Last year I occasionally presented annotated lists of interesting blogs that related to mixed media, fiber and texiles. This year I am continuing this practice hopefully a bit more frequently!   I hope readers will enjoy this practice. Last year I have updated the letter A , B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I , J , K and now  I present the letter L 

What is my criteria? I choose blogs that stay on topic at least 80% of the time, written 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, altered books, visual journals or studio journals. By 80% of the time I mean 8 in 10 posts are on topic. If a blog has not been updated in the last 6 weeks or so I don’t included it as I think readers enjoy current and active blogs.
