What is your favorite blog?
 
I love blogs. I just run across a lot of them. I would really like to find some more. Any favorite blogs out there that you want to share?

I just happened on to Quilting in the Rain last week. She has a new baby so she doesn't blog a lot . ..

I forgot to mention my favorite... www.ihaveanotion.blogspot.com. She usually shows new gadgets and comments on whether she likes them or not. She also has a store to go along with her blog. I also go to www.sewmamasew.com!

Thank you all for sharing your favorite blogs. I have been reading ALL of them. I am going back, right this minute, and continue to read older posts on the blogs! These are fantastic. I knew there would be some great blogs you all would mention. Even the ones not about quilting! Well, back I go to reading them...

annthreecats 05-21-2012 09:23 AM

My favorite blog is crochet related. Lots of color. http://attic24.typepad.com/weblog/

I love "Quilting in the Rain" as well.

ditto on Bonnie Hunter's blog. there's so much on it, years of it actually. Only thing I don't like about Bonnie's blog is there is no "search" function (or maybe i missed it--and haven't found it yet). so if you are looking for something in particular, it is impossible to find.

also like MissouriStar Quiltco with jenny doan

and heirloom creations. she does demo on sewing machine feet for quilting as well as demo on rulers.

I love Leah Day's blog and videos. http://freemotionquilting.blogspot.c...tart-here.html

And of course, Missouri Star Quilting blog

I love Bonnie Hunter's quiltville quilts n snips. She posts every day and always has neat pictures to show where she has been and what she has been teaching.

Just Me... 05-23-2012 02:55 PM

Without naming specific blogs, I enjoy those that inspire me to do more quilting. I don't usually gravitate to the giveaways or tutorials. I open up my favorites--see what they are working on--comment on occasion---and keep blog hopping. It is so addicting, but also motivating! I feel like if they can get so much done, why can't I???

Skyangel 05-23-2012 03:27 PM

I've been following CJ Tinkle since she was living in an RV and was "The Wandering Quilter". Now she blogs about sewing, embroidery, longarm quilting, country living and the property her and her husband are going to build a house on.
