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.
