My first post - WOO HOO!!

I'm new to this - so bear with me while I try to figure out what the hell I'm doing.  For those of you who are offended by the profanity - STOP READING NOW!!

I will undoubtedly say something rude, out of line, offensive, or worse sooner or later - so if you are easily offended, don't say I didn't warn you.  I will try to be more funny than bitchy - but we'll see how that works out.  Can't tell just yet.

As my title line says - The Quilt Bitch - I love to quilt.  I love to bitch.  And sometimes I make a bitchin' quilt.

I decided to start a blog so that I could share my love of quilting and maybe some pictures of my projects and an occasional - or maybe more than occasional - bitch rant.  I couldn't decide what to call my blog but I knew that it had to have two words in it for sure - "quilt" and "bitch".  I really wanted to call it "The Bitchin' Quilter" but thought it sounded too much like "The Bitchy Stitcher".  I love Megan's blog - and sure didn't want anyone to think I was she.  (Yes, I do believe the grammar is correct on that one.)  Megan is waaaaaaaaay funnier than I am - so I decided against a blog name that close to hers.  I had a couple of names on my list - and imagine my surprise then my very first choice was "available".  (Maybe I should have re-arranged my list - but, oh well, too late.)

Anyway - for now I'm somewhat anonymous and no one really knows that I'm here - so I can pretty much say what I want about anyone/anything I want without having to censor myself.  Would I say something about someone that I wouldn't say to his/her face?  Probably not.  Would I say something on this blog about someone when I knew he/she might see it?  Probably not.  I really am a nice lady.  But there are times when someone does something that just rubs you the wrong way and you have to tell "somebody".  This blog is my "somebody".  I don't get out much these days (I'll tell you more about that someday), and I "really do need to talk to some grown-ups in the daytime" (I'll tell you that story, too - someday).

As far as the quilting goes - I'm not perfect but I have won my share of blue ribbons at the local county fair and at a Quilt Show in a near-by town.  I have never entered a quilt in a juried show or any type of international competition.  Maybe someday.

As far as the bitching goes - I'd like to paraphrase Leslie Gore - "It's my blog and I'll bitch if I want to, bitch if I want to, bitch if I want to.  You would bitch too, if it happened to you."  I swear sometimes the world if full of idiots - and they are all out to mess up my life.

And sometimes I really do make a bitchin' quilt.  I promise to post pictures and show them to you when I figure out how to do that part of this blogging thingy.

Wow - that was easy.  Didn't hurt much at all.
