Comments -What they mean-Sewing Update

Bloggers typically set up blogs to allow comments. I allow everything except anonymous comments. Without comments we are writing into a black hole.  Book authors do this to some degree, but sales are a monetary reward for good writing. Sales for them are also a sure sign their work is getting read.

However, that is not what this is about.  Many of you know that I reply to almost every comment on my blog.  If you have written a comment and I can't reply, I generally make an effort to find an email for you.  I get frustrated when I can't say thanks for a sweet or insightful comment.

I have one regular commenter that I can't reply to (L Carolyn, this is you!)

i cannot do "one word"...need to use several! LOL! lovely piecing and quilting!! you are making wonderful progress!!! 
Thank you!

This morning I got the most wonderful comment from a non-quilter. Guess what? Non-Quilters are the quilter's real "audience" - they buy our work if they like it  and can afford it.
Look at this comment:

That comment does indeed mean a lot to me.  So much that it prompted this post.  Clamco - I would love to be able to email you in return for your comments.  If I had your email address, I could still reply even though you are what is known as a "no-reply blogger."
You can leave a comment disguising your email address something like this:
clamco ^ emailprovider * C  (c for com, N for net, O for org -if it is something else, you probably need to spell it out.)  The ^ for at and * for dot will confuse spammers more than AT and DOT will if the robots are smarter.  Really any symbol will work -as long as there are no other symbols, dashes etc in your email address. I just think the ^ looks like an A and the * is a fancy dot. Ha ha.

Last night, I quilted more on the quilt I am quilting.  I also sewed out a couple of embroidery designs.

The fabric used for these is salvaged khaki pants.  There were a few worn areas on the pants such as the back pocket, seat, and one knee that had to be cut away, but the rest was still great quality fabric.  So I rescued it when a friend was preparing to toss them in the bin.  I will use each of these designs on a notebook cover.  These are smaller designs that fit in a 4" by 4" hoop so they are perfect for it.


Comments are welcomed. I will reply when possible unless otherwise stated. Foolishly posted "hate speech" comments will be swiftly removed.
