In support of quilters belonging to the Quiltsy Team!

Hey, are you a young quilter looking for inspiration?  Go to Etsy.com, click on Community - Teams- Quiltsy Team.  You will find quilters who work in all styles:  Bed Quilts, Wall Hangings, Handbags, Table Runners, Art Quilts, Wearable Art, etc. etc. ect.  Need Help?  Join in the chats.  No problem is too small.  Quilters are a great bunch of people.  It's like having a thousand mothers (and there are some fathers too!) who want to nurture you along.  We're all "hooked" so there's no reason why you should not be also!

After you check them out, stop back by and let me know what you found!


The Art of Quilts Treasury...

Art takes many forms, sculptures, painting on canvas, watercolor on paper, finger painting, etc.  Paintings created with different fabrics and then sandwiched with batting and backing and finally quilting all the layers together can also make wonderful wall hangings.  More often than not the quilting design is the final element equal to if not greater than the base design.  Check out these wonderful works of art and then visit the Etsy.com shop from which they come. While you are there take a few minutes to see all the different handmade creations are available on Etsy.com.  Come back to this Blog and share your favorite findings with me!
