There is a great new blog out there in blogland showing us some great creative stuff. Joelle, owner of SoHo shops, Purl (knitting) and Purl Patchwork (quilting) has launched a new web log called the Purl Bee.

I got a chance to hang out with, the “purl girls”, Joelle and her sister, Jen, at Quilt Market this spring. They are creative "go-getters"...I am looking forward to following their blog regularly.

Here is a welcome note from Joelle from "the purl bee":

Welcome to the Purl Bee, the web log for Purl and Purl Patchwork. We love to explore the creative world of craft bloggers; these diverse voices inspire us in our own work and make us feel like part of a huge community.

 Wee wonderfuls, one of our favorite blogs, comes from a Chicago artist named Hillary Lang. Her playful illustrations and darling toys are funny and smart. We are very happy to welcome her Kitty, Bunny, and Bear pattern booklet to Purl. (Book shown in photo--retails for $10 at purl.))

 This trio of patterns is a perfect launchpad for your own huggable friends. You can visit Hillary's website to see more patterns and projects. Thanks Hillary, for sharing your creativity with us!

See more about this book and other projects at this hip and happening blog.

Good Luck, Joelle and Jen. Looking forward to some great reads and ideas.
