Time for the letter F
Friday, July 31, 2009 at 7:10AM
It’s the weekend and I have prepared another of my annotated lists of interesting blogs.

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.

Thank you for putting these lists together. I always find a new blog (or 10) to follow!
Thanks for continuing to list my blog, I know I don't post very often and posts about stitching are even fewer as the rate of production is very slow but I appreciate being in your list.
Thanks for the link Sharon!
I was wondering what was going on. All of a sudden I had more visitors in one day then I usually have in a week. Now I know where they are coming from. :-)
Have a great weekend!

Thanks for yet another terrific list - although as I add yet more blogs to my subscribed list I fear one day I'll do nothing but read about stuff instead of actually doing it!
Thank you for adding me to your list. I always enjoy reading new blogs myself, it's great for inspiration.
what Amanda says seems to be true-actually spending more time reading about the stuff than actually doing them
