Monday Browsing 09-12-11

After being gone for three weeks and not reading any Blogs or "digests" I spent part of today trying to catch up.  I only save a backlog of a week on the digests since I know I will never be able to go back and read hundreds of messages, but just two days worth gave me a lot of interesting information.  Below are some that I found especially interesting.  But first here are "46 Seconds of Tranquility".

http://www.designerann.blogspot.com/   Interesting to see a survey of her work over several years.  And don't miss her favorite videos in the side bar under Favorite Sites

http://shiborigirl.wordpress.com/  The lady who creates those ribbons.  Many fascinating pages.
http://spiritcloth.typepad.com/spirit_cloth/home-base-patchwork.html  Interesting thoughts on improvisational designing
http://spiritcloth.typepad.com/spirit_cloth/   Gentle words and thoughts and a magic feather project.

Dena explains, "As partial requirement for my quilt judge certification through the South African Quilt Guild, I wrote a scholarly paper on 'How Patchwork Changes Women’s Lives.' ” 
I printed it out to read later - it runs about 50 pages!

I'm totally out of the loop too. I've been driving up and down and around and back...no time to do much of anything! I, too, feel out of touch. Hope your trip was lovely!
