THE ACCIDENTAL BLOG
It’s funny because I never planned to start a blog…I was taking an online Photoshop class from Kim Klassen and the next class in her series was about blogging. I only took the class because I wanted to learn “mouseovers” and GIFs.
As I worked through the course, I thought a blog would be a good way to share my new hobby (photography) and my old hobby (quilting) with my friends and family.
QUILTS ARE POPULAR ON THE WEB
For months, I had 30 followers-all friends and family. Everything changed when I wrote the post “Four Steps to Perfectly Quilted Spirals”.
Suddenly, my “views” quadrupled and a few more followers signed up.
I tried it again with another quilt tutorial…
Again my “views” quadrupled and a few more followers.
The Tuesday Tutorials were born! (See the full library of free motion quilt step-by-step motifs)
THANK YOU
I am really grateful to all of you who were there in the early days, and I am excited about everyone who has joined us since.
We have SO much more quilting, free motion quilting, time management for quilters, organization for quilters, projects, photography, jaunts, Seamstresses in Fine Art, Silent Sundays (photography), paper-piecing, doodling, works in progress….
WELCOME! And help spread the word…please SHARE with ALL your QUILTY FRIENDS!
The best thing about having 5000 of us?
We ALL learn so much from the comments and on Open Line Friday-where everyone asks and EVERYONE answers!
If you’re new to The Inbox Jaunt or if you’re an OLD FRIEND…
TWO THINGS YOU CAN DO FOR ME
- SHARE with all your friends–quilters and quilt-lovers
