I've learned not to underestimate the crafting community. I was astonished when I saw what Ravelry (https://www.ravelry.com https://www.ravelry.com) grew into. It certainly casts a wider net than a specialized quilting website, but if even a small fraction of the 2 million worldwide members of Ravelry (as of 2.29.2012) found this interesting, one would have an impressive userbase. I've forwarded the project on to my mother :)
- alexpeachey 14y agoThanks for the encouragement. Ravelry for sure has been amazing. I thought I'd clarify though that the tool we're building is for quilting, though we hope later versions will work for other sewing. The community site that is tied to it is for all sewing though, not just quilting. So basically while Ravelry covers fiber based craft, we cover fabric based craft.
