Welcome to the 190th Daily Edition of the Daily Qurator. Below you will find some awesome members of @qurator that worked hard to post some good quality content for all you awesome Steemians to enjoy!

The @qurator project was created to help give Steemians some extra exposure and awesome upvotes currently worth around $0.03 - $7.25!

Note: some of you have been curated twice since the start of the daily qurator and some have been curated only once. As the Daily Qurator is gaining fame with every passing day, many new steemians are asking/will ask to join us. So, expect to see posts from new users for now. When the opportunity arises, posts from older users will be curated once again

Thankful For The Needlework Monday

I am writing today, to say how wonderful it is to find needlework Monday... I have been doing a lot of sewing for the last 43 years, I had a little shop where we made all the clothes and I could not keep up making enough. It was a wonderful time in my life

One of steemit's newer tags, needlepointmonday, has been gaining steam and @bigbear is loving the posts. So much that she is sharing some of the jackets and clothing items she's made over the years.

How I Make My Yogurt

Been making my own yogurt for some time now. When my guts got interrupted some years ago after contacting intestinal parasites. Back then doctors had no advice how to help improve the good bacteria in your gut, after killing them off with full spectrum antibiotics... Plain yogurt is not the solution to replace the good bacteria, but helps in balancing things out. Good Probiotics is what you need to help replace the ones that were lost

Do you make your own yogurt? Ever wanted to try it? Well @manorvillemike is here today to show you how! Head over to the post to see how easy it can be to make your own at home.

My Art Venture: Pastel Drawing “The Viking” And The September When

It was again frosty weekend with a lot of wind and some snow, so stayed in watched very interesting documentary “Vikings Unearthed,” produced by PBS Nova... Everybody knows that Vikings are were Norse seafarers, mainly speaking the Old Norse language, who raided and traded from their Northern European homelands across wide areas of northern, central, eastern and western Europe, during the late 8th to late 11th centuries

Come along for a visual tour of @stef1's art work this week. The details in this drawing are beautiful and the image depicts the lifestyle of these Norse people from Scandanavia. Stop over and see how this drawing was made,

Steemauto Curation Trail

RIP Streemian and hello Steemauto! The new curation trail is active and running! If you would like to support your fellow Qurites or just earn some extra curation feel free to join our curation trail that is active on Steemauto.

We suggest not following the trail with 100%, steemauto has 2 ways of following a trail, static or scaled. We suggest using SCALED instead of static since static votes can add up quickly and drain VP very fast. We suggest using scaled and then maybe around 25%.

Steemauto can show us who is currently on the trail and at what percentage. Looking forward to see more Qurites joining the trail in the near future! We also reward the team players and there might be a nice surprize for a lucky trailer. =P
