Quilting Daze

Me, Myself & I
Recently while reading a post on one of the Yahoo e-mail groups I tripped across and visited Jeanne's blog. Her blog led me to many others and I spent more hours than I care to count, reading current and archival posts. I'm not going to dwell on that - suffice it to say that I had an absolute BLAST reading about a variety of quilting ventures, etc.

I'd been encouraged to start my own blog so that I, too, could share my quilting challenges and ventures. I thought it might be better if I did my blog in a "secret" mode - not wanting anyone to know who I was. Why??? Well, I didn't want to worry about seeking acceptance or
worry about rejection. There's a huge problem with that entire thought process, though, I want to make friends via this blog. How is that possible if I'm in a "secret" mode????? Patti sent me an e-mail and "tagged" me - "consider yourself tagged and tell us more about yourself". I panicked when I read that however it made me think long and hard about this blog. Oh, I could go on and on but why beat a dead horse. I've decided that this blog cannot be in "secret" mode and I can't be incognito - I am who I am and I shouldn't be ashamed! Hopefully I'll be accepted by all who stop by to read my blog and share in my quilting.
