A year or two ago, I asked people to name their three favorite quilting blogs, and many of us found new, interesting blogs and bloggers as a result. I'd like to do that again. Don't name mine, and don't name Bonnie Hunter's Quiltville blog--since we're all HERE, we all know my blog, and I don't know anyone who doesn't know Bonnie Hunter, right?
It would be excellent if you could also say what you like about the blogs; i.e., good quilting tips, beautiful photography, funny writing, lots of giveaways, lots of free patterns, the blogger's tastes are just like yours--whatever it is that draws you back again and again. And I'd be okay if you list TWO quilt-related blogs and ONE that's not, as long as the one that's not a quilt-related blog would appeal to the average quilter-type person.
And to get you to participate, I'm doing two things: First, I'm temporarily taking off that thing where you have to decipher and type some random words and numbers to prove you're not a robot when you leave a comment. Second, if you comment about three blogs, you have a chance to win a prize.
Two charm packs--Papillon by Three Sisters--and a Schnibbles pattern called Paganini. Sort of "oldies but goodies" from my stash that I picked for you because I think they'll make a cute, summery little quilt. I'll draw a name from the comments on Sunday night and announce the winner on Monday's blog post.
I'm looking forward to your recommendations. Thanks!

Okay, Kim, here are three of my favorites this time around:
Thimbleanna - Anna's quilts are beautiful, her photographs are lovely and her family stories make me want to live near her. Sigh.
Trends and Traditions - Heather's got great patterns out there that tackle interesting piecing with excellent instructions (read them all the way first). Her binding tutorials are the best on the internet; she teaches us odd angles with directions that really work. And her baby boy is precious!
Block-A-Day - Lily is from down under. Her projects and prose are poetry. Her photos are art. She has such a warm and kind sense of humor that is evident in her blog. I'd like to have a cuppa with her in Oz.
Have fun with these three blogs.
Here I am the first to comment. You said you rarely pick the first one, but I live in WV and get up very early, so I'm in that position again. Here are three of my favoriate.
Red Brolly--lots of nice patterns for download. She also has a shop to order her patterns.
Simplify--She designs fabric and patterns that are to die for. Also good tips and she shows her quilts that she has made that are just beautiful
Trend and Traditions--again a designer with lots of photos of her work. She also knits if you have an interest there. Also, she has a son named Carter that is so hansome. She keeps us up-to-date with photos of him--Darling!!!
Thanks for the chance to win.
Shelia
Whoops, someone beat me in being first. I guess while I was typing she sent hers.

