Since I am in what I would call my Sophomore year of quilting, I have been reading a lot of blogs. That seems to be thing to do if you are a quilter is create a blog. Blogs for quilters are my things, diary or work, marketing tool, avenue for networking, and best of all, a teaching tool. I have learned quite a few things from my guild members blogs like getting familiar with the leaders in this craft. The network of quilters is amazing. I followed links to blogs that took me around the world. It is almost like reading a choose your own adventure book for quilters. One evening visited a blog mentioned in a quilting magazine featured on Craftsy that lead to http://mypatchwork.wordpress.com/ BOM that had textured blocks. These are so cool. This will for sure go in my project planning journal for a quilt and or pillow project ideas.
Hi.
This is my blog about quilting and other related stuff. I joined the Oklahoma City chapter of the Modern Quilt Guild in February this year. The members have very cool blogs. So I started this one. I think the name is pretty cool - Solid Notions. Solids because I love solid fabrics. Lucky me my guild was having a solid swap the first meeting I attended. I like them because you can match them up with a print or mix an match among solid colors.
Notions for the other half of my blog name in part because I like gadgets and do-dads. I have more that one can opener (sharp or smooth edge), mixer (hand and stand), more that one sewing machine (bought a Pfaff for my birthday last summer). You catch my drift. I am the same way with my quilt and cloth projects. You'll see me talk lots about rulers, books, patterns, and other fun stuff. My first quilt notion purchase - Creative Color Wheel. Notions also cover essentially what the blog is about an- individuals (me) conception or impression of something known, experienced, or imagined.
