Here are a few of my favorite blogs, I've been following them for years. I found some of the blogs I follow by word of mouth or they were mentioned in a blog I was already reading.

https://quiltville.blogspot.com/ https://kathysquilts.blogspot.com/ and https://karensquilting.com/blog/

In my opinion, no. I don't get blogs delivered to my email. I understand lots of people do, but I prefer an unclogged inbox. Newsletters also seem to be designed to sell you products.

One thing I will mention is that most free blogging platforms have ads built into them to generate revenue for the blogging platform (WordPress, Blogger, etc.) I have ad blocking widgets added to my browser so I don't see these. I think we are over-bombarded with advertisements in our lives.

Lots of blogs have a list of bloggers *they* follow on a sidebar. So you can spend a decent amount of time clicking through and discovering new blogs. If you see a show or YouTube that features a quilter who you find interesting, chances are she/he might have a blog. Google the name and you might find something.

I usually look at quilt images on Pinterest, and many of them have the website or blog to go to for more info, so I will check out those I find interesting.

I use a blog reader because not everyone who blogs does it on a regular basis, therefore, it saves me time by not having to open a blog that hasn't been updated since I last read that one. A blog reader only shows me the ones that have been updated with a new entry or entries.

I love Julie Cefalu's blog. It's called The Crafty Quilter.
