If you’ve participated in sewing blog world for long, whether as a reader or a sew-a-long-er or a link partier or whateeeever part of it draws you in, you’ve probably noticed something. It’s FULL of helpful, positive, encouraging people. If you have a question, someone has a helpful answer. If you have a niche-y interest, someone else, and likely lots of someone elses, share it.
But long before we had Pinterest to help scout out the good stuff Anne Weaver of Craft Gossip was scouting and sharing. I really don’t know how she did it in the early days, and even now her head must explode daily with all that she filters and shares. She’s a friend to many sewing bloggers and today a bunch of us/them are celebrating her. Talk about kind and helpful! She’s been a leader in sewing blog world for years and her encouragement of blogs of all sizes and styles is and has been SO appreciated. This feels like there’s an announcement coming, doesn’t it? Nope. She’s not going anywhere that I know of. Just a random choice to make today YAY ANNE DAY!
In addition to running the sewing page for Craft Gossip, she has her own blog. Here’s my favorite post from Orange Bettie – She has the best sense of humor and quirky style!

I love that crazy cat tree. I just about died when I saw it over the holidays!! So fab.
Anne Weaver is truly the best. Her blog style is generous, lively, and always new. Her treatment of others who blog and sew is genuinely friendly. She is a fountain of ideas and enthusiasm. She’s brilliant at spotting and sharing trends. And she’s a genius at finding the simplest, easiest-to-understand method of sewing ANYTHING. I’m so glad her talent, humor, and kindness are being honored! Love you, Annie!
Anne has the best “iSpy” powers out there! Love how she always shares fantastic scoop in our world. ps- That tree is the best!!
I’m so lucky to have Anne as my sister!!! Free sewing advice anytime is the least of it. Thank you everyone for celebrating her. :)

I was happy to hear about Anne and her blog…will certainly follow.
Anne is the epitome of the “pay it forward” philosophy.

Thank You Anne for all you do!!
Anne’s site is such a treasure…I can’t even say how many tutorials I’ve bookmarked off of CraftGossip. Thanks so much for all that you do, Anne! (And as someone who has been reblogged, it really is such an honor!).
