TheCraftyNeedle.com

A great example of a modern blog that is revising and reimagining an ancient craft. The Crafty Needle specializes in all things sewing, embroidery, and quilting related. While these may seem like well-trodden disciplines, this blog regularly invites cutting-edge specialists in to reveal their newly discovered tips and techniques. The content also focuses on trending sewing fashions and how home sewers and quilters can make garments that are both contemporary while also achievable craft projects.

I love this site both because of the modern twist they put on needlework, but also because the design is awesome and fresh – a far cry from the overly cutesy and often amateur look of many hobbyist craft bloggers.
