I use Twitter to send out interesting links that I find as I'm out wandering across the Web. It occurred to me last night that many of you most likely do NOT 'do' Twitter ... so I thought I'd share my most recent Tweets with you. These are not just quilting links, they might also cover stitchery, wool work, beading, etc. (like most of you, I have wide-ranging interests:). Hope you enjoy these (when the link address runs over a line, be sure to copy the entire thing and paste it into your browser ... Just a note -- 'tute' is short for 'tutorial'.)
