I feel like I'm the only quilter in my area who isn't retired.... and have no one to share my quilting with. I've learned so much reading others blogs and thought a few nice people might start reading what I posted and encourage me during quilting rough spots.<br /><br />The people I've come in contact with are such much fun and full of life... so supportive and helpful... and just plain fun to hang out with virtually.<br /><br />I no longer feel like The Lone Quilter... but part of a quilting community...Impera Magnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00889488057400766469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8888454117622726358.post-629927174047733582011-06-09T13:38:14.475-06:002011-06-09T13:38:14.475-06:00Hmm...

I blog to share experience with others, it's fun, I like the community aspect and I make "product" (not money) from my blog and money for writing articles for OTHER blogs.<br /><br />:)<br /><br />Scary that there are almost 200 million blogs out there!Natural Mommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08020682334169497438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8888454117622726358.post-68246355996049858372011-06-09T13:04:15.885-06:002011-06-09T13:04:15.885-06:00I read blogs for over a year before I thought, hmm...I read blogs for over a year before I thought, hmm, I may have something to add to that. In fact, it was wanting to add along with the fact that I finally found like minded people! I was tired of watching my husbands eyes glaze over when I mentioned fabric or pin wheels. None of my friends whom I see here are into sewing and I could see them to, not interested in it and no, they would not come to the fabric store with me. <br />Blogging has been the best thing that has come into my life this past couple of years. Finally I do not feel like a geek, but part of something so creative and wonderful. I would not give up my blogging friends for anything!<br />Money is the reason I go to work in the morning, blogging is what I do to get enjoyment and validation in my life. I love you guys!<br />hugs,<br />CarolynThe Vegetarian Hunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16509828621100109329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8888454117622726358.post-30475323815671435762011-06-09T12:53:13.761-06:002011-06-09T12:53:13.761-06:00I don't make any money.

Well I blog because I am a spazzzz..and like you, I really like sharing my ideas and the millions of things running through my head. Yes it would be nice to eventually make $ blogging...but that is not my #1 goal. I think if you make that your priority people will get turned off..I do LOVE your blog though and always appreciate these kinds of posts from you.Lindsay @ Delighted Mommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06463953700042251703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8888454117622726358.post-49773627579355959492011-06-09T12:16:39.657-06:002011-06-09T12:16:39.657-06:00Thank you for asking.

I also blog for sales and to acquire members to my residential sculpture class. I said I'd give blogging 2 years and if nothing happened, I was quitting. It has been 2 1/2 years now and I am very happy with the results. I can't imagine not blogging now!<br /><br />Just found you today through your very nice comment to my blog. Thank you. I like what I see and read on yours.<br /><br />Warm wishes,<br />Cheryl<br />Healing WomanHealing Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13654497453272680145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8888454117622726358.post-30333814171909272342011-06-09T11:44:58.916-06:002011-06-09T11:44:58.916-06:00First of all, BRAVO!

I totally thought you were going in a different direction and kept reading waiting on the lane change...<br /><br />Blogging and why do it is a definite topic on my mind right now. Had I not just purchased my name for an entire year, I may have very well thrown in the towel.<br /><br />I don't make money on my blog, not sure how to go about it, but I think it has something to do with advertisements and such on blogs and bloggers getting paid every time someone clicks on an ad from their page. I would LOVE to get into the business of selling my afghans, though I'm not sure there is enough interest.<br /><br />So why is it I blog? I found the blog network to be a great place to like you said "share" as well as maybe make a few friends who you can connect with.<br /><br />Hugs~MitziAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8888454117622726358.post-7242247800601975072011-06-09T09:30:56.358-06:002011-06-09T09:30:56.358-06:00I started blogging when I started selling my patte...I started blogging when I started selling my patterns commercially. I thought it would "get my name out there". Then I found a whole world of people who loved to do what I love to do. It expanded my awareness of what others are doing with quilting and just "in their lives". I found commonality. I found validation. I found friendship.I do not make money with my blog, but my life is enriched because of it.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06755191961134444671noreply@blogger.com
