How did you choose the name for your blog?
When I first started my blog I wanted to name my blog
QuiltyGirl, which is my email address. Unfortunately the name was
already taken! I started to brainstorm other ideas that would go well
with QuiltyGirl, which led me to "The Girl Who Quilts". I started
quilting right after college, when I was just 22. That used to be
considered quite young in the quilting world, so using the term "girl"
seemed to fit!
Were there other names you considered, and can you share any of them with us?
I honestly don't remember if I came up with any
other options! I've always struggled with coming up with creative names,
so when I thought of "The Girl Who Quilts" I ran with it.
Isn't the orange zipper the absolute best detail?!
Now that you are recognized by The Girl Who Quilts, are you happy with it, or do you wish you could change it to something else?
Now that I've been blogging for awhile (and,
ahem, getting older!), I do sometimes wish I had chosen a different
name. I've also been thinking more about selling my quilts, and I think a
sleeker name might work better.
Here is that dreamy orange color again...
I may decide to just change the name of
my etsy shop, rather than a complete overhaul. But first I have to
think up something new that I like!
Be sure to head over to Nikki's blog to say hi. Plan on spending LOTS of time looking around. I could have kept adding pictures here but you really need to go check her out for yourself.Thanks, Nikki, for playing The Name Game this week!

ReplyDeleteWow, what a bunch of awesome makes!
ReplyDeleteI like including "girl". It make me feel lighter, happier, younger....like when my little boy used to call me "Mommy girl". It makes you a super hero!
ReplyDeleteThanks for having me over! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat post Quilty Girl, isnt it annoying when your chosen blog name is taken, usually unused as well!

ReplyDeleteLove Nikki, love her style, love her projects, love her humour. Annoyed that she moved away from the PNW. :)
ReplyDeleteHey! I'm still waiting for my questions!
ReplyDeleteI know, you were just waiting until I started commenting on your blog again, and got past the torturous first 1/4th of my semester. Okay, I'm ready to play. . .
. . when you're ready.
Your pal, Elizabeth E.
