Now that I am headed in the right direction, I will add to them here. I read about art quilting on the internet and in books about 3 hours daily. Some days it is heavier in one media than another. Overall, it evens out. I am fortunate enough to be able to create all day, most every day. Thank you for keeping me motivated.

I would guess about half an hour, unless there are tempting looking links to other quilters - and there usually are - which takes me happily off down unexpected by-ways. Definitely read more than I blog-surf.

I usually go on-line in the evening when the rest of the house has gone to bed and suddenly its very late and I have meandered all over the place - as you know - one things leads to another. I am also very naughty with books. I borrow them from the library and then simply HAVE to own them. Thank goodness for on-line shopping. But all this looking/reading does inspire me and comes out in my quilts so its an investment in time :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519632209878236029.post-36114947702400224552011-03-08T13:48:41.612-08:002011-03-08T13:48:41.612-08:00I spend lots of time reading blogs, much more than...I spend lots of time reading blogs, much more than books, although I try to make time for that too.mjbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07270657379178402124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519632209878236029.post-4168419294900523942011-03-08T13:18:30.381-08:002011-03-08T13:18:30.381-08:00I usually read blogs in the morning and read books...I usually read blogs in the morning and read books in the evening.
