The Queen of Blog...And What I've Learnd From Her
I love to read. Hands down, it's my favorite thing to do. All day long, I look forward to the last hour of my day. Peaceful quiet reigns through the house, my kids sleeping snuggly in their beds, and my husband spending his last few moments on the computer with all of his computer-land buddies. This is my reading time. As I slip into bed and open my book, picking up where I left off from the night before, the cares of thee world slip away from me. And lately I've been reading a great book about a great blogger, "Julie & Julia" by Julie Powell. It's the book that the movie by the same name was based on. It sparked my interest, and I read "My Life in France" by the great Julia Child. Now I need to get my hands on one of her cook books and cook my way through it. (Anyway, I digress from the point I wanted to make.)
So, I've been reading the words of the highly entertaining Julie Powell, who cooked her way through Julia Child's first cookbook. And she's inspired me. I want to be more serious about what I'm putting out here for my two faithful readers to read. And I want to find something better to write about. So here's where I'm headed.....
I'm going to really begin the journey that Quilter's Journey symbolized for me. I want to (metaphorically speaking, of course) cook my way through some of the greats in the quilting world out there. I feel I can really learn more from all of these people who have gone before, so to speak, and apply to my own journey towards becoming a master quilter. So I'm going to start with the great Kim Diehl. Now, she's a personal fav of mine (same names not withstanding) because I've actually met her and taken classes from her. Kim's teaching techniques set a high standard for anyone wishing to take up the instructional part of quilting. So I'm going to start with one of my favs that I have been longing to make: the cover quilt for "Simple Traditions". It's a beautiful wall hanging, with a dahlia in a basket gracing the exact center of this eye catching quilt. So I hope ya'll will join me on this journey toward learning from all of the greats in the quilting world.
