Time for the letter I

I am actually in Sydney as I write this as Jerry is once again in the recording studio. I will let you know on Monday what I am getting up to.

But since it is the weekend, I thought for my readers it might be time to make a cuppa, settle back and enjoy some blogs from another section of the big blog list as we are now up to the letter I.

I try to choose blogs that are on topic and written reasonably frequently, by textile practitioners and designers who do such things as quilt, stitch, dye, sew, embellish fabric, bead, use visual journals, or are interested in art and design. I hope you enjoy them.

Here are the lists so far A , B, C , D , E, F, G and H

I an very new to embroidery and your site has helped me tremendously. I started because I wanted to make dish towels for my Gram and I have fallen in love with the craft. I am trying to find the best knot to finish off the thread. Do you have any suggestions?

Thank you,

Rachel
