Introductions, part deux

Who am I? Well, obviously, I like to quilt. But I have always been a bit reluctant to be identified primarily as a quilter, hence the name of this blog. I think it’s because I don’t consider myself a ‘typical’ quilter, although I’m sure there could be much discussion over what is a ‘typical’ quilter. Based on articles I read in quilting magazines and other sources, I do feel that I just don’t really fit in with most other quilters and their preferences in quilts. I will go into that further as we go along.

The other factor is that I am still a little bit surprised myself that I like to quilt. I have never been interested in sewing in general and resisted all attempts when I was younger to do any sewing at all. I’m not into fashion and I’m not into old fashioned furnishings or styles. So I’m still trying to figure out myself why I love it so much, and I have some ideas on that, but what really matters is that I like to do it. But since it is in no way the only thing I like to do, this blog will meander in and around quilting and often take huge detours. In other words, I’m just going to write about a lot of different things as I think of them. Raven doesn’t care!
