Here's a big question I have always wondered and all you that blog can maybe answer it.
I'm just a country girl and I have always really wanted to know a few things...don't be offended, I am serious:)
'why do you blog'?
'What started you blogging'?
'Aren't you afraid of others stealing your creative ideas since they are all w/in reach (public)of those that always do anyways?'
'How did you do (start)your blog/it?'.....thanks Skeat
Skeat, I always wondered that too!!!
I started mine since I have customers from all over. It gives me an opportunity to show the customer their quilts before we have a chance to get it back to them, and to share the ideas I use with other quilters. Most of us longarmers share ideas back and forth. "Stealing ideas" isn't necessarily a problem. Even if we try to do the exact same thing on exactly the same quilt top it doesn't necessarily execute exactly. Besides, for me, most of the enjoyment of this business is to take ideas from all over and come up with my own arrangement. I find it flattering for someone to like my designs enough to use them. My growth has come from learning from other LAers. I hope to pass it on to those who are also learning.
