Social media is a great place to meet and greet other quilters, quilt professionals and manufacturers or distributors of quilt-related merchandise. Where else can you have 2000 friends and only a couple dozen are family members? Where else can you get (mostly) positive feedback on something you’ve accomplished and want to show it off to the your quilt world?
It’s also a great place to pick quilter’s brains! Recently, I took an informal poll and asked my Facebook quilt friends: “What are the TOP FIVE quilt notions you would recommend for a beginning quilter?” The results were somewhat varied but what it really did was to make me put some thought into my own top five quilt notions that I would suggest to a beginning quilter.
