Blog of the Week

It's been quite awhile since I've posted about an interesting blog.   I don't think I will try to do it every week, but sometimes I do run across a blog that I just have to share with you!

This week's blog is Maryquilts. And boy, does she ever! She turns out lots of gorgeous quilts of her own, from start to finish, and also does long arm quilting on charity quilts. She's pretty proficient with her Accu Go cutter, too!  And computer savvy, designing quilts with EQ and her iPad!

Did I also mention she knits!

Mary's blog is full of pictures......quilts, socks, her family and travel.  It really is a very nice blog, you should go check it out!

Enjoy!

Blog of the Week

I know, I know, it's been awhile since I've posted an interesting blog. I guess I just haven't come across any that stood out until I found Because I Said Sew. Brooke is quite the seamstress, quilter and embroiderer! She really does it all.
I just the love the squirrel dog collar she made for her sister's dog. Check out her blog.

Blog of the Week

Sorry I missed last week's Blog of the Week, we were pretty busy with the Memorial Day sale. Everybody loves a bargin especially these days.

This week's blog belongs to a very accomplished seamstress who makes some beautiful and award-winning art garments. Summerset's blog is very informative in that she goes over every aspect of a garment she is making on her blog, from initial art work design to extraordinary finishing techniques. And if the art garments aren't enough she finds time to sew full wardrobes for herself and her family!

So check out her blog, Pins and Needles. You're sure to get hooked, I've been hooked for almost a year now!

Time for something totally different!
Okay, if you have ever been in the shop you know that we are dog lovers. I've been cruising for dog blogs and came across Ribsy and Mirabel's blog WhippetSnippets. They are just too cute! See for yourself.

Blog of the Week

This week's blog is Jovaliquilts.
Cheri has been writing her blog since 2005 and had just been quilting a few years when she started the blog. You sure wouldn't know it with the number of quilts she has managed to get done. She does a lot of charity quilts and the quilts are just great, bright and happy. She can serve as inspiration for all of us.
When you visit her blog be sure and check out the 'Stitched in Binding' tutorial on Feb. 19, 2009. It looks like a very quick and neat way of binding. I'll have to give it try sometime.

Blog of the Week

This week's Blog is Lazy Gal Quilting and I think you will really enjoy it. Tanya's quilts are a twist on folk art in that their colors are lively and vibrant. Her hand quilting is incredible too! She is a prolific writer and I haven't been through but half of her entries but I did find a nice tutorial she did in Aug 05' on free-piecing letters. Very informative and detailed. She is very into lettering and the quilts she makes with just letters are amazing.

And you can't help but fall in love with her 4 cats, they are adorable and featured regularly.

So check out Tanya's blog!

Blog of the Week

This weeks' blog is Tallgrass Prairie Studio. I think Jacquie's quilts are modern in the fabric sense but traditional in the use of blocks. I really like her style, it's very crisp and fresh looking. She has some tutorials and free patterns also. So take a look around her blog, it is fascinating.

And I feel for her on the recent passing of beloved dog, Fudge. I know from experience what she is feeling, I have felt it with Wysti, Echo, Emily and Tyson and will one day have to bear it with Lily and Ed. My heart goes out to her.

Blog of the Week

I am a late bloomer, I only got interested in blogs last summer. But it only took a few visits to some incredible blogs to get me hooked. There are blogs out there for everything you can imagine, quilting, sewing, crafting and much, much more. Some blogs are better than others, well put together, lots of pictures and informative. Some blogs are not.

Every Monday I will try to start your week out with a blog that I think is worth visiting. It may have to do with quilting or sewing or just something that I think you might enjoy or is fun.

Our first Blog of the Week belongs to May Britt of Norway, you can catch it here at Abyquilt. This is a great blog, lots of pictures and info. May is a fantastic quilter. She does a lot of applique, and some of the most pretty embellishment I have ever seen (and I'm not that big on embellishment). You can also learn some interesting things about Norway on her blog so check it out!
