Let's Bee Social #92

First off, I really want to thank each and every one of you for all your support of this linky party. It is such a pleasure to take some time each week to visit some of the links and to see that there are always familiar names having left a comment before my arrival. Because that's what this linky party is all about. Your friendly and sweet comments left on each other's blogs really makes me happy!

And secondly, I want to thank you all again. This time for all your kind comments left on my own blog each week. But most especially for my postings last week about the Gossip Girl finish! You really make me proud to be a part of this great big, world wide, quilting community. And Wednesdays just wouldn't BEE the same without each of YOU!




Yesterday I posted the final instructions for the Dog Gone Cute quilt along. And now I am so dog gone excited for next week to get here! I am so looking forward to visiting all the Dog Gone Cute blog hop participants during the next month and seeing what everyone has made!

Here are some sneak peeks....