a scrappy quilter, a few medallion mystery she is generously sharing, what's not to love about her blog
http://www.estheraliu.blogspot.com.au/
I loved her block of the month last year ( and was collecting the patterns before my computer died, boo, hiss ) I love Love Entwined and she is starting a second BOM July 15th
and for the non quilty one, because I love cats
http://justcats-deb.blogspot.ca/
Helen
What a great idea Kim!
Life in the Scrapatches--one of my best friends, she does beautiful work and has some great tutorials.
Lovin Life at the End of a Dirt Road... she has a great sense of humor, lives on a big old ranch and I enjoy reading about ranch life as well as seeing her beautiful quilts.
Stitchery Dickory Dock... she has a great sense of humor, does lots of gorgeous quilting things, and talks about her darling kids, which include twin boys.
(I too, really like Trends and Traditions and Thimblanna)
Three favorite blogs? I have so many. These are the three that came to mind today -
Cat Patches - Barb has me interested in embroidery on quilts. She's a great cook, photographer, quilter, writer, gardener and is owned by Smitty, a unique cat.
Sew'n Wild Oaks - Lynn designs fabulous quilts. I'm quilting along on her Country Charmer and have 4 more of her designs on my "to do list." She is generous with help and advise (check out her tutorials). Lynn's blog is happy and cheerful.
Squash House - Candace is fun! Her blog is always a pleasure to read. She shares her travels, her garden, her receipts and quilting. Candace is a cat person - her kitties are very active.
Those are my three for today. Ask me tomorrow and the list would likely change. The Internet allows me to enjoy many wonderful blogs and I've made long distance friends by doing so. Happy quilting.
These 3 are sometimes funny, heart warming, interesting, makes you think outside your box and inspiring:
http://thatlookslikeitneedsstitches.blogspot.com
http://lwkoenig.blogspot.com
http://confessionsofafabricaddict.blogspot.com
I'm so glad you're doing this again - I found a bunch last time!!
OK - I love these (among others!):
http://www.cupcakesndaisies.com/ - TONS of great inspration!
http://thepaintedquilt.blogspot.com/ - This lady is amazing - great personal strength and lots of project ideas!
http://peckspieces.blogspot.com/ - she does great work and has some WONDERFUL patterns to share.
Cannot wait to see everyone's links - YAY!!
Cindy in SC
This is a fun idea - more inspiration for all of us! Hard to pick 3 but here are some that I enjoy:
http://www.hallbrookdesigns.com/blog.html - Missie is a friend and designs some really awesome patterns - I love all of her work.
http://kindredquilts.blogspot.com/ - Kathy works full time and still gets so many projects finished. It's always fun to see what she is doing. Check out her Moravain star - it's amazing!
http://fitquilter.blogspot.com/ - Yvette also has a full time job and accomplishes tons. I have a feeling she never slows down! She usually posts on Sunday to show what she has accomplished during the week.
A really tough choice to make, but I like these three because they do amazing work, generously share ideas and tips, and come across as real people --
Quilting Daze by Darlene
Cupcakes 'n Daisies by Thelma
The Polka Dot Chicken by Carol
Cindy in NC
I started to follow Jenny of Elephantz in early days when it seemed like the Australian style was to include more stitcheries in their quilting. I also like to suggest a couple of Canadian quilters; Quilts by Darlene and Threadhead, both of whom have taught me much with their beautiful work.
How fun! Here are some favs, and why:
Susan's Sewing Space -- because she's Australian and we're so alike!
http://susans-sewing-space.blogspot.com/
The Vintage Bag Lady -- because I love looking at the vintage travel trailers!
http://cheneybaglady.blogspot.com/
And I must add my own blog, 52 Quilts in 52 Weeks, because I have so much fun buying stuff because "it will be a blog post!"
http://www.52quilts.com/
Several of my favorite blogs have already been mentioned & others I know you read, but there are still many more blogs that I read each day.
Love reading Kathie's blog, not only does she show her quilts, but she often shares links to other great blogs.
http://inspiredbyantiquequilts.blogspot.com/
Another favorite blog is Linda's. She shares quilts that she makes, plus ones she sees at shows.
http://quiltsinthebarnaus.blogspot.com
Pam often has quilt alongs, in fact, she just started a new one.
http://heartspunquilts.blogspot.com/
I rarely comment on blogs but keep up with quite a few.
Thelma at Cupcakes & Daisies is so prolific! She has lots of good suggestions & reviews of quilt making tools.
Vanessa at V & Co. is a mom who has lots of fun with her family with hysterical stories at her own expense! She designs interesting fabric, fun patterns & has good, original sewing project ideas!
Nicole at Sister's Choice is my all-time favorite go-to quilting blog! She has beautiful taste & I always find inspiration in her projects. Nicole fits 25 hours into a 24 hour day & her work is flawless!

