Kwilty Pleasures blog was born.
A Kwilty Pleasure, by my definition,

I began blogging in the Fall of 2011
had no clue what I was doing
or really what "blogging" was all about.
I knew I loved to write, loved technology
and loved kwilting. Combine those 3 loves and
Kwilty Pleasures blog was born.
A Kwilty Pleasure, by my definition,
is anything fabric or fiber in the
kwilting world that puts a smile on your face
and fills your creative soul with pleasure.
I just luuuuuuvvvvv blogging and I have learned so much!!!
Let me break it down!
What I luv about blogging!!!
- I have a "voice" in blogland
- I get to write about my passions - kwilting, gardening, etc
- I get to read my followers "wonderful" comments!
- I get to leave comments on other inspirational blogs
- I wake up in the middle of the nite with an idea for a post
- I get to take photos for my posts
- I am addicted to blog hopping
- I get to make projects "for" blog hops
- I get to party everyday by joining up with linky parties
- I get to WIN giveaways - and GIVE prizes in giveaways
- I have new bloggy friends all over the world.
- I draw my inspiration from other bloggers
- I get to see wonderful projects of other bloggers
- I get to follow links a blogger may post and find even more inspiration!
- I get to challenge myself bywriting tutorials
- I get to read great tutorials and try new techinques
- I see no evidence of QUILT-ZILLAS or their crap!
What I have learned about blogging...
- I need a good camera for blog photos (but I need more practice)
- My head spins 360 degrees as I drive around looking for "outdoor photo opportunities"
- I will freeze my arse off (I wish) taking those photos
- My husband's bi-ceps are looking good from holding up my kwilts for those photo ops.
- I love to try all the new technology for blog designs
- I now can use FLICKR for more than just PHOTOS!
- FLICKR email strings are overwhelming!
- I know how to link my posts to other social media
- I spend way more time in blogland than ever imagined (good thing I recently retired)
- I can multi-task: watch TV, read social media on my iPad, type posts on my laptop and occasionally look up to see if my hubby is still in his recliner!
- I had to put a white-board in my sewing room to keep track of what blog post is due when...what I'm making for hops, etc.
- I have a wonderful "following"...hell, I didn't even know what a following was when I began blogging !
- I have determined that reading your comments is more important than email, FB or Pinterest
- NO REPLY BLOGGERS make me sad - can't respond to them
- I start my day with coffee, my iPad and reading blogs, FB, Pinterest...sometimes that's as far as I get (period) I'm hooked!
- Folks are actually reading my blog and leaving comments.
- Comments inspire me. It is so nice to know someone out there has an interest in what I'm saying, doing, showing.
- Comments give me hope that my creativity just might make a difference for someone out there.
