Wow. QuiltCon is a lot to take in. I’m glad I’ll be here for a few days.
I’m taking a little break and thought I’d go ahead and post some quick pics from the morning from the awards ceremony.

Excellent blog! Do you have any tips for aspiring writers?
I’m planning to start my own blog soon but I’m a little
lost on everything. Would you recommend starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid
option? There are so many options out there that I’m totally confused .. Any suggestions? Thank you!
Thanks Baju! I use wordpress and like it. I think they are all probably good, and the best thing to do is just get started and have fun. 🙂 Happy blogging!