I am looking forward to finding new sites to browse--thanks. The things that keep me coming back to my favorite blogs are: a good, clear writing style; quilt-related blogs; and, for me, it is important that they blog consistently--every day ideally.
3 of my favorites are:
http://www.patchworktimes.com/--I like that she is a prolific quilter and shares her patterns freely, but also is a genuine person and entertaining writerwho shares her life with her readers-I really feels like a know her.
http://catpatches.blogspot.com/--I love her love of cats as well as her fun quilting projects and her style of writing.
http://www.joscountryjunction.com/-Jo is a 'farm wife'and we catch glimpses of that lifestyle, but her main writing is quilts--she also shares patterns that she and her daughter have designed.
I rarely comment of anyone's blog, but I read several blogs daily ~ it's my fix with my morning coffee! Along with your blog and Bonnie's three of my other favorites are:
PatchworkTimes with Judy Laquidara who is a very productive lady doing quilting, canning, gardening, raising chickens, knitting, shopping with her husband ~ I don't know how she does it all!
WoolieMammoth is also a favorite. She shares many pictures and is a hoot to read as she has a great sense of humor!
Then there is SusanBranch who is not primarily a quilter, but has a great blog with a lot of good recipes, good advice, and is just so upbeat about life you have to love her!

Penny
Thelma at Cupcakes & Daisies always has such good eye candy. I love all the projects that she does and find such inspiration from her.
Nicole at Sister's Choice is another one that I find great inspiration from. She has good advise too.
I also like A Quilting Life and Bee in My Bonnet. Love the things they share and the great pictures.
I see a lot of people have listed Cupcakes & Daisies - love it. I also follow Red Brolly and am working on her Girls Stitching club project. So since those and A Quilting life and Bee in My Bonnet are also listed, I will list Sinta's Pink Pincushion (she does the monthly Schnibble parade with Sherri at Quilting Life. Next would be Jenni at In Color Order - she has the BEST tutorial on folding your fabric!! And for my third is Cynthia at Ahh Quilting. She has great photography and designs the freshest quilts and has some of her patterns for free on her blog.
So glad you are doing this! Sometimes it's hard to see them all but if there are recommendations .....
Mine are ....

(http://karen-logcabinquilter.blogspot.com/)

lavieenrosie.typepad.com - The blog of Carrie Nelson of Miss Rosie's Quilts patterns, she is a very entertaining writer and serves up lots of tips and fun stuff.
hyacinthquiltdesigns.blogspot.com - I see a few other have mentioned Cindy; she is a traditional quilter moving in the direction of "modern" and nudging me along with her. Great designs and use of color in her projects.

Cindy in SC
Here are 3 that I find inspirational:
http://naptimequilter.blogspot.ca/
http://crazymomquilts.blogspot.ca/
http://www.ohfransson.com/
The first two are authors of 'Sunday Morning Quilts' and have lots of quilts on their blogs.
The third blog is Elizabeth Hartman's and she has two great books - 'Modern Patchwork' and 'The Practical Guide to Patchwork'. Although these quilters are 'modern' quilters and I am very much a 'traditional' quilter, their quilts are not overly simplistic and show some creativity.
Many of the other bloggers that I follow have already been mentioned.
Oh my. I can't get much sewing done for looking at the wonderful blogs. Some of my favorites are:
Cupcakes and Daises
Sisters Choice
A Quilting Life
Which have all been mentioned. I also like Mama Spark's World and Freda's Hive.
The Painted Quilt - lots of free patterns.
The Tulip Patch - informative tutorials
Sew Mama Sew - full of information, tutorials and patterns
Great post! Great idea! As it seems that most people have named some pretty good blogs already, and most of them are fairly well known. I'd like to add -
Pat Wys - http://www.silverthimblequilt.com/
Talk about a funny lady!! She keeps me in stitches, literally.
Wendy Shephard -
http://ivoryspring.wordpress.com/
Now this lady can really machine quilt. On her domestic sewing machine! Love her quilting.
Cluck Cluck Sew - http://www.cluckclucksew.com/
Lots of creativity, and lots of free tutorials. I use a lot of her patterns.
My three that you may not have heard of are 44th street fabric, A quilt and a prayer, and cowgirl quilter. I have enjoyed reading the other comments.
Ok I am a new quilting blog follower and recently started my own...My top three besides yours would be:
1. beeinmybonet--I am in love with Lori Holt's tutorials and fabrics. I just started her row along and plan on doing her barn along next. Plus, she has so many links to other wonderful blogs.
2. thepaintedquilt.blogspot--I am doing Kaaren's Happy Scrappy Spring BOM and like her Friday Freebies.
3. aquiltinglife--it is so inspirational and informative. She is the one that has totally got me pining to make lots of Schnibbles quilts.

