Of course, there are going to be prizes! I mean, c’mon – what’s a blog hop without prizes, right? I’m not going to tell you who’s giving away what – you’ll just have to check out all of the stops for yourself. But trust me, there are some amazing prizes, so it’s well worth the hunt!
Quilt Along
I’m going to do another quilt along in January and YOU get to vote for your favorite quilt. Whichever quilt receives the most votes is the quilt along I’ll do. Won’t that be fun??

Christa Quilts 
I quilted a king sized on my home machine and don’t plan to do that again! I didn’t “puddle” the quilt enough, thus quilting it was a bit of a drag… literally.
I would love to read your book do I can learn enough to quilt bigger project s. And the fabric is beautiful
Congrats again on your new book Christa — and what a lovely lineup of fun you have for your blog hop — can’t wait to read up… Woot woot!!
I am so excited; I have never gone on a blog hop before.
This sounds like so much fun!
Christa I I will vote on your January quilt along as soon as I see all the quilts are in the book that are listed on your choices. Since my book was delayed I have to wait till it gets here. Do you have the ability to put a picture by the name of each quote maybe thanks.
Just can’t wait .
