What's in a name?


Dawn, over at As Sweet as Cinnamon has asked how/why we named our blog what we did.  I decided to play along and tell you all about the exciting meaning of the name 'Quilting Dreams'.  A couple of years before I actually started my blog, I thought I was about to lose my job, and I made a list of things I wanted to accomplish while I was out of work.  Starting a blog was on that list.  Fortunately, I found a great job and never had that downtime to accomplish things.  So one day a couple of years later, I was reading blogs, and decided just to see how easy it was.  In a matter of about 60 seconds, I had a blog!  I wasn't really prepared for that, and gave it the goofy name of Quilting Dreams.  No thought process at all.  I was a very new quilter, and most of the blogs that I read were quilting blogs.  I really wish I could go back and do it over, but I won't.  If I did, it would probably have "sunflower" or "black-eyed Susan" in the name.

  5. Hind-sight is always 20/20. I was hasty in naming my sewing blog too. I took the easy route. It is what it is.
    I followed the link to Dawn's blog and spent the better part of the day hopping around reading all the posts....so I added my name to the list too.
    Still in town because "they" would not allow me to fly because I am sick. sigh
