I don't spend a lot of time at any one time but I'm on here for a few minutes many times during the day (BTW thanks to all who send recipes which are on the digest; I've gotten some keepers). Funny thing, the friend who first told me about this board doesn't read it at all. There are always pictures to enjoy, something to learn, and long-distance quilters to keep up with. It's a valued part of my quilting life.
