Around the Net: Bags (entry 37)

Happy Remembrance Day to all of us Canadians

Thank you to those who have fought for us, those who are fighting and those who continue to fight for our freedoms as we are forever grateful.


 

Around the Net I go… and as I browse all the wonderful blogs out there in blog land, I try to keep a list of all the cool things I stumble upon with the intentions of sharing with you : )

Today is no exception. DIY Bags is a cool blog all about bags, of course and as you browse through the site you will find a collection of all types of interesting bags.  Some to take grocery shopping, others to our sewing meet-ups or for guild giveaways, or even to stuff full of little trinkets and give away as gifts.

As a quilter/blogger I really felt a connection to DIY Bags.  It has such a great collection of free tutorials with clear descriptive pictures and links to originating articles… “what a good idea”.

To help get your creative juices flowing, here’s a sneak peak at 4 very different styles and colours.


Until next time, have a great day! Valerie

Around the Net (entry 31)

So around the net I go…here’s what I found for this weeks entry:

Machine Quilters Resource (pretty self explanatory however they offer classes and lectures, memberships are required, she puts in her recommendations from Houston etc – great site full of interesting facts and information).

Now with so many blogs being available and so many places to search for excellent quilting blogs like 

Quilting Bloggers 

Quilting Bloggers Logo 
 

 Quilter Blogs Similar to Quilting Gallery but they have a feed 

of course the infamous Facebook – here’s the link to my fan page (which you have to be a facebook member to join as a fan but you can still read along if you don’t want to join) there is unlimited access to all sorts of quilting clubs, groups, exchanges, challenges, swaps & so much more on Facebook so I would recommend you get an account.

I also found this blog called Man Quilter him and wife do professional machine quilting and quilting out of their home studio in Edmonton…check him out – so worth it! On his blog I found this amazing video on Zentangle for those of you who do know that this is – check it out!

If there is a site/forum/blog that you like and want to share with us all..please send me your comments as the more resources we have available to us the more we can excel in what we do and how well we can do it.
