Absolutely, and it's such great inspiration. When you work alone you can get in a 'rut' and kkep churning out the same sort of stuff; I've never really got into machine piecing and would NEVER have thought of Izy's d9p in a million years but I've really enjoyed doing it.
This forum is like being a part of a huge quilting group, there's a real sense of community. I love sewing with my laptop at the side of me, then i here the little bing bong that someone's posted on a topic I'm watching and go have a 'look see' - it's like you guys are all here with me!
