Lists of Fabulous Information at September Showcase – Quilting & Patchwork Included

Lists of information for readers, who desire resources but don’t necessarily have a great deal of time searching for them, have become increasingly popular. The b5media Arts & Design Channel’s September Showcase fits right into this trend.

William Lehman, at Artist Hideout, has done a great job compiling this round-up. You’ll want to check out these “live list about lists” from the various Arts & Design blogs.

My Quilting and Patchwork list involves 10 Quilting Sites & Blogs That Excite Me.

If you’d like your blog or web site included in my next list, simply leave a comment and let me know about it. I think this would be fun to have as a monthly post…more frequently if I hear from more quilters, fabric artists and mixed media participants.

Quilting & Patchwork Participates in Artist Showcase

Quilting & Patchwork participates in the February b5Media Artist Showcase , “From the Heart.” hosted by Noreen Crone-Findlay. I was so captivated by my daughter’s fabric Valentine postcards that I wanted to share them with my readers and at the showcase, in my post, “Creating Valentine’s Day Fabric Postcards.”

Other bloggers in b5 Media’s Arts & Crafts channel have shared ideas and projects with a “to the heart” theme. Enjoy!

Digital Cameras Handy for Quilters

I see my daughter using her digital camera more and more in her quilting activities. No, she hasn’t developed a way quilt with it! But it’s so handy for taking photos of her work…for her own records, to post on her Meandering Treads blog, to post on other blogs, to send to groups for quilt and block exchanges, to take photos of scenery and natural objects the out-of-doors for quilting inspiration.

She has found, for best results when taking her photos, she needs to use a tripod. Otherwise there often is some blurring, or lack of focus, of the image. Tonight she was photographing a small hanging she’s entering in a quilt exchange one of her online groups is conducting.

Since I’ve not learned all the intricacies of the digital camera, I often have her take photos for me, like the one at Artist Hideout of my fabric postcard.
