riotheclownSo I've been reading a few articles about quilting and they aren't in quilting blogs.
Take for instance, this one. I know it's making fun, comparing quilting groups to fight clubs but still, The Onion is well read, perhaps not by many quilters but by people who laugh about things I don't understand.
And then there is this article. "Why Quilting is Good For Us", which throws quilting in with a bunch of activities like studying physics and trainspotting ! Any of you see the movie called Trainspotting?
Now I suppose the young men in the photo from the movie might be thinking about quilting but I doubt it. They are thinking about heroine addiction. Yes, the name of my blog is "Quilting is My Addiction" but I do not recommend alternate addictive activities. (I am so upset I alliterated!)
We don't want to be overwhelmed by physicists and drug addicts snatching up all the best swatches from the sale tables! What I am trying to say is, maybe we should dial our public enthusiasm down a bit until the media frenzy passes.
