Konstatin, thank you so much for creating this board :D :D :D
I wonder if you knew when you created this site, how many lives you would be touching, and bringing together. You have created not only an online quilting community, but have birthed a quilting family.
I really enjoy and learn so much from your newsletters, when I go to my email and see it there, I get a smile on my face and can't wait to see what you are going to discuss. I have learned a lot from the newsletters, and I enjoy the broad spectrum that you cover.
You made it possible for me to meet so many wonderful, caring, kind, compassionate, encouraging, and knowledgable people. You have created a 24 hour, 7 days a week, quilting guild. I am so proud to be able to say that I belong to this board/guild. I only wish that I could find the words to describe just how much this board has touched my life.

To all of the members of this board I want to say thank you, knowing all of you has made my life richer in so many ways! I look forward to celebrating many more board birthdays with all of you!

I completely agree with what Amma said.

Konstantin, when I first came across your newsletter, forwarded to me from a friend, I thought I had found yet another quilting place that was too advanced for me. I was even less than a beginner having never touched a sewing machine or other crafts before. How wrong I was.

I have a whole binder of printed material that I have saved form your newsletters. I look forward to them and tell everyone quilting that I come across to join your list as well as this board. I have so many new friends here and so many that I admire and have learned from.

Thank you thank you thank you.

Happy Birthday Board!!!

I have really enjoyed the board and the wonderful community it has given me access to. I have met some very caring thoughtful people through here, whom have become friends.

Happy 1st Birthday
May there be many more :D

I must add my thanks and gratitude for this wonderful place we spend so much time in learning and sharing. I've learned so much, I've met some of the best people in the world and so enjoyed every moment spent here.

Thank you so much for giving a venue for wonderful fun, sharing, and love.

Happy Quilting,
Sharon

I would also like to add my thanks :!: :!: :!: I have been receiving the newsletters for awhile, but joining this board was a first for me. I am always timid about things like this. But I couldn't have picked a better group of people who share the same interest. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

I totally agree with the testimonials above. I cannot fathom how many warm, good hearted,honest people from all over the world have gravitated to one place that have a single common thread.

How old is the quilting board?

I agree with everyone's comments. This is such a warm, wonderful community. I especially love how everyone goes out of their way to post pictures and answer questions. I've learned so much in the short time I've been here. And I love seeing pics of everyone's projects, sewing rooms, families, pets, etc.

Thanks, Konstantin, for starting the board and for the helpful newsletters. Happy Birthday, Quilting Board!

Sandy

I haven't been here long but I am so glad to have found you all.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Happy Birthday to the Quilting Board and such a great place to come and enjoy the company of others with similar interests and likes. I have learned much, laughed often, cried some, prayed alot. Thanks.

I too would like to thank Kostatin and the entire board for enriching my life. Great information, much encouragement, and many laughs, are what this board is about. You are all awesome.

I agree with Amma 100%. With me being disabled, I don't get out much so I've made alot of friends on the forum. I even quilted. Something I've wanted to do for yrs, but too scared to do. The gals/guys on here taught me alot and I love ya all dearly.

well it's not quite November 18th, yet, but I will probably be neck deep in sewing by then, so, I too want to add my own gratefuls here!
The friendships I have made here are priceless. The information makes me glaze over, and the pictures just give my salivary glands a fit! :wink:
We can learn, drool, chit chat, share, visit over back fence, laugh, cry, ooh and ahhh! and dream...just to name a few.
When I am not sewing or playing with my grandbabies, it's my favorite place to be.
Many thanks to admin and all who make this such a wonderful place. :D

Thank you so much for the best site on the web for quilting friends and information.
You have done a wonderful job of attracting the best quilters and created a web site that is easy to learn and use.

This is one of my favorite places to be. Thanks so much.

Ditto! I am very faithful to this board! The only other website I visit often is quilterscache.com. This board is my only link to quilting!
Thank you and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Use to get emails from a Peggy somebody . Got to where every newsletter she was trying to sell you something. I love this site & all my friends near & far. I don't remember how I even found this site but I am so glad I did. HB 2 U.

Thanks from me also.
This is a great place. :D

Happy birthday and thank you for this great site. I've learned more about quilting from you and the board members than I could have from taking classes-I can always search for answers from past posts or ask and get answers immediately. The newsletters are informative and easy to understand.
Here's to a happy birthday and to many more years!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KONSTANTINE QUILTING BOARD

I just want to add that this is not a board its a box of treasure full of jewells who r members and friends

Thank u and go ahead

Ditto to everything. I love this board. I am on in 4-5 times thru out the day.

This may sound mushy.....but this board is so full of love and friendship...

Tears come to my eyes even now, about 2 months ago I asked about starting my stash, and so many people came out from behind the sewing machines and said....

Here Darlene, here is something for you!

Total strangers entered my heart and did not ask for anything in return.

All the members on this board are pure angels, thank you for starting this board.

In so many ways....you saved my life.

Thank you again.

Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CajunQuillter2 has an addiction. Me too. I check my emails all day long between chasing 3 year old, sewing, embroiderying & darn it that awful job that gets in my way cleaning house. Love you all.

Happy Birthday Quilting Board!! I love visiting this wonderful site. Many thanks and heartfelt hugs.

I am rereading old posts, very true, I love this Board and the warmth and friendship found on here.You embody what quilting is all about!

Ditto and Ditto

.

same here. I love this site.

Happy Birthday from me too.

Thank you for creating this fabulous site for us - it's truly appreciated. Once I discovered this board, it quickly became my #1 go-to...now it's the ONLY one I use for all things quilting. Somehow you have created a site that is inviting and comfortable - I always feel I'm among friends here.

Someone, I have forgotten who, aimed me in the direction of this board, they told me it was a great place to find help, patterns, tips on the best quilting shops, and most of all friends far and wide who share the love for quilting.
This board has helped me a great deal. Thank you so very much and I look forward to many more years of tips, pictures of beautiful quilts made by the members
Happy Birthday

I too have forgotten just how I found the board, but am ever so greatful that I did for all the reasons that have been stated above by many others.

Thank you and Happy Birthday!

Congratulations! I really love this group too. I have learned so much and you all are so helpful. How long ago did this board start? I guess I missed that if it was mentioned.
