Time for the letter J
Over the next week or so I will be in New Zealand taking some time out with Eve and having a small family break. I will still be blogging the crazy quilting details and band sampler etc. But also stick around you may even have holiday pics inflicted upon you if I find the time.
In the meantime it’s time for another of my annotated lists of interesting blogs. I hope readers will enjoy this one. So far this year I have updated the letter A , B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I and now we are at J
I choose blogs that stay on topic at least 80% of the time, written reasonably frequently, by textile practitioners and designers who do such things as quilt, stitch, dye, sew, embellish fabric,and bead. Or are kept by people who are interested in art, design or paper related crafts, such as bookbinding and altered books. Another area of interest is Art Journals, visual journals or studio journals.

Sharon, I so appreciate these blog lists! I've already found a few more that I'll be poring over and imagine my surprise to see Jenny Dean's blog!! I have one of her books - bought it years ago - and I never thought to check if she had a blog.
I am pleased you enjoy them . I too am always surprised at how many writers also have blogs.
Thanks for including me! I especially like that your criteria included staying on topic at least 80% of the time...something I try very hard to do ;-)
Wow! Thank you, Sharon. I just found this post, and I'm delighted to be in such good company.
Great idea!
Jennifer
