So on the first of every month, here at lilysquilts.blogpost.com, we have a linky party to show off anything you've made or worked on (or even fabric you've bought) during the previous month. There is a second linky party to help small blogs meet and connect with other blogs. You'll find a few new blogs to follow and hopefully build up the network around your blog and gain some new followers too. And I always look back over the month and pick my favourite project for that month which I think would probably have to be the Oakshott schoolhouse quilt. I loved the image when it was on Touchdraw but the new Oakshott colourshotts really brought it to life. You can make this quilt using a colourshott 10" pack or F8 bundle and the pattern will soon be available as a kit from Oakshott.
And what about you? What have you worked on this month? Any finishes? Maybe a mosaic of everything you've been doing? One favourite thing? Link up at the bottom of this post to share what you've been working on. If you do link up, how about visiting at least four of the other blogs who link up - two above you and two below you - and stopping to leave a comment as well as visiting back anyone who visits you. As always here's the button to grab.
<div align="center"><a href="http://lilysquilts.blogspot.com/" title="Lily's Quilts"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjL19Zwm2xbNmLkzsIE98tevPpa7G9dvzzpTLZMxZbPCBVIVBB94FGVxILWOuxMLsF7ZR06Vii35v4TuVbEyyseJKVUoGLyuieOfTlBoTs6A_3BPsXi6A55-MQlyWWo7gXLw15GxeCokegG/s150/FSDB.png" alt="Lily's Quilts" style="border:none;" /></a></div>
And link up in the second linky if you are a blog with fewer than 50 followers and would like to get to know a few more people out there in blogland. Write a post about this feature, add this button and then link up.
<div align="center"><a href="http://lilysquilts.blogspot.co.uk" title="Lily's Quilts"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMBzaigVGJehNAIxGfDTy2WCCxJMqIkF12QZccP0fiJSQRa7trmf1nej0NU8PUIbtiDKC4bdClnoY_ar705se7b10i5xNNhNMgPPFqoSd4maRZpnllj8m2xufImZ3Zmyqp7NANAICjhI3V/s150/SBMB.png" alt="Lily's Quilts" style="border:none;" /></a></div>
Next go and visit and get to know at least four other linked blogs - starting with the two above you in the linkys and the two below you. Visit those blogs, leave a comment, click to follow and visit that blog regularly over the next few weeks. Visit more if you have the time. And also visit back any new bloggers who come to visit you and get to know them and their blogs.
