I have a life and do get quilting done, but I have so enjoyed the exchange of ideas and support that blogging has brought to my life. I have a group of quilters locally that I identify with and two rather close quilting best buds, but sometimes they are too busy to really bounce things off of or share what they are doing. I find I really love that and need it. My blog, Fabric Therapy, is pretty bare bones...I'm often embarrassed of how quilting 'meat and potatoes' is really is...I don't know very many of the formatting slick tricks to make it very polished. I just try to share quilting, so I think I'm still more obsessed with quilting than with quilt blogging. I'd like to try publishing some of my original ideas, and I see my blog as a way to share some things and test the waters at some point to that end. I'd love to share some of my wacky applique ideas like you've shared so generously with us. That seems like a good thing.<br /><br />But look at this huge comment on the subject, trying to justify my blogging...hmmmm...pretty telling! I'm probably more addicted than I think I am!

I do not care about followers and I am not trying to make money blogging. I just use it as a way to record my quilts. Recently I am tired of the blog world and have been at a place where I do not even want to share what I am reading or working on that is quilt related. There are some nice people I have met and I do enjoy seeing what they are working on. I liked blogging back in 2007 when it was different than what it is now. My blog got full so I deleted a lot of the older years.Meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06788501040456075846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-70873023871908422562011-01-14T13:44:41.266-05:002011-01-14T13:44:41.266-05:00P.S.

I also do all my blog reading during the week, when I'm too tired and busy to sew. That's how I stay engaged in my craft during the week. It works for me. But, I will say, I'm pretty addicted during the week and have to self-manage by saying, "Do X amount of work and then you can have 5 min of blog checking." hahaMama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16842436821856738731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-18458020814245115812011-01-14T13:07:36.539-05:002011-01-14T13:07:36.539-05:00Oh no, please don't all go away.

I only spend about a half hour/day checking email/blogs etc. Then I use it to follow patterns that I have designed using EQ7 or ones that I have downloaded. My sewing room was getting buried in paper from printed notes, so now I read the pattern from the computer screen. I have been going through my files, and if the pattern is stored on my computer, I've been recycling the pattern - either to a friend or my recycling bin.Susan Torrenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06447715985030952285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-41561550792063195622011-01-14T11:13:59.882-05:002011-01-14T11:13:59.882-05:00UH OH busted!
