The Sexual Morality of Quilting

This is a blog of vices, my vices. A vice, according to Mirriam-Webster Dictionary, is a "a habitual and usually trivial defect or shortcoming." It is also "sexual immorality; prostitution." This will not be a blog of defects or prostitution, but it will be blog of shortcomings. It will also be a blog of addictions, something I'm sure many people would consider a shortcoming. But my addictions are a little different than most. There are some common but harmless addictions like reading and writing. But then there are my odd addictions, one being crafting. That's right, crafting: knitting, sewing, scrapbooking, and baking. I just can't get enough of it. And my most recent crafting foray is quilting. After everything else it seemed like a natural progression. Within days of becoming interested in quilting, I found my first project: Elizabeth Hartman's Tokyo Subway Map Quilt.

Tick-Tock

Before you get too excited to read about my oh-so-fascinating life, be warned: this post is going to be pretty personal and discuss death. If that makes you uncomfortable, don't read it. Go look at cute animals or my much less serious tumblr instead.
