Enjoying The Net.
Posted on | August 15, 2011 | 7 Comments
One of the things I thoroughly enjoy about the Internet, and blogs specifically, is that so many people are prepared to share their wonderful ideas.
This week I have have enjoyed making several items using tutorials from blogs.
The first one is the S’Mitten Quilt from Erin Russek on her blog One Piece at a Time. I had a trial run using blues and reds in the mittens. I like the end result so now I can make the rest of the blocks. Thank you Erin for a wonderful pattern.
Another blog with lots of ideas is Bugs and Fishes by Laura Howard. Laura had a wonderful tutorial for felt owls. Thank you, Laura.
Mine is complete and now just needs filling.
Another blog I regularly visit is The House On The Side Of The Hill. Melody often highlights some lovely tutorials for a variety of crafts – especially on the days for The Teddy Bear’s Picnic. Thank you, Melody.
There are so many ideas out there and definitely not enough time!
I love the colours you used for your owl! Thanks so much for mentioning my blog & tutorial. Would it be okay for me to include your photo in a blog post about the owls people have been making using my tutorial? I would credit you and include a link to your blog. Laura x
Hi! Greetings from the other side of the world! So happy to find your Blog! It’s my first time I found a quilter in Aurstralia! Your works are fantastic!!!
Hello Karen,
I have to agree the net is a great recource. We won’t mention the time we spend here though, its all in the name of research isn’t it???
Love the owls and I wonder what the mittens will become.
Happy days.

I like that owl! I’m going to have to go and check it out. Thanks!
You have been busy making really cute things. Ditto on the time issue!
I haven’t heard of the first two but I love those projects!! I love Melody’s blog! She does the most beautiful work and does so much linking and promoting the bloggy community.
I am always grateful and amazed at how generous people are, without them I would not be quilting today. The internet is the only way I can learn and I would like to add a big THANK YOU to everyone who shares their ideas and tutorials on line.
