Woohoo! Quiltscapes is now a (dot) com!!! My blog, formerly known as
h t t p : / / q u i l t s c a p e s q u i l t i n g . b l o g s p o t . c o m
is now officially
Isn't that terrific? It's a thing of beauty! So precise, half the size of my former handle, and says exactly what I want it to say. You might ask why the change? (OK, you asked, here goes!)
Well, besides the fact that there is a fabric store out there that uses quiltscapes.com for their store website, (which, it seems, has nothing to do with their store name, location or otherwise), and the beautiful quiltscapes artwork by Rebecca Barker (which I only discovered AFTER I had registered my business name 8-1/2 years ago with my state), the name Quiltscapes is what came to mind when I began longarm quilting. It was how I percieved the texture of a quilted quilt, the environment I can create from a flat piece of fabric with my stitches, and how a finished quilt becomes something beyond just the fabrics, somewhere between 2-D and 3-D, an almost living thing, brought to life with my quilting. I know, deep, huh? Quiltscapes.

And the extra "QS"? The perfect acronym for just about everything else in my quilty world:
QS =
Quilting Services (longarm business)
Quilt School (classes)
Qs (as in "Cues" or Tutorials, Tips, Tricks & Tools - This one may have to be "QTs" as in "cuties", lol!)
Qs (as in ?s and Querys, as in "Ask Deonn". I get lots of these ?s daily - phone calls, emails, comments, etc. I'll be starting a page specifically for this soon.)
Thanks to Amy, my Personal Technological Consultant and best friend's IT-savvy daughter, my old name automatically directs to the new handle, nice!
At any rate, this little blog is growing up - getting to be a big girl now with her own (dot) com. According to my own big grown-up girls, she is also due for a makeover. Soon. 'Til then,
Happy Blogging!
