My name is..........

bluepatchquilter - why? Dawn from As Sweet as Cinnamon is asking just that question. She is offering a giveaway prize if you blog about your name and link up to her blog.
So - my incredibly original and wacky name, not, came about from my ebay sign in.........when you get to my age (lol) you don't need too many identities and I remember way back (yes, I do) when I used to ebay a lot, they gave ideas of how you could choose a sign in name which would be unique to yourself. Choose your favourite colour they said, and your hobby or pastime...........and bluepatch was conceived. When I started my blog I laboured for hours before coming up with the ingenious addition of quilter.

  4. Lol, I did have a Slim Shady moment there when I started to read. Anyway, works fine, and possibly more descriptive than some about the contents!
