GUEST POST: Sew We Quilt
GOOD DAY and thank you Scott for inviting me to post about what we do at Sew We Quilt.Imagine a global quilting society, that is what we are. We gather women from all over the world to share their stitches, their humor, their exquisite projects with us. Twice a month we have a theme blog hop that challenges our ladies to new heights. Be it a new collection like your Rush Hour learning a new technique or sharing a new pattern, we come together from the privacy of our own homes and we connect. We give everyone 2 months notice to create their project.
The past 12 months, we have logged in 4.8 million unique visitors. We are a buy, sew, and show blog. Everyone is encouraged to purchase fabric, or notions or even patterns all the while pouring dollars back into an industry we are all pretty passionate about.Prior to being a blog hop blog , we were a tutorial blog, but we noted people were just collecting patterns and tuts. Few were actually making anything so I thought “let’s get them sewing and stitching by a due date” and blog hops were a way of doing that. Anyone can join in and although we limit our hops to 5-6 members a day, we try to embrace all those who are committed.Our Rush Hour blog is a success already( day 3) I have noted the caliber of ladies evolving with more creativity, more detail. They take pride in what they create. It is hard not to be proud of their growth. I say “we” because nobody does it alone. We have cheerleaders who are essential to our success, they are recruited for being just that- great cheerleaders for all those who participate in our unique society. They do continue to inspire and challenge me too.They all have come to embrace- “that I am always behind them, gently moving them forward.”So with gratitude it is companies like yours who will continue to inspire us with your lovely collections. Here is a sampling of those who WOWed us and moved us with their creativity.We choose top 2 each day, and in the near future they will be recipients of new collections to create the next blog hop theme. It pays to be part of our unique society.A lovely feminine Rush Hour lap quilt.A cover for a lap top.A brick quilt that will be a classic years from now.A reminder wakey is really part of our every day.A lovely tote, perfect for a Rush Hour trip.A modern floating block quilt.A classic tote with quilt in tow….a perfect picnic quilt.Ohhh and La Modele doll enjoying the view!YOU matter to us
