Time for the letter P

It is time for the letter P. This year so far I feel I have been setting a cracking pace with these lists of annotated/reviewed blogs of interest.
To be listed, I choose blogs that stay on topic at least 80% of the time, are 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 that when I visit, 8 in 10 posts are on topic. If a blog has not been updated in the last 6 weeks or so I don’t include it as I think readers enjoy current and active blogs.
I often find blogs that are not in English and translate them via Google Translate
For the rest of the alphabet here are the letters A , B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O and now I would like to present the letter P
