I have been looking at some modern quilt blogs today, and actually have one of my owns that I barely bother with, but I this is how I feel about modern quilting blogs: I. get exhausted when I read modern quilting blogs. The women are mostly younger than I am, and irrepressibly chirpy and cheery. They make me want to go lie down on the floor. And they are always saying, "My friend from this blog..." And "My friend from that blog..." with uplifting stories of their many commercial and creative successes. And contests, with blog hops. It all just makes me tired. But they are all pretty young, and I am not anymore.
