Where did everyone go?

[kendiefox]

I've been searching around and I've found a couple of still-updating quilting blogs, but many more from ~2011 that just... vanished. I'm used to that sort of thing, I've been online since ~1997, I understand folks move platforms, but I'm not sure where everyone went to.

Where did sewing and/or quilting move? Craftsy? It seems unwieldy, but I'm used to ravelry and new things are weird. And I really, really do not understand Pinterest. (It comes across like craft tumblr, honestly.)

Since this is a cry for help, the specifics: I've started quilting and would like online resources. Preferably ones updated within the last 5 years? But I'll take what I can get. And if there are relevant blogs to follow or some way of wrangling social media, that would be super rad.

As always, if this isn't cool here, I will happily remove or change the post.

I'm on the outskirts of the sewing communities on Instagram and YouTube (which overlap significantly). I find both of them less-than-great for that community feel as well so I mostly watch/read/lurk, and I hoped to get/create something better over on the Pillowfort sewing comm that was linked above (I'm spinnerlynne over there) but I don't seem to like posting enough to make it happen. :P

I'll keep trying to make myself comfortable both on DW and PF over the next few months but I'm not a productive sewist and my job eats most of my interact-with-humans energy so we'll see if that works out!

Hey, we're low key around here! Post when it works for you, no pressure. Or comment when you feel inspired to do so.

I can't seem to remember that Pillowfort exists often enough to post there. :P And I'm a big fan of threaded comments here, so we'll see what the future holds, yeah?
