Anyway today I'm going to share the videos or 'vlogs' (video blogs) that I watch. Not many of them are quilting ones, but tend to be knitting/crochet ones. I hope you will share those you watch.
Missouri Star Quilt Company - I love seeing Jenny Doan's demonstrations most Friday's and I like the way she breaks a block design down so that anyone can make it.
Just Get It Done Quilts - Canadian quilter Karen is another tutor who breaks down quilt blocks, but also shares strategies to organise your fabrics and tools. This month she also talks about planning using a bullet journal.
Sewn Up by Teresa Down Under - This isn't a spoken tutorial but is animated with some cheery music.
The Gourmet Quilter - Susan is a New Zealand Quilter who you may have seen at Festival of Quilts last summer. She runs a daily block programme, but she also shares quilting tips.
Jenny Smith Sews - short videos with quilters about the quilts that mean a lot to them.
Fat Quarter Quilt Shop - An American shop that has demonstrations by guest quilters.
I also watch some textile YT videos too. Recent ones I've discovered are:
Arnold's Attic - I've been working my way through watching her short 'Meet the Artist' series, which has been interesting in introducing textile artists.
Kathleen Laurel Sage - Does short videos on her textile and embroidery techniques.
The following are knitting/crochet ones that I follow:
Stranded Dyeworks - aka Amy Florence - a dyer, knitter and crocheter who has recently moved to Scotland. I like her style of video - nearly always with a weather forecast at the beginning!
Craft House Magic - Ellie from Norwich, who dyes her yarn, also knits, crochets and sews garments. What doesn't she do!
Crafternoon Treats - Kathryn is another dyer and Stylecraft Blog Star. She dyes yarn, crochets and designs crochet patterns.
The Bakery Bears - Their videos are long, so I cut down the viewing into sections to watch this. A husband and wife team, they knit and crochet and Kay designs knitting patterns. They add in other subjects like the Pudding Club or exploring the local area. They also have a radio podcast too which is handy to listen too while I'm sewing.
Little Drops of Wonderful - Ali is very chatty with her knitting and crochet projects and videos usually once a month, although some months does some 'vlogs' on a daily basis.
Not Enough Yarn - An ironic title as Lesley has plenty of yarn but never enough to complete a whole project! She compiles short videos over the month to present at the end of the month.
Cherry Heart - Sandra is a crochet designer (you may have seen her designs in UK crochet magazines) and I've watched her videos for some time. She is also a Stylecraft blog start
And some other YT videos I like to watch that don't come into any of the above categories
All the Stations - Geoff and Vicki explore stations on the UK rail system and Vicki has recently started exploring towns and cities.
The Last Homely House East of the Sea - Kate paper crafts, sews, knits, keeps chickens, bees and cats. One of the cats, Norma, never wants to be left out of a video!
So there you have it - that's just a selection of the You Tube videos that I watch. In case you're wondering, I do have time to do things and I'm usually knitting, crocheting or doing some hand sewing so I'm not doing nothing!!
What are yours - anything you like to watch??
