I joined the first day after I had wandered around in the site for a while and saw what a wonderful bunch of people were here. It was nice being able to be able to look around before joining. With some other groups you can only view their home page until you join and are approved and only then I would realize that the group was a mismatch for me and I'd have to back out. I feel a little like I'm in Disneyland for quilters and trying to mark my favorite places and threads, but I already feel at home.
