Day One of Pick Four blog hop


Good morning everybody, and welcome to our blog hop.  I am your tour guide for the next 10 days.

We are starting our trip in the West Midlands, where our host, Hazel lives and I thought I would give you some interesting facts about the area we are visiting today. 
  • We are close to the home of the UK’s largest quilt show, the Festival of Quilts.  
  • There are some very old towns - archaeological finds show there was a settlement in this area in 400BC but I don’t remember that! 
  • Allegedly, Roger Moore lived round here somewhere at one time, and James and Oliver Phelps, who play the Weasley twins in the Harry Potter films do too.
  • You’ll need your pj’s tonight as the temperature will be about 10C (50F) but during the day it’ll be windy and the temp will start at 12C (53F)  going up to the giddy warmth of 19C (63F) during the afternoon.
Now if you go to Hazel's blog, here, you can read what she, as a relative newcomer to quilting thinks of the book, and you could win an autographed copy too.

Tomorrow we'll be flying across the ocean for Day Two of our trip.

Here's the itinerary for the whole trip:

  13. I actually accidentally fell into this hop. I've checked out so many links now, I'm not sure where I actually started. What a fun event!

  14. I am a wee tad behind but I will go catch up RIGHT now! I need an autographed copy. That is way better than the non-autographed copy that I'll buy if I don't win an autographed copy from my famous friend!
