More Gizmos on Quilting Questions Answered

In my continued attempt to achieve complete internet domination (my daughter's words, not mine!) I have added some new stuff to my Quilting Lens on Squidoo, principally a neat colour wheel that you can play with, and which explains colour theory, albeit in a basic form. It does make the whole colour matching and toning thing easier. One of the main problems many new quilters have is how to choose which colours to put together and using a colour wheel for the first time can be daunting, especially if you don't always trust your won judgement!

There are also some new links and bits and pieces to gladden your eyes so drop by and visit - don't forget to leave a note in the guestbook!

Cool Quilts For My Mum

I found this really sweet video today - well the video was of loads of excellent quilts at an exhibition. The reason behind was the 'sweet' part. A young man had taken the video of an Exhibition at his school and posted it so his Mum could see the Quilts - it really touched me. If only they were all like that! You can see the video by clicking here. Enjoy!

Hitting the Top 100

I'm absolutely delighted today - my newest quilting lens has hit the top 100 on Squidoo! Small pause while I do a happy dance, you don't have to watch! :) It's so nice to see something craft related getting some exposure - even if it is mine, please don't forget you can add your quilting site to the Links Lists and get some viewers to your site as well.

I've added some new links myself today as well, I found some wonderful patterns whilst 'Stumbling' around the net as you do on a Saturday afternoon when having a cup of Tea. I still haven't quite cracked the cyber tea and cake thing but if anyone does ........
