Quiltcetera is a free quilting tutorial and pattern site. Bradie Sparrow, known as quiltcetera at Grazr.com, says she has loved Grazr widgets ever since her husband recommended them as a way to make answering quilting questions easier.
“I keep close track of the most frequently asked questions and often blog about them or make a video and upload it to Youtube,” Sparrow says. “I have used these formats in the past to send new quilters to find answers. I was finding it quite time consuming to keep blogging every time I got a question and found my blog crowded with outbound links. I asked my husband to find me something I could use to better organize my lists of feeds and links. He came back to me a day later with a huge smile on his face, promising that he had just found a site that would more than solve all my problems.”
Sparrow says she’s found Grazr widgets to be even better than claimed. She uses the widgets to compile lists of links to products people ask about often. ”I receive a few e-mails every day particularly about long arm quilting machines, so I built a grazr (grazr.com/read/quiltcetera/c432e0f1) to show new quilters which Long arm quilting machines I recommend. I load this grazr’s widget into my site and any time I
modify the list in my grazr account the widget on my blog will be immediately updated. I can load this widget into as many site as I like and they will all update automatically.”
Live eBay feeds make great Grazrs for quiltcetera as well. “What’s best about these Grazrs is that I can run the live widget and visitors can search eBay live feeds without leaving my site.” Here is an example of a Grazr Sparrow uses for Long Arm Quilting Machines for sale on eBay: grazr.com/read/quiltcetera/c276e361.”
Sparrow say she’d love to see an interactive community surrounding Grazr.com. “This would allow users to
rate other [widgets] and more importantly, comment on them as well as recommend other links to the creator of the original list.”

My goodness, David. How much time can one person spend checking out social media, music, and technology resources? I stopped counting at 110 feeds and there were still many, many more included in this one widget. It’s a good thing Grazr widgets are not CPU intensive. People with this much time on their hands are scary. Good thing we can all just make a copy instead of spending five days putting a widget together, like David.
