Learning New Techniques From A Quilting Blog

By Patty Goff


Everyone has a creative side to their personality. Some people enjoy building things that challenge their imaginations. Others enjoy being crafty and selling their goods at the local craft fairs. Following a Quilting Blog in order to learn new techniques and patterns is a great way to expand your knowledge without leaving their homes.

It is so much more fun when interests are shared with others. Often this is how the very foundation of true and lifelong friendships have been established. Learning skills from each other, discussing ideas and sharing new techniques that increase the quality of your craft provides a common bond, from which new relationships are grown.

Centuries ago, it was not uncommon to meet in groups to share and discuss a common interest. Women would share a new knitting technique, or a new recipe among her friends. It was a time to enjoy each others company while sharing a common craft. This provided good conversation, laughter and excitement over learning something new, all of which fostered friendships.

Today, with all the new electronics and online availability, a new way of communicating and learning has arrived. Many people have established their own blogs, where they talk and discuss a particular subject matter online. Although it does not offer a face to face relationship, many are finding this an easy and fun way to learn new techniques on a common craft without the obligation of finding the time outside their home.

Blogging is the same way. Following someone who is good at what they do and writes about it on a daily basis offers that information to anyone who is interested. You also have the opportunity to leave messages, ask questions and get advice as the writers enjoy engaging with their followers.

Also, following someone who you like and admire allows a level of communication. If you have any comments or questions about the subject at hand, the writers are more than happy to respond to their audience. Bloggers love communicating and discussing their subject with the people they are teaching and welcome the input they receive from those who are following them.

Taking notes and paying close attention to the information provided can increase your skill level as well as your current knowledge on the subject. Just like in a classroom, taking notes and writing down directions can provide a quick reference to a new skill. This also offers the opportunity to discuss what you have learned with family and friends and good notes provides a more accurate account on the subject.

Learning and connecting with other people who share a common interest online is becoming more and more popular. For those of us with career and family obligations, our time seems to be so limited. Following a blogger online who shares your interest and offers advice and new techniques that can improve your craft is very convenient and easy to do.
