I Just put out a newsletter (CLICK HERE to read online)... it is a catch up kind of newsletter. One thing I touched on.. and thought I'd write more here.. is about how/why/where I chat online
I love my internet chats, it's a nice break from working by myself.
I can check in, see pretty pictures, share what my day is like.
But I know YOU are not at all the online sposts..
and neither am I.
Nobody can be at ALL of them. But I sort of TRY to.. wink!
You may only be on Facebook, and read my blog.
Or maybe you just do Instagram
Or you are twitter crazy and read my newsletter, which comes in your email box.
I want to share where you can find me, and WHAT I talk about at each place.
It is a bit different at each spot. I don't duplicate all my posts across place... because frankly that would be a total bore for ME and YOU.
So share we get to it?
my Blog - http://blog.patsloan.com/
--Here at my blog I tend to talk about a project, interview, fabric, or my travels. often with loads of photos. You can subscribe by email ----> see the right sidebar
my Internet Quilt group http://www.Quiltmashup.com
--The internet group is more detailed. I will have more instantaneous conversation with you and share more personal things. I might talk about food/exercise and books. I might talk about what it's like to REALLY have jet lag and be miserable for a few days to catch up. We celebrate birthdays with virtual cake and we support each other. Here it is like a sewing Bee. More direct, more personal. I have hosted an internet quilt group for about 10 years. The group is fantastic and we'd love to have you join us!
Facebook for some fun! http://www.facebook.com/PatSloanQuiltFun
---Facebook is so great for sharing photos from across the internet, a place to ask a ton of quilters a question about something, and sharing each other's work with ease. I can do a short note, not like my blog where I write more. I post a few times a day and love being on there first thing in the morning and after dinner.. checking up on the news of the day!
YouTube channel http://www.youtube.com/user/PatSloan
---Videos!!! Subscribe so you get the new ones right away.. like TODAY!
pinterest http://pinterest.com/patsloan/
-- I use pinterest to create boards (folders) of photos that are inspiring. From Quilts to quotes to things to make for dinner! I love seeing what others find inspirational too.
Instagram http://instagram.com/quilterpatsloan?ref=badge#
---ok.. this one is growing on me. I take quick little photos.. write a note and SHARE! These also post to my Facebook and Twitter.. and you can see them on the right side bar here at my blog.What I find fun is that so many quilters are sharing their projects AS THEY MAKE THEM.... good mail days as they come in.. snippets of their life.... be it children, shopping, hanging with friends. I love that part!
twitter http://twitter.com/QuilterPatSloan
----Just quick little thoughts! And on Tues night a bunch of quilters ALL get onto twitter and chat about STUFF.. it's called #talknt. You can also read my twitter comments on the right side bar!
Google Plus https://plus.google.com/u/0/104262427243384245504/posts
--- I am experimenting with Google+ There are not many quilters there sharing ... yet.. so join me if you are!
WHERE is your favorite Quilt Place online?
The fabric is yardage that goes with my layer cake I'm using to make Amy Gibson's Sugar Block Club. I have been sewing in stolen moments of time, 5 min here, 10 min there.. and I'm almost caught up! In a few days I'll show you all 6 blocks. This is my version of a 'low volumne quilt. It is super low contrast (for me!)
