We are at the letter J

First up some news as Virginia Spiegel contacted me through the week to let me know of a call for artists to participate in Collage Mania 2009 has been made. This is a  Fiberart For A Cause Fundraiser for the American Cancer Society.

On another note Mara of Applique and Embroidery in Beijing left a comment to draw attention to Blog Action Day 2008. The idea is to to raise awareness about poverty. Check it out. If you have a blog you may like to participate on October 15.

Once again its time to make a cuppa settle back and enjoy some blogs from my big blog list

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.
