#4 Safari Moon Blog Hop

I have virtually met so many wonderful people since starting to quilt a few years ago. One of those special people is Frances Newcombe. We have never met in person, but have chatted online, with texts and on the phone a few times!! She has such a passion for design and wants to create fabrics that will inspire!! And wow what a line she created !!!

I was so excited when Frances asked me to be a part of her Safari Moon Blog Hop.

To be given free rain to just have fun and make some projects to show off her great fabric was freeing and just a little frightening...lol

Thanks Frances and all the other ladies in the Blog Hop, it is a privileged to be in such great company!!! I am having a blast!

For everyone stopping by to hopefully be inspired, read to the end of the post, because I was able to find another great give away!! 

Also don't forget to leave a comment at Frances Blog everyday telling her what you enjoyed the most from that days post, to be entered into the Blog Hops grand prize draw for a
 Safari Moon FQ Bundle.
 Draw to be held at the end of the Hop.
