Where are your favorite quilting blogs?

November 15, 2015 10:10 AM

I have been getting into quilting lately, and I love looking at pictures of beautiful quilts out there that other people have made. Do you have any quilt blogs that you follow and love?

Also, I love having videos running while I'm actually working on my quilt, so any suggestions of youtube channels to follow are also welcome. The Missouri Star Quilt channel is just the sort of thing that I'm looking for.

If you just want to look at quilts, Instagram has around 500,000 of them!

Best answer: I started quilting in 2009 (and asked about quilting books back then) and draw lots of inspiration from quilting blogs and the photos quilters post to Flickr. Some of my favorites, all of the modern quilt(er)s:

• Film in the Fridge
• she can quilt
• tallgrass prairie studio
• Quilts My Way (bilingual in English and Polish, look at her Pansy Quilt!)
• noodlehead
• owen's olivia
• Piece and Press (which sadly hasn't been updated recently, but check out the beautiful and unique projects in the archive; Dan Rouse's style is unlike anything else I've seen so far)
• Spotted Stones (I especially like some of her older projects, like this wall hanging
• red pepper quilts
• Oh Fransson by Elizabeth Hartman (the website seems to have a technical problem right now, sorry)
• blue elephant stitches
• s.o.t.a.k handmade
• Quilts on Bastings features beautiful and elaborate quilting
• Moda Bake Shop has lots of tutorials with step-by-step instructions
• Leah Day has a great blog with a lot of video tutorials for quilting, and hundreds more quilting designs can be found at her Free Motion Quilting Project
• Not a weblog, but a collection of beautifully designed and executed modern qulits: Ann Stewart

I'm not a quilter, but my friend Karen McTavish is has some nice street cred in the quilting world and has tons of quilting information strewn out about the internet. Google her and you should find a little bit of everything you are looking for.

If you're looking for a way to scan a lot of blogs for quilters whose style speaks to you, Amy's Creative Side hosts a semi-annual online quilt festival. Bloggers submit their work, and there are prizes in lots of different categories.

That's a great list from amf! I also like Latifah Saafir, completely cauchy, and Rossie Hutchinson who's also the person behind this great Flickr pool.
