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.
Talking to others that enjoy and share your interests provides the opportunity to build friendships. It also lays a wonderful foundation for learning new techniques as well as getting unique and creative ideas from other people. This offers an opportunity to learn what others are doing and it opens up the creative process that includes colors and textures.
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.
These days online communication is abundant. It is somewhat impersonal but is also available to everyone at anytime. Learning skills in a classroom setting was once the way to go. But today with our current technology, one can go online and find a tutorial or training course on just about any subject imaginable. And the greatest thing about it is that it can all be available for review at a later date if a refresher course is needed.
There are obviously pros and cons on this subject. Obviously, the personal connection is lost and relationships are not fostered. But it can also be just what is needed in a world where our time is so limited. Following a blogger who shares a strong interest can provide a connection of sorts as well as new information on the craft you enjoy. It also provides a great way of learning a new skill. If need be, the blog can be reviewed in the future for anyone who feels they need a little reminder on a particular lesson.
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.
This is also a great time to take notes for the serious learners. Although past episodes can be reviewed, taking notes of specific learning techniques that are of interest will provide an easy reference guide. Especially if there was something that stood out and was of special interest.
In this day and age, there are so many ways to enjoy and learn new crafts that does not require leaving home or taking up a large amount of time. With the demands that we have with our careers and families as well as finding time for ourselves, we often are very limited on what we can do for the pure enjoyment of it. Following someone online and learning about their unique craft and how to implement it into the craft you are doing opens up an entirely new classroom for us all.
