Givin' a little blog lovin' to BLOGLOVIN'

In case you don't know, here is the best way to follow all your blogs in one place: BLOGLOVIN'

This is an essential tool to quickly seeing everything that is new and newsworthy in the quilting and sewing world (or any world for that matter).

If you have not done so, go quickly to www.bloglovin.com and set up an account for yourself.
Then, ADD  http://henryglassfabrics.blogspot.com/ as your first blog to follow.

What you will get everyday, on your phone if you download the Bloglovin' app, or online when you go to the site, is a running roll of all the blogs you follow. You can read them right there and then, or you can Save them for later. You can Mark as Read so they don't show up in your feed again, and you can search out other blogs that may interest you quite easily.


Here is a screenshot of a running feed. It has just the first few lines, plus a picture from the blog so you get an idea if you're interested to read further. .

Now, after you have gotten BlogLovin' set up, and are really wanting to add your favorite quilting blogs to it, I have curated a list of over 500 blogs of quilters, sewers and crafters that we follow on BlogLovin' to give you a head start. 

You are welcome to use the many hours of curating efforts we have spent to start your own blog feed on BlogLovin'.

We LOVE YOU Giveaway

GIVEAWAY CLOSED.

Thanks for all of the love that you gave us yesterday! We loved reading all of the comments and it is fun for us to read about your likes and dislikes. The wide range and sometimes polar opposite opinions amazed us. For example, some loved lime green whereas others were not so keen on it. We are sure that today's answers will provide an equally interesting read.

Today's featured fabric to give away is the ... and Sew On Line. Dress forms, scissors, and sewing machines are some of the adorable elements in this collection for sewing enthusiasts.

Here's a sampling of the prints in this fun collection. The rest of the line is featured on the Henry Glass website here and the free project downloads accompanying the line are fun.

 

Yesterday it was about color. Today, we'd like to know what sort of prints you like. Chevrons, flowers and woodland critters like owls have been very popular in the past few years. What sort of prints would you like to see more of? Which prints would you like to see less of?  Graphics, textures and plaids? Kids novelty? Seasonal collections like Christmas? 

Remember, there is no right or wrong answer. Just leave your answer here on the blog or on Facebook. We will select a winner of the bundle of fabric. [Selection is random and the fabric is our choice.] Giveaway ends Sunday, February 16th at midnight.

Good luck!