They both show beautiful quilts and stitchery items. Another blog I like is Thelma's Cupcake and Daisies. She is so prolific!
Simplify: because I love the quilts Camille creates.
Cotton Way: because I also love Bonnie's quilts and she is Camille's business partner as well as her mother.
Sew Simple: because I love her Tuesday tool time information
Very difficult to choose only three as I probably spend more time reading blogs then I do quilting
1 On The Go Quilting I LOVE her Friday Finds!

Quiltmamma@aol.com
I am a follower of about 420 blogs - quilting and sewing related!! I really love lots and lots of them so I had to ask myself..."If you were to reccommend 3 to a friend, which would they be?" Here they are:
(1) Sew WE Quilt with Madame Samm She is the force behind so many wonderful blog hops which I enjoy and I love her humor. She babysat me as I started reading and following blogs. Where would I be without her?!!
(2)Just Let Me Quilt with Carol. She does marvelous work and has always been generous with her helpfulness and thoughtfulness.
(3) Jane's Fabrics and Quilts with, of course, Jane. She was another of my first bloggers and has inspired me and encouraged my journey.
(4) OK - I just have to add one more... Bee In My Bonnet with Lori is a marvelous blog. I love her tutorials - she is so clear with instructions and pictures. She is also a designer and I love her fabrics!!
That's it...OR can I add ALL the ones I follow??? lol
Kim! I took about a 6 month break from reading blogs - and just had to check in here! I've missed your humor and talent!
My fav blogs -
definitely A Little Bit Biased
also - Kay Mackenzie's applique blog, and I've been following the Quilted Fish since before she was "huge"!!!
I'm such a blog hound but my three favorites would be:
whataloadascrap.blogspot.com
humblequilts.blogspot.com and "Life is a Stitch"..the thriftyquilter.blogspot.com
Diann..kyquiltymama.hotmail.com
I'm late to the party and loved reading through everybody's comments. I thought I'd add two more blogs to the must-check-list. Molly Flanders blog, written by Mary, is my favourite blog. She is generous with her information about why she chose what, nice tutorials, and I just love everything she does. Svetlana from s.o.t.a.k. handmade also has a wonderful colour sense.
My favorites are
My Current Obsessions http://quiltingisstillmypassion.blogspot.com/ She just started blogging again after a long hiatus. She's a prolific quilter, knitter, spinner and all around neat person.
I really enjoy Carol's Crafty Creations http://carolscraftblog.blogspot.com/ She's a fun quilter and has the cutest Boston terriers you ever saw.
My Sunday treat blog is Patchwork Times. Everyone probably already reads this one but Judy is also knitter in addition to quilting plus she's a gardener and has the funniest chicken stories!
I'm glad you did this again, too. I found a lot of new blogs after you did this last year. My top three would be: Jos' country Junction ( I like her because she does so much. She writes everyday, includes free patterns and talks about her life). Cupcakes and Daisies ( her quilts are beautiful and I follow a lot of her favorites, too on her side bar) and Blogging Near Philadelphia (I like the way Nancy talks and the quilts she's making). Thanks
Thanks for doing this. I see quite a few that I haven't heard of before. I can't wait to check them out.
My three favorites, besides yours, of course, are: Pat Sloan at http://patsloan.typepad.com.
Judy Laquidara is a friend in real life. She has already been mentioned.
I love the blog Sew Many Ways at http://sewmanyways.blogspot.com
