It is a holiday weekend here in Canberra. I will not be bounding around here until Tuesday morning so I decided it was an ideal to time to post a little more of the huge blog list as it gives people time to browse.

As I said when I introduced this list of blogs I regularly read, browse, dip into or visit for one reason or another these blogs are 80% on topic - or there abouts. They are written by textile practitioners who are actively making and contributing to the community online. These people are active bloggers who quilt, interested in art and design, stitch, dye, sew, embellish fabric, bead, use visual and art journals or catch my eye and interest. There is a the odd blog about blogging too as I know people are interested in that topic as well. So enjoy!
