Hmm, things to share.

Every now and then, I run across some article or blog or whatever that sort of draws me in and then holds on to me for a while. I often leave a tab open to the last page I visited so that I can easily return to the site. Most recently I've begun keeping a list of sites that I thought I might share with you. The Sewcialists is one that's chock full of interesting articles about sewing. 

A few highlights that I especially like 

• challenges. Though, honestly, I haven't tried any. They do look interesting and are in keeping with the many issues happening in the world. Perhaps I'll get to one eventually. 
• q&a section called "Ask the Sewcialists" that covers any topic you might want to ask, sewing related of course.
• Theme Month. which is self-explanatory.

If you're looking for a new sewing society, this might be the one for you. It's progressive and liberal, so you know going in that there's a hint of politics hovering around but not so much that I was offended or turned off. I prefer to keep politics out of my sewing room (and most of my life).

Another website is called "Wooden Quilts" and is about an artist from New Orleans who writes, "As a visual artist, I work mainly with wood and junk....These wooden quilts are my way of being with the spirits of my late great elders. They are also a way of finding a higher purpose for the pile of debris hurricane Katrina left me with." 

I wish I could show you one of his pieces. Ahh, you would be intrigued. Go visit and see for yourself.

Lastly, I'll remind you that almost every tool in your sewing room comes from a company that has a website with information meant to keep you engaged. Sure, they want to sell you their products, but they also want to inform you, entertain you, and help you. Fiskars is a prime example of such a company. Their website is amazing: beautiful and easy to negotiate. I have spent much too much time perusing. 

I hope that these sites will interest, teach, entertain, engage you.
