Easter Treasure Hunt Blog Hop 2018

web image

Hi there! Welcome to my part of the Easter Treasure Hunt Blog Hop for 2018..... This is another brilliant blog hop organised by Jo (Serendipitous Stitching)...

The blog hop is very simple indeed, takes no time at all to participate..  So what do we blog hoppers need to do?  Post a picture of something we have stitched that relates to Easter or Spring, add in the Mystery letter somewhere in the post... and then link to the next person in the blog hop!  Simples! Right? Yep... so let's get on with the hop...

My stitching picture is a brand new finish....

This gorgeous bunny is a 2002 freebie from Val's Stuff.  The free chart handout arrived in my latest fabric of month package from Crazy Annie... so perfect timing!

Ok... so that is the Easter/Spring inspired stitching... now onto what you are all looking for - the mystery letter!

So, now that you have collected the letter "E" from me... you need to hop along to the next blog on the list (link below) and collect more letters til you have the mystery phrase.

The final step after visiting all the blogs, collecting the letters and working out the mystery phrase is to hop over to Jo's blog and leave a comment with what the mystery phrase is.

Ok... so where are you going to next?  Click on the image below and you will find yourself visiting with Ishkabibble.

Enjoy the blog hop and don't forget to collect your letters and head over to Jo's blog to leave a comment with the mystery phrase.

Til next time, happy stitching!
Happy Easter to you all
Hugs xx

Ok... yes I know my GG post is late... so late that it is almost time for the March update... but never mind... just for the record here it is!  So this is where "Boo Club" was up to as of 15th February 2018.  I have managed to complete more of the border and finished the next block but I will show you that in my February update post shortly.

I also wanted to share with you another piece of stitching that qualifies for a GG post...

This was the stitching that I shared as part of the Stitching Sweetheart Blog Hop on 14th February 2018.  The design is the latest freebie from Hands On Design - link to chart is here.

Because I love this picture so much I am going to keep it at the bottom of every GG post.... Miss Mouse is the most loving puppy you could ever have... her love is a gift to us so I think it is quite fitting that she is in my 2018 GG posts! 

Til next time, have a great stitchy week... and happy stitching
