my stash for fabric for something for them. Thanks for a chance to win this fabulous fabric! :) I'm a new follower too!
Love the fabric. I am a follower. thanks for the giveaway, merry christmas
