Blog(spot)roll

I would like to fuss at people for not putting one of those kewl "Follower" widgets on their Blogspot pages, because I've just been adding people like crazy and it does make it easier - except I don't have one either. I added it and then I took it off again, because I have exactly one follower and it looked silly. Of course it makes sense that I have no (well, few) followers since I am not really updating these days! Anyway, if you happen to have wandered over here, you might take a look at my profile and you can hopefully see the whole ton of people I'm following. I went through my delicious craft-blogger list and added everybody with a Blogspot blog who seemed to be blogging at all these days - and an amazing number of them are, considering some of them have been on that list for close to five years, I think. That's aeons in internet time!

Quilt above made by Grace Errea of Laguna Niguel CA; shown in the judged show (category: Art-Naturescapes) at the 2006 Houston International Quilt Festival.

We were talking about the fractured quilts a few entries back, and this is really another example, although once again, the quilter has adapted this one in her own way. Grace Errea is another quilter that I've become a bit of a fan of. I particularly like this quilt (and it was at Tactile Architecture last year, so I took another picture) - and when I searched my tags, it turned out that this quilt is also hers.

I googled Grace Errea to see if she had a website, and apparently she doesn't - but I did find a couple more of her quilts via sophie junction, who furthermore took even more pictures at NQA than I took at IQF last year, which makes me feel a little less like a crazy person! (Which frankly, I've been wondering a little bit about lately.)
