Thank you all for your thoughtful comments on blogging sustenance and sustainability. While I don’t measure my blogging worth by the number of comments I receive, it is very encouraging when a post prompts such feedback.

I like knowing there is a world wide quilt guild of friends at my fingertips. I love sharing my little corner of the world with others, & I love seeing thiers in words & pictures.

I blog so that my friends and family know I am still alive and they can see what I am doing with my time. If other readers come it is a bonus. Comments keep me going. It affirms my decisons on works in progress and also lets me know I am making someones’s day brighter. Mine is primarily quilt content with a little personal thrown in.

Honestly, I like to hear myself talk… I like the record of what I am doing, I like to go back & see my plans come to fruition, I love to see that when I do things awkwardlt or oddly that I am not alone. I have never had a comment that said, “I’ve never heard of that.” or “You are the only one that does that.” Which makes the world just a little bit smaller, warmer, & happier. - At least for one blogger.

Besides no one locally wants to hear about how much I like this fabric & what I plan to do with it…

The question for me is: what prevents me blogging more often? Two things - lack of time and the degree to which my brain is dead after a day at work. It’s no coincidence that I blog more frequently on weekends.

I’ve only recently started blogging. I’m still in de phase that I still like to look for new features and add them to my blog in the hope it makes it a little nicer to read/visit. I’m also still looking for new blogs on quilting. It amazes me how many people are out there who quilt and blog. It is very inspirational.
I hope to keep the blogging up. I’m like most, the main purpose is to inform about quilt related subjects, but I add also a little about myself and other things I’m doing. My mission is to publish at least once a week. But some weeks are more eventful then others.
I agree with Kent on what keeps me going: comments left by readers; reading other blogs, being honest and sincere, set internal goals.
What discourages me? The slowness of progress on my quilts.

Comments - I get a real buzz out of knowing that I said somthing to which someone else responded enough to want to comment. Or as my mother wouls say… I just have to be the centre of attention!!

What keeps me blogging? I’m beginning to wonder. When I started my blog I made the conscious decision to keep it textile related and mostly I have succeeded, but of course that does limit things hugely.

There are those who could probably make a bag of potato peelings sound interesting, but why write about soggy peelings in a textile blog? Mostly though, my own blog malaise centres around that most precious commodity, time.
