What's in a name ?

I decided I would play along with Dawn  of As Sweet as  Cinnamon  and explain why my blog has the name it has , well it won't take a genius to figure it out after all my name is Sheila , now when I started my blog a year and a bit ago this was a whole new concept to me and I had been reading blogs for a little while and finally decided I would like to give it a try so when I got the google account I realized I needed a name and I just put the first thing that popped into my head .Since I am so into quilting these days "Quilt World" was the first thing that came to me, but about a year ago now I got an email from the magazine Quilt World threatening legal action if I did not change the name so I asked them if I added Sheila would that work and they were fine with that so that is where this name came from. I didn't want you all to have to visit me in prison after all ;-0

    So many times I sighed:"I need more hours in a day, or I should be sent to prison, with permission to use fabrics, needles, pins and scissors, so that my quilting disease can be treated as well and I can spend those imprisoned years in a useful way".....
    We could ask to be roommates :>)

    I'm glad you didn't go to jail - I might not have met you! Can you blog from jail? Can you sew n jail? Best to stay out of jail.

    What a great idea and I now know the reason behind your blog's name! Maybe you should make a prison quilt :)

    Oh Wow, that's crazy! They actually took the time and effort to threaten legal action on a blogger? And on such a nice person! Anyway, thanks for sharing your name story!

    Wow! Legal action huh? My grandmother would have said they were just a little too big for their britches. Glad you didn't have to go to jail for it. :)

    I remember when that happened when you first started blogging and I thought at the time it was incredibly horrible of them. I've not bought their magazine since - the meanies.

    wow, that is so interesting that they would bother you because of your blog name. I could see it if you were making a magazine yourself but just a blog. Oh well, glad you got that straightened out.

    Sheila, that would have nearly done me in!! I know as I write some things I am thinking about who may read it in the future and if it may have repercussions.. I can't believe they did that!!
