...one of my favourite blogs, True Up, is going off line; I've been blogging for 7 years now and, while I've definitely seen a few bloggers call it quits, it never fails to sadden me when it involves a blog I've been following religiously such as True Up. For those of you who have never read True Up, to put it simply, it's a blog all about fabric for the "fabric-obsessed" which, my family would definitely say, fits me to a T! Penned by Kim Kight, an avid fabric collector herself, this blog is not about the sewing of fabric but more about the actual fabric itself, showcasing not only the newest prints featured at the biggest fabric shows around, but also vintage ones that can still be found today; in other words, it's my version of a very yummy candy store! Kim posted very regularly, often attending the big quilt market shows in the US after which she would always post about many of the market stalls and all the new goodies coming out of the many different fabric companies. (Oh, how I will miss those posts!) True Up has been part of my daily blog-browsing routine (not suprisingly, it is on top of my browser history list!) for quite a while now and I will miss it sorely...
However, all is not lost since, in Kim's latest post where she talks about her reasons for calling it quits, she mentions being open to selling the blog... Anyone interested? In the meantime, I am going to have to find myself another blog tailored for the "fabric-obsessed", although I do have my doubts as to there being one that will be able to replace True Up for me. Do you know of any? If you do, please, please share with us! (Perhaps, I could even get together a list in my sidebar of fabric blogs for the fabric-obsessed... ) Kim is still planning on staying involved in the industry and will be announcing shortly a new venture of hers that will still involve an online presence in some form or another. Well, best of luck with that, Kim!
'Just a little note to those of you who are interested in checking out my new batch of pillowcases: I will be starting to list some of these today in my Etsy shop and continue throughout the next few days. Thanks for popping by and I'd like to wish all of you Canadians out there, a very happy and cosy Thanksgiving weekend with lots of yummy turkey (mmm, can't wait!)...
P.S. Some of you have been asking how to subscribe to my posts via email so I finally put a Feedburner link in my right sidebar. (Yes, I can be a bit slow with these things...)
