You'll notice the spelling on my blog title has changed from The Gypsy Quilter to The Jypsy Quilter. Apparently there is online quilting store that also goes by the name of The Gypsy Quilter. The owner contacted me concerned that a professional business and and informal blog with the same name might cause people confusion, and asked that I change my blog title.
While I tend to give people more credit than that, given that she is a fellow quilter, and made her request courteously, I saw no reason not to comply.
I had to laugh at the irony of the situation though. As some of you may remember, I started out as The Desert Quilter, became the Prairie Quilter when I moved to Kansas, and decided after the move to Texas to choose a name that I would not have to change if I moved again (which I did, by the way ~ move that is). Hence The Gypsy Quilter. And now, I am indeed changing the blog title yet again, albeit in a very minor fashion. Maybe this will be the last time?
*And a shout out to my cousin, Lori, who suggested simply changing the spelling. That made life easy.
