Google Reader Quilting Overload
Tip: No quilter is an island. At least, I suspect none are. Maybe a few. Point being, talking to other quilters and seeing their designs and finished products is absolutely inspiring. I’m a recent convert to Google Reader… I’ve been bumbling around using bookmarks and my fading memory. Having been using it for about a week now, I’m a true believer – it’s so stinking easy to use and add feeds to! While it loses the feel of the pages themselves (the templates are not loaded, it’s all stripped down,) if I want to see the original post, it’s a simple matter of clicking on the title and a new page opens up with the site itself. Oh, it makes it so much easier to keep up.
Here are the sites I’m currently following on Google Reader – most quilting, some not – I find to be sources of ideas and motivation:

Anna Maria Horner – Fabrics, sewing, other

Erin Ammons – Friend from work, fellow new sewist
