The idea to start a blog...

Okay, so there are a ton of blogs out there, most are boring and some are put you to sleep snooze fests! I have never really wanted to bog down the blogging world, except with the kittens, for fear of putting people to sleep. Then I decided to start this blog about my own quilting adventures...

I began quilting in 2004, after many years of watching quilting shows and thinking I would really like it. I always thought I could NEVER enter into a real quilting shop, since I was not a quilter. Then one day I got up the nerve to walk into The Cozy Quilt Shop, in San Diego. I remember feeling extremely intimidated by all the perfect quilts hanging on the walls, and the knowledgeable chatter happening all around me. I almost turned right back around and RAN!

One of those quilting ladies stopped me with a simple smile and 1 word... Hello! I looked at her for a second or two before I was able to tell her I wanted to learn ow to quilt. I was prepared for her to laugh me out of the shop, but she happily told let me to the counter where she had a list of classes! Classes that were designed for people like ME, non-quilters!! I was thrilled! I was actually going to BE a quilter!
