Thanks so much for being a host for the hop this year, Yvonne. I am sure enjoying getting to know the participants! And I sure appreciate you sharing the links to the blogging tips. Diana’s post has reminded me how badly my Pinterest boards need attention!
I choose to follow a blog when it’s s fun blog . I like a bit of humour and wry musings as well as the quilt ir knitting stuff
My favourite holiday is one where I am “on the go”. I love City breaks or touring holidays
Hmmmm…. I follow a blog that inspires creativity and also has a good bit of humor in the mix. I love getting to know the personality that shows through.
Thanksgiving is my all time favorite holiday.
I chose to follow a blog when the individual posts frequently, shares some of the design process in their quilting and also tells you a little about their personal life.
My favorite holiday is Thanksgiving. It includes many family members getting together without the stress of gifts, decorating, cookie baking, etc that Christmas brings with it.
i love Christmas and all the gift giving
Just finished visiting your ‘Hive’! Loved every one!
We are off to a great start! Thanks so much for hosting. I’ll follow a blog because the quilter inspiring and that encourages me to grow as a quilter/artist. I like and follower quilters who share their creative process, tools and techniques.
I follow a blog, because I like the projects/quilts on it. Tutorials, tips and giveaways.
Halloween is my favorite holiday.
My initial reason to follow a blog is the content and photos I see. What usually makes me stop following a blog is either the posts don’t coincide with what I originally thought was interesting to me, the blogger never replies to my comments, or (and this is a biggie) their blog is too busy looking and has a difficult to read font.
Thanks, Diana!

My favorite holiday is Christmas, mostly for the decorating purposes and music.
I follow blogs because they give me inspiration. I think my favorite holiday is the 4th of July. Our family always hosted the family picnic that holiday and it takes me back to fond memories. Thank you so much for all the great advise and I will check out what the others have to say. L
I’m not sure how I’ll keep up with the hop, but I’m sure going to try! I’m looking forward to meeting lots of new bloggers.
Bit late here this week, but I’ve just been catching up on all the links above. And I must go and ‘like’ you on FB anyway, I’m so rubbish at FB that I really need to see how it’s done well! For the questions for questions sake – follow a blog when I feel some kind of connection, when I feel I’m getting to know the blogger and want to know what happens next with them. And holidays – Summer, Summer, Summer! Not sure that’s what you meant, but Summer anyway!
