...it's so friendly. where else do we get problems listened to, sometimes solved, loads of advice - the kind you pay heed to!- praise of all our sewing efforts, self esteem boosted, ..everyone is so lovely, a community of people with quilting in common but with such diversity that every aspect is touched upon. The only downside is that I spend so much time here reading, oohing & aahing at pictures, replying to some posts that time at my sewing machine has reduced. Not complaining though!!
