Michele Bilyeu: Free Tutorials


If you follow my blog, or even just visit from time to time, you have probably figured out by now, that blogging for me is actually one of my very favorite ways of sharing with others as I create quilted or textile art projects for others.



It is my tangible and historical connection through my words, photos, free tutorials and connecting links in ways that my life of personal service may not. So when, I make new lists, or update old ones, I am sharing from my heart, in all ways, to yours. 



Enjoy! And please do feel free to link up to this or any other blog post where I share my lists using the link and a photo from that post. Bookmark me and come again and again.

And I love comments so if you ever make anything I share, please share back and I'll share your work, as well as my own!
