I just have to give a blog shout out to my friend Alexis who blogs over at Persia Lou. She was recently featured in the latest issue of Homespun Magazine on how to start a craft blog. Isn’t that great?

Now here’s the funny thing about us. She lives right down the street from me and we’ve been friends for years. But often, weeks will go by without us hanging out or even talking (because we are both too busy sewing or blogging). Thank goodness that we can still keep in touch daily via each other’s blogs, LOL!

Persia Lou Featured in Australian Homespun Magazine

Alexis has inspired me to be a better blogger (hers is amazing), and I’ve encouraged her to explore her “quilty” side when she recently re-decorated her kids’ bedroom in an adorable vintage Disney theme. She made these two Herringbone quilts below using my Chevron Quilt Along tutorials in a single color palette.

So check out her blog – she does all kinds of amazing crafts: sewing, crochet, home decorating, and more. Every time I go to her house, she’s finished something new and it’s very inspiring. Way to go, Alexis! 🙂
