Learning New Techniques From A Quilting Blog

By Patty Goff


Creativity comes in many forms and styles. Some people love to paint while others like to build and create things with their hands. Some enjoy sewing, knitting and making garments for their family. Finding a good Quilting Blog can be fun, interesting and very educational in the effort to learn new ways of creating something beautiful.

This is a great way to build new relationships and enjoy others who share the same interests. It also provides a great opportunity for everyone to share their experiences so that others can learn from them. The creative juices often flow smoother when engaged with others who share ideas and offer advice on new techniques.

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.

Although communicating on the internet seems a bit impersonal, it really is quite efficient. Especially if the blog is something that is more about teaching a technique. Unlike a classroom or learning one on one, you can go back and review the episode that you need in order to see what may have been missed. This is a great teaching tool and one that is of great help to those who have memory problems.

There is a level of communication even with online interaction. Bloggers welcome curiosity from their fans. They invite questions and comments and enjoy interacting and discussing subjects with them. They enjoy the feedback that is offered and often use that as a learning tool for themselves, which in turn, improves their blog.

Taking notes and keeping a journal is a great idea for those who are serious about their craft. Blogs can always be reviewed in the future but having a notebook available for a quick reference is helpful.

We are living in a time where opportunities to learn and grow is easier than ever. Online classes allow people to get their education without ever leaving home. With all the obligations we have these days, there seems to be very little time for the things we really enjoy doing. Most of us are so busy with our careers, family and home, there just doesn't ever seem to be enough time to do anything else. But finding a good blogger that shares a strong interest can be an easy and convenient way to learn a new skill or enhance one that you already have without having to take time away from home.
